Among the many enemies players can face in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, very few are sure to test your mastery of the game like the Lynels (they will also drop some amazing items as a plus). But where can you find Lynels in the game? Now, so that you can prove yourself as the true king of the jungle, here are all Lynel locations in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
All Red, Blue, and White-Maned Lynel Locations in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK)
Overall, we were able to find eight Red-Maned Lynels, fourteen Blue-Maned Lynels, and eight White-Maned Lynels while exploring Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. You will also be able to face an extra Red, Blue, White, and two extra Silver-Maned Lynels by entering the Floating Coliseum in the Depths.

Before we start, it’s vital that we point out that although we believe this article features the most likely default spawn spots for each of the bosses, the White Lynels will also start spawning in the places previously featuring Red and Blue ones as you progress through the game’s storyline.
It’s also important to point out that although you can face two of them from the get-go in the Coliseum, Silver-Maned Lynels will only replace their Red, Blue, and White-Maned variants if you defeat the latter a set number of times. In fact, your current Lynel-colored variant will “evolve” to stronger versions when you kill enough of them after every blood moon. So if you are only seeing a specific-colored variant instead of the one you are looking for, you need to kill more and wait for a blood moon.
You can check out the exact location of all the Red. Blue, and White-Maned Lynels available outside of the Floating Coliseum in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom below, as well as how to reach them.
