Zelda: Unleashing Unbelievable Techniques to Tame a Lynel

A skilled player of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has recently showcased a remarkably ingenious technique for mounting a Lynel on social media. This complex strategy for battling the formidable creature surfaced online just as fans of the Zelda franchise began speculating about the potential release of Tears of the Kingdom DLC. In comparison to the previous game, the latest Zelda installment introduced several new creatures to its enemy lineup, but few are as ferocious as Lynels. Similar to Breath of the Wild, Lynels continue to pose a significant threat to players in Tears of the Kingdom, rivaling even the challenging boss battles.

Some Tears of the Kingdom players have learned the hard way that overthinking Lynel fights can lead to disaster. However, others are using their online platform to showcase their impressive combat skills when facing these formidable enemies. One Reddit user, FilthmasterRich, recently shared a gameplay clip that demonstrates a clever strategy for mounting a Lynel using Link's Ascend ability. The video quickly went viral as viewers marveled at the player's tactics. In the clip, FilthmasterRich positions themselves beneath an agitated White-Maned Lynel, crouching down and grabbing a nearby rock. As the Lynel prepares to charge, the player drops the rock and ascends through it, landing on the creature's back and delivering powerful attacks. Fans were amazed by the achievement, with the video's author calling it the "wildest way" they have ever mounted a Lynel. What made the footage even more impressive was the fact that Link was on the brink of defeat, with only one heart's worth of health remaining. According to the poster, they were simply "messing around" with the Lynel during the intense battle.

For players looking for alternative combat strategies using Ascend in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, there are other mini-bosses besides the one mentioned earlier that offer opportunities to ascend through them and exploit their weak points. Giant enemies like Flux Constructs and Taluses can be targeted for free damage by utilizing this technique. It is worth noting that the trick also works on Frost and Igneo Taluses, but players must remember to neutralize their elemental effects by using Fire and Ice Fruit before attempting the ascent.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available on Nintendo Switch.
