Today, I wanted to share with you a story I wrote after an epic showdown I had in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

I love Breath of the Wild so much that I played over 200 hours, beat it twice, and I still wanted more from it.

Therefore, I wrote a tale to share with fellow Zelda fans like myself so the journey could continue on.

The Inspiration

This story was inspired by my encounter with a Silver Lynel.

It’s a challenging and ferocious foe from my The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild playthrough.

Read on for how this intense battle went down.

Enjoy the story!

“The Silver Lynel”

by WallyGX

Paralyzed by the beast’s attack, Link wondered why he wandered into the Coliseum Ruins in the first place.

But he would not have much time to contemplate such matters.

The horned creature roared, preparing a fatal blow that would finish the grounded Hero of Time with ruthless aggression.

~Moments Earlier~

The Coliseum Ruins came into view when Link made yet another successful paragliding trip.

He climbed the rocks and made it to solid ground in hopes of finding a Korok, a rare weapon, or something special.

But when he rounded the corner, something in the distance saw him before he saw it.

Link stood still as he made out the silhouette at the far end of the dilapidated coliseum.

His heart skipped a beat.

It was the most dangerous of all creatures:

A Silver Lynel. A horned beast with the strength of ten giants without an ounce of fear in its muscular, scarred body.

A single blow from the creature would mean the end for any normal being.

But Link, no ordinary man, stood without fear.

He charged forward with his bow drawn, hoping to cause as much damage with regular arrows before the creature could do the same to him.

The hero moved closer and took aim at the beast’s weak point: The center of the Lynel’s head.

This, however, only served to anger the Lynel into drawing its glowing blade.

Link withdrew from close quarter combat and unleashed a flurry of bomb arrows at the monster as fast as his hands could let the arrows fly.

Explosions burst in the sky like a barrage of fireworks.

And the explosions engulfed the beast as it flailed about in a mixture of pain and disbelief.

Flames roared, explosions occurred, and yet, the battle raged on. But not without repercussions.

The visibly shaken hero fell to a knee in exhaustion.

His horned foe somehow shook away the dying flames from its body to regain composure.

The visibly damaged Lynel charged at Link with its blade arched in the air in preparation of cutting the hero in half.

In mid gallop, the monster arched its chest outward with its arms at its side and let out a deafening roar.

Paralyzed by the beast’s attack, Link wondered why he wandered into the Coliseum Ruins in the first place.

But he would not have much time to contemplate such matters.

The horned creature roared again, as it prepared a fatal blow that would finish the grounded Hero of Time with ruthless aggression.

Link would not be finished so easily, engaging in a variety of attacks as a last resort.

A swing of a large blade . . .

. . . and a direct arrow shot at the closest of range.

Link’s gut, though, told him the fight was far from over.

The battle waged during the darkest of night, into the early morning, and to noon of the next day.

The sun that blanketed the rest of Hyrule now shined a spotlight on the two combatants locked in mortal combat.

But Link ignored the tiredness that pulled at his limbs.

Instead, he used his skills and dodged the beast’s blade and countered with even more strikes of his sword.

And eventually . . .

 . . . eventually . . .

 . . . the beast stopped moving . . .

 . . . engulfed by nothingness . . .

. . . and the Hero of Time stood victorious.

Although he did not find a Korok in the Coliseum Ruins on this day, he did find treasure and an epic encounter with a Silver Lynel.

But his adventure was only beginning.

A mysterious Coliseum Ruins stood in front of Link and the rest of Hyrule waited to be explored.
