The Lynel Mask can be obtained after finding Koltin, Kilton’s brother, and completing his first quest, which requires giving him a total of 37 Bubbul Gems to unlock the Lynel Mask. This mask is the twelfth item that can be unlocked from Koltin after he sets up his traveling monster balloon stand, and it can also be bought from Kilton, the Monster Parts Merchant, who can be found at Skull Lake in Akkala at night or outside other towns at night.
