Context for those who haven't played:
> or try to rodeo a Lynel
Taming one of the toughest non-boss enemies in the game, starting at 2,000 HP and ranging up to 5,000 HP.
> in my shorts
No equipped armor/clothes, meaning no reduction to damage if hit
> with three hearts
Early-stage, just-started Link. In tandem with "in my shorts," every hit from a Lynel in this condition would be a one-hit kill. Beyond that, it's implied that Link in this condition might only have access to the most primitive weapons (around 25-30 HP per hit before meal/potion bonuses), though even assuming the absolute maximum damage doable from even the best weapon with the best consumable bonus (~110 HP), you're looking at landing 19 hits on the weakest of these guys without being touched.
It's doable on speedruns by advanced players who've gotten a hang of all of the game mechanics. Fixermark's point is more that BotW gives you the option of embracing this sort of masochism should you choose, but it includes a predefined soft-path should you not.
