Breath of the Wild BotW's Weapon and Monster Strength

[el :BeoWolf:]

In Breath of the Wild monsters have numerically displayed Health Points while Link only has hearts. I wondered what that translated to, and as it turns out 1/4 of a heart is equal to one hp meaning Link has a maximum of 120 hp. This made me wonder what other monsters had going on. Of course we know their hp simply by wearing the champion's tunic, but what about the stats we don't see? What is their natural attack power, or how much defense they have? Also knowing the master sword has 30 attack, can we use this to translate to other games where it appears?

Red Bokoblin HP:13 ATK:0 DEF:0

Spoiler

I started with the basics; fighting a red bokoblin naked, for science. They have 13HP but no natural strength or defense. When one attacks Link wielding a boko club it deals 4 damage, or one heart as expected. Then I wear a piece of armor that has 3 def, so the bokoblin only did 1 damage, or 1/4 heart.

Now I put on another 3 def piece of armor though I still only receive 1 damage.
Finally I put on an armor set with a total of 15 def and still take 1 damage.
So it seems the minimum damage Link takes is one regardless of defense, or elixirs.

White Maned Lynel HP:4000 ATK:~31 DEF:0

Spoiler

I decided to move up to something tougher; a white maned lynel.
They have 4000hp or a whopping 1000 heart containers. Though they seem to have no defense as hitting it with the master sword did the normal 30 damage. This particular lynels was wielding a mighty lynel spear and a Savage Lynel Bow. Hitting me with its' various attacks hurts like a mother******. It's fire breath attack does 7 damage regardless of distance, except one time it did 3 for some reason.
Its' other attacks were all pretty consistent dealing 46-51 damage. Though at one point it's charge attack did 65 and the fire arrows doing about the same. This leads me to believe this particular breed of lynels has a natural power of 31 or so

This is what I've gotten so far, and I'm kind of excited to see what exactly the other enemies have.
I can also conclude the damage calculation is a simple atk-def=damage type of formula.
