Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Points Out Helpful Connection Between The Depths and Lynels

by

One enthusiastic player of “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” has discovered that all the elusive Lynels in The Depths can be found hidden underneath overground stables. This intriguing discovery quickly spread across social media, with numerous “Tears of the Kingdom” players acknowledging they had not made this connection despite investing countless hours into the game.

In the latest 3D Zelda game, The Depths may seem similar to the surface world, but they conceal numerous secrets. Nintendo carefully crafted the subterranean Hyrule to appear intimidating upon exploration; each descent represents a fresh expedition filled with unique challenges. One of the perils lurking within Tears of the Kingdom’s Depths is the possibility of encountering a stronger Lynel.

Interestingly enough, it’s been found that avoiding or locating underground Lynels isn’t much of a challenge, as every subterranean Lynel is situated near an area directly beneath one of the stable locations in ‘Tears of the Kingdom’, as pointed out by Reddit user Golurk623.

Tears of the Kingdom Doesn’t Advertise Its Lynel Distribution Logic

During their second playthrough of Tears of the Kingdom, Golurk623 pointed out an intriguing pattern in the positioning of Lynels within the Depths. Interestingly, it seems they’ve been a step ahead, as many other fans who commented on their observation admitted they wouldn’t have made that connection without help. The game doesn’t offer any hints about its Lynel distribution system, and since overworld structures don’t consistently follow patterns, it’s easy to assume the same for The Depths—or simply not give much thought to this aspect of the game design.

In Tears of the Kingdom, Lightroots in the underworld mirror the function of shrines above ground. This pattern was quickly picked up on by fans after the game’s release, meaning that those who recognize this connection will effectively make progress twice while exploring both Hyrule and The Depths.

Regarding the Lynels in the game, knowing they’re hidden underground can be beneficial – it allows you to steer clear of them early on in the game and farm them for rare resources later. The fact that their location pattern was overlooked by players for such a long time showcases the intricate detail that goes into Tears of the Kingdom, a detail that keeps fans discovering new aspects even today. This kind of discovery has been more frequent recently, as Tears of the Kingdom got an updated version with the June 2025 release of the Switch 2, encouraging players to revisit the game.
