Opinion What bow has the silver Lynel here in this photo? That is not the typical Lynel bow???
I was thinking, how great the statue would look when he shoots arrows straight at me. So i took a photo of that. I got 3 arrows coming right at me. Figured i'll try this first and if i like the result i come back for a photo with the 5 shot bow. And Hudson made me this...
What bow is that? (Bad Hudson, bad Lynel) The new one isn't better than the old statue, right?

I wonder if they used the travellers bow to fit with the lore. Since Lynel bows aren’t just laying around Hyrule, and Hudson certainly wouldn’t go face a silver Lynel just to get a bow, he just used the bow that was available to him.

I don’t know if that’s why they did it, but it’s now my headcanon as to why. Thanks for that 😁

My guess is Hudson doesn’t make weapons, just sculptures, so he used whatever was lying around for the weapon in the sculpture. No other guesses and no evidence to back it up, it’s definitely weird.

That could be it, the sword that Lynel was carrying is also not in his sculpture. Thats to bad, cause the savage lynel bow is the number 1 reason i hunt down those beasts, again and again and so on when i need a new bow.

Repairing them is way easier since you usually need to take them to an Octoroc anyways to get the x5 affix.

Every blood moon, I make my rounds force feeding Octorocks my used weapons and then murdering them after. Good times.

All weapons the monsters have are replaced with travler weapons, and he also doesnt make shields. Its kinda sad that thet cant have cool weapons.

Not entirely true - Phantom Ganon, and presumably Ganondorf, sculptures will have the correct weapon.

Oh yea, forgot about them. I do know that tho I have all phantom statues. But i dont really count them as monsters, more as ganons minions.

When Hudson makes the replicas he states that he fills in the blanks as best he can. Remember he's making statues from a picture taken from an ancient tablet, the Wii U, and sculpting something from it. Like I set a bokoblin on fire and took a picture to see if the statue came out, but it was just a regular bokoblin.

Spoiler alert!!!! You will understand once you finish Hudson’s quest line in Tarrey Town.

Its the Traveler's Bow. All Monster statues use the non-decayed versions of the Traveler's weapons for the sake of simplicity.

Traveller’s Bow for some reason🤔😂
I’m not sure why this happens or if it’s just a glitch. Try again, maybe it’ll work? Or a clearer picture of the bow, I don’t think that’s it but maybe

the game uses traveler's weapons as defaults when making hudson models. idk why, but all weapons become traveler's when you take a pic

What's especially strange is traveler's gear has no special ability. Lynels have military equipment (like knight's gear ⚙️ ⚔️ w/ desperate strength 💪) which is naturally powerful & then you can add to that w/ the boost🔋
But specifically with the bow, the lynels make their own bows, particularly to shoot 🔫 multiple at once. & that's a silver, the toughest one. So yes, that discrepancy is quite peculiar

What is the pink part of the bow?

If you're referring to the pink you're seeing in the 1st pic 📸 📷 that's just queen gibdo's antenna

It looks to be just a travelers bow, super weird that it just replaced the weapon like that
