Lynel

Where it is

From the official guides

A monster that lives near the top of Death Mountain in the Dark World. It always tries to get beside Link. Catch its fire on the Mirror Shield, then attack.

ファミコン通信編集部責任編集 ゼルダの伝説 神々のトライフォースのすべてがわかる本 (アスキー, 1992), p. 108, translated by 101Leafy

A lion-like enemy that shoots from its mouth. It is unusually tough, so it may be better to forget beating it and just get away.
