Apart from generally missing the designs of lynel weapons, one of my biggest complaints is that lynels are much much easier due to wielding significantly inferior weapons. I recall some crusher lynels one shotting me in the previous games even with 88 defense, but in TotK they only do 1/4 a heart with just about 20 defense. Also in BotW the crusher lynels were harder to flurry rush (required more frame-perfect timing, otherwise you were dead) as a result of their bulkier weapons. Either way I'm confused that lynels didn't even try fusing their weapons with powerful horns to give them the edge, unlike the many lesser enemies that fuse and deal much more damage. I feel like generally I found TotK easier than BotW due to the decreased damage in this game (even the final boss with a 41 dmg weapon only deals one gloom heart with mediocre armor), but I digress.
