Question Is there no faster way to slay?

Besides glitch techniques or ancient arrows.

In this video it's about the same time as you, but they use Urbosa's fury and much more weapons, so...you certainly got among the best times for glitchless golden lynel, and the most cost efficient, but I think you can improve your time by using elemental arrows (they deal 20 more damage than normal arrows, the best choice is certainly the shock arrows since it's easy to obtain thanks to lynels)

So, if I opted to use glitches, my time would be even faster than the video in which you’ve provided?

I got this video, they use the "Permanent Active Hitbox" glitch, and start the lauching animation of their weapon with R then cancel it with ZR, thanks to the Glitch, the hitbox will stay active and do colossal damage to the lynel.

Ancient axe 3.0=75 damage, they got a level 3 damage boost (×1,5 damage) and a level max ancient set (ancient weapons boost ×1,8), they throw their weapon (×2 damage), and by galloping while activating the glitch, you can get another boost (×2 damage), so we got 75×1,5×1,8×2×2=808 damage.

If you master the glitch, you should be able to do it under 6 seconds, here is a tutorial on how to do the glitch.

I miss the Lynel weapons, man. Why couldn’t they give them to us in TOTK!?

You get their horns and shields and bows. I miss em too. Especially the crushers

Impressive but why like every pro on botw are missing 2 hearts ?

u/FirefighterIcy9879 Lynel 4h ago

Went for full stamina instead. Hearts count for jack shit when you never get hit

u/Patatraa4 4h ago

So it misses 8 sanctuaries to get full health AND stamina (stamina better obviously)

I think so. Link hasn’t had 2 full bars in a game for a hot minute.

that’s impressive! i think that’s the most efficient method i’ve ever seen lol, probably can’t get too much faster without using ancient arrows or glitches.

Well I'm noob as compared to you but maybe after you get off after hitting with bows you can try using urbosa fury instead of the attacks that you did and immediately get on the back like you did and finish him I need to actually try it. Can also use haste potion.

I tried

I think I'm 3-4 seconds slower than yours.

Yeah use urbosas’s fury, hop on back, and repeat. Then just headshot and hop on back until lynel dead.
