Oh man, you're gonna love it! I've been covering that for my last several youtube videos, and it is such refreshing bonus on the main game, especially if you've played through multiple times. I just finished the Champion's Ballad stuff and got the Horse Bike for the first time, and it is CRAZY...
100% on the Revali's Gale piece, on my latest playthrough I actually beelined straight there after Great Plateau and did Vah Medoh on 3 hearts and 1.5 stamina wheels, JUST so I could have Revali's and have an easier time approaching certain enemy camps and climbing the numerous mountains in the...
100% this! When they put away their weapon and do the "matador charge attack" on all fours, if you're quick you can mount them as they slide to a stop!
I believe you can also do it if you hit them sufficiently during a Stasis+, as they get knocked down for a brief moment. I've never tried it...

I don't know why Nintendo made it be that way, but they did! Perhaps it's to reward skillful play by making it so you don't need to shatter 3-4 weapons to kill each Lynel you come across?
Uhhh... damn, well, I mean is two years still several? Guess I should have said "a couple years ago" haha!
I only found out when I was mashing the Lynel on master mode, but that was after I'd beaten 90% of the game so it felt like a crazy revelation. And two years is a lot of time to game, so...
Hey! It's actually one of the single largest challenges in the game. Did you know that you don't lose weapon durability when you attack Lynel while mounted? I found that out several years ago when I decided to kill it.... BEFORE getting the glider. The only weapon I had that was any good was the...
I'm just coming back to it after a 2-year hiatus while my girlfriend played the game. She took it before any of the DLC (except the beginning area chests of course) had been released, so I'm excited to play with a teleportable horse, master cycle, champions ballad sidequests and armor, and of...
