I’ve liked fighting lynels, ever since besting my first one near Lanayru Gate and with some difficulty and fairies. I was really pleased when I discovered that I could mount them. That is perhaps one of the best parts of the fight.
Seriously, huge applause to OG Link for fighting Lynels at the age of 10.
Adding sketch version because I always like the sketch better. I mess up as soon as I start colouring lol.
I’ve finished all the sidequests and shrines in BOTW. I’ve got like a month before TOTK is released. In light of this, I’ve decided to let Link run little normal errands all over Hyrule so he has a semblance of normalcy before I forcibly launch him into torment on May 12th.
Trying so hard to not start fic writing before I've even finished the game but I want so so bad to write a time travel fic where post totk wild gets sent back to pre calamity hyrule in the middle of a lynel or gleeok fight, like he's just covered in monster blood and guts with a mishmash of armour pieces (at least one barbarian piece) hair long and tangled, scars all over, wielding a ridiculously huge savage lynel spear tipped with dragon claw and dripping sizzling blood. Smoke coming off him. Arm looking half rotted.
In the middle of the throne room.
Several particularly delicate lords and ladies faint. All the guards are pointing spears. He nearly takes someone's eye out before realising where he is.
Once he realises when he is it becomes a race of time to make the right waves before zelda comes to pick him up.
Y'know what would be even scarier than a Lynel roaring? A Lynel making a hyena-like laughing sound. Like imagine this:
You're walking around Hyrule Field, then all of the sudden, you hear the unnerving sound of a hyena-like animal laughing. Then you look around for whatever that sound is... then you see it: a Lynel mere meters away from you and ready to kill.
I will attempt to avoid lynels unless I have fully stocked up on shields, and weapons, and elixirs. Lynels that I’ve been fighting since botw and know how to beat. And now, playing totk, I actively seek out gleeoks to fight for fun whilst still hating lynels even though I’ve fought them way before fighting gleeoks.
Maybe this is just a me thing but lynels are the bane of my existence no matter how many times I’ve successfully killed them.
(Still do occasionally go on lynel killing sprees though. Live laugh hate those things <3)
kinda wanna try hunting down all the lynels in totk. ever since i killed that silver one in the depths I'm just like wait omg i wanna go back and find those mfs who were giving me a hard time 😤🤺 ← she wants 2 dance !!!
