What You'll Learn
Sneak around the Lynel, collecting arrows from the environment
Sneaking around the Lynel is a good strategy, especially if you are a beginner or low-levelled player. You can collect the arrows you need from the environment—from the trees, the ground, and the rocks—without disturbing the Lynel.
The Lynel is an incredibly powerful foe, and you may not have the weapons needed to defeat it. It has a ton of health and will use its sword to slash at you or use its sword and shield to double-slash at you. It will also frequently charge at you. Its attacks are scripted, and it only uses a few of them, so it can be a good enemy to practice your combat skills on.
If you do want to fight the Lynel, you can improve your ability to sneak by wearing the Sheika Armor set, which can be found in Kakariko Village. If all pieces are upgraded twice, it also grants a significant movement speed increase at night, making it worth attempting to kill a Lynel in the evening. You can also try to sneak attack the Lynel, although it can be hard not to be spotted. Another option is to buy a Lynel Mask, which will temporarily stop them from attacking you on sight.
If you decide to fight the Lynel, make sure you have a lot of food, as its attacks do 2 3/4 hearts. You can also collect as many regular arrows as you can before the fight. While the Lynel is resting up to charge at you, shoot it in the face, then mount it and hit it with your best sword over and over.

Fight the Lynel with a sword and shield
Fighting a Lynel is no easy feat, and players should be prepared for a tough battle. It is entirely optional to fight a Lynel, and players can simply sneak around and collect the arrows they need. However, for those who want to take on the challenge, here is a guide on how to fight a Lynel with a sword and shield.
Firstly, players should ensure they have the right equipment. This includes a one-handed sword, a durable shield, and light gear such as the Soldier's armour. Two-handed weapons and heavy armour will weigh players down, making it difficult to avoid the Lynel's powerful attacks. It is also recommended to bring multiple swords, as at least one is likely to break during the fight. Stock up on healing meals and consumables that boost strength, defence, and hearts.
Next, players should practice their combat skills. This includes mastering the Perfect Parry, which involves holding down ZL to target the opponent while holding a shield, then pressing A as the enemy is about to strike. If timed right, this will stun the Lynel, allowing players to make a counterattack. Players should also get good at backstep dodging and shield countering.
When facing the Lynel, it is important to close the distance quickly to avoid getting hit by its arrows. Get up close and freeze the Lynel using Stasis+, then shoot it in the face with an arrow. The Lynel will likely charge frequently, so be prepared to dodge and counter. When the Lynel jumps, get out of the way to avoid a sweeping blow or use your shield to block. If the Lynel conjures fire magic, try to freeze it with Ice Arrows or stasis.
Finally, be patient and persistent. The Lynel has a ton of health, and the fight can be long and wearing. Don't be discouraged if you die; simply reload your save and try again. With enough practice and preparation, you'll be able to take down the Lynel and claim its powerful rewards.

Buy shock arrows from vendors
If you are looking to buy shock arrows, there are several vendors you can visit. One of them is in Gerudo Town, in the southwest corner of the map. Once you have the outfit that lets you enter the city, stroll up to the bazaar and look for a merchant dealing in arrows on the western side of the market. She offers lightning arrows as well, and asks for 140 rupees for a bundle of 10. If you are having cash issues, be sure to check out a rupee farming guide.
If you haven't reached this point in the game yet, you can also find shock arrows in Lurelin Town's Fish Market, the Kara Kara Bazaar on the road to Gerudo Town, or the General Shoppe in Korok Forest. While the Fish Market and General Shoppe will always have multiple shock arrows available, the Kara Kara Bazaar will only have one of each available at a time. This makes it harder to find multiple arrows of a specific type needed for any given situation, but it does also allow the player to always have a place to buy at least one.
You can also buy shock arrows in the Lost Woods, Tarrey Town, and Lurelin Village.

Use Flurry Rush to deal damage
In the game *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild*, players can use the ability Flurry Rush to deal damage to enemies. Flurry Rush is an extension of the dodge ability, and can be performed immediately after executing a Perfect Dodge. To execute a Perfect Dodge, the player must perform a backflip or side-hop right before an enemy attack hits them. This causes time to slow down, allowing the player to perform multiple hits in quick succession with their weapon in a short period of time.
Flurry Rush can be used to deal damage to the electric arrow Zora monster, Lynel, in *Breath of the Wild*. Lynel is an optional boss fight, and players can choose to sneak around and grab the arrows they need without engaging in combat. However, if players do choose to fight Lynel, they can use Flurry Rush to deal damage. Lynel has a ton of health and will use its sword to slash at the player or use its sword and shield to double-slash. These attacks can be easily dodged using a backflip to activate Flurry Rush and deal damage. Lynel will also frequently charge at the player. To avoid this attack, players can use a backflip or side-hop at the last moment before getting hit, and then use a spear to stab Lynel.
It is important to note that while using Flurry Rush, the player is still vulnerable to attacks from other enemies or enemies with explosive attacks, such as Lynel. If the player is attacked while performing Flurry Rush, the ability will end. Additionally, if the weapon being used during Flurry Rush breaks, the ability will also end.

Collect arrows from Zora's Domain
In the game *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild*, players can collect arrows from Zora's Domain. To do this, you must first visit Shatterback Point on Ploymus Mountain, which is located in Zora's Domain. This is where you will find the Lynel, a powerful foe that wields shock arrows.
Fighting the Lynel is entirely optional, but if you choose to do so, come prepared with a lot of food, as its attacks can do 2 3/4 hearts of damage. It is also recommended to have a 50-power sword, as this will help you defeat the Lynel more quickly. During the fight, shoot it in the face when it is resting, then mount it and hit it with your sword.
If you struggle with the fight, you can obtain shock arrows by sneaking around the Lynel's lair and stealing them from the rocks, trees, and the ground. You can also buy shock arrows from vendors in Gerudo Town, located in the southwest corner of the map.
Another way to collect arrows in Zora's Domain is to farm the green Lizalfos, which carry 5x arrow bundles. This can be done on the road to Zora's Domain.
