Tears of The Kingdom has been out for quite a while now and it has proved extremely popular among Zelda fans, both old and new.

With such an extensive world to explore and enemies to defeat, players will eventually run into one of the more powerful beasts in the game – the Silver Lynel. Defeating this creature will, however, prove very rewarding.

What Are Silver Lynel Horns And What Are They Used For?

The Silver Lynel Horn is an item dropped after defeating the Silver Lynel. While there are other Lynel types, such as the Red-maned Lynel, the Blue-Maned Lynel, or the White-Maned Lynel. The Silver Lynel is the strongest mini-boss in this category and will therefore have the best drops.

There are two types of Silver Lynel Horns that it will drop once defeated, the Silver Lynel Mace Horn and the Silver Lynel Saber Horn. The Silver Lynel will give the player other powerful drops as well, such as the Savage Lynel Bow.

The Silver Lynel Horns are best utilized as a fuse weapon as it increases the damage output greatly, offering 51 fuse attack power for the Mace one, and 55 for the Saber. They are also great when added to elixirs and, sometimes, are also needed to upgrade armor, such as the Ancient Hero’s Aspect Armor.

How To Get Silver Lynel Horns In Tears Of The Kingdom

To get Silver Lynel Horns, the player has to defeat Silver Lynels, which can be very challenging as Lynels are powerful mini bosses that require powerful weapons and good skills to take down.

Silver Lynels are not common creatures throughout Hyrule. To have a better chance of encountering one, the player has to defeat weaker Lynels before getting to it and wait for the Blood Moon for a stronger Lynel to spawn, which means the player has to first defeat a White Lynel before hoping to encounter a silver one.

To guarantee meeting a Silver Lynel, the player can go into the Colosseum located in the Depth. Players can use Puffshrooms to make their fight easier, but it will still require them to have fairly strong weapons.
