Haha yes, I can relate to this. Incredible work as usual, man!

Same! No matter how many times I fight them, they still terrify me to come across, haha

Yeah, when I am completing my Sheika compendium, I try to get the most cherfull picture I can take from a Bokoblin. They are one of the most cooler monsters to chill with (when you are using a mask, either Bokoblin or Majora).
About the Lynel, if you are not using any weapons, Lynel will not attack you for a while. I normally pass through them jogging, no big deal, sometimes when I feel that I can, I even take a few items around a Lynel, and I leave quickly. :P

This is UNBELIEVABLY CUTE.
