The '''Lynel''' (ライネル, ''Raineru'') is a centaur-like race found in many of the 2-D games in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. They come in a blue and red variety and are extremely difficult to kill in close combat (apparently their hide and armor is designed to withstand a lot of punishment from all forms of weaponry).
 
The Lynel has never been seen thus far in a 3-D ''The Legend of Zelda'' game.

[[Image:Lynel NES.gif]] In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', they are the most powerful enemies that roam the overworld, firing sword beams at [[Link]] in a similar fashion as he fires sword beams when he is at full health. Be wary, as their beams do one or two hearts of damage, depending which color they are. The red color causes one, and the blue inflicts two hearts of damage. Lynels are also somewhat rare; they are found in the deeper parts of Death Mountain and just south of the [[graveyard]]. One of them guards the entrance to the old man on top of the waterfall.

They fire fireballs at you, and can be quite evasive. It is recommended to use [[Spin Attack]]s against these foes, as it's easier to hit them with this attack. Lynels are only found guarding the path to [[Ganon's Tower]], and it's recommended to use the [[Mirror Shield]] to deflect their fireballs (the other shields are too weak).

Template:Character Luda is a character in Twilight Princess. She is a girl who lives in Kakariko Village with her father, Renado, and is portrayed as being very mature for her age.[1] Along with Barnes, Luda and her father are the only remaining survivors of Kakariko after Shadow Beasts raid the village. Luda becomes fast friends with the children from Ordon Village when her father takes them into their home.

Biography

Luda is first seen when Link visits the Sanctuary as a wolf and sees her along with Renado, Barnes, and the Ordon children, hiding from the Shadow Beasts. She informs Barnes that the Sanctuary cellar has been infested with several Shadow Insects.[2] Later on in the game, when Link rescues Colin, Luda and Beth take care of the boy together inside the Elde Inn. Once Link brings the injured Prince Ralis to Kakariko, the Zora prince will be taken to the inn to rest, where Luda and Beth also take care of him until his recovery. Luda and Colin will then be the only ones inside the Elde Inn from that point on.

After Prince Ralis returns to Zora's Domain, if Link talks to Luda, she will reveal that although she is happy that everyone is better now, she will be sad when the Ordon children return to their home, since Kakariko will be much lonelier.[3]

It is evident that Luda seemingly becomes good friends with Beth: during the ending credits, they can be seen hugging goodbye as Beth leaves to go back to her home.

Trivia

  • Luda's bag, boots, and the back of her jacket appear to have designs that slightly resemble the Sheikah's Eye Symbol.
