You can make them friendly in a way.
1. Don't get too close.
2. Don't pull out any weapons (This means bows and your melee)
3. Stand there and back away slowly and they will leave you be.

and then you turn your back and they launch 5 shock arrows into the stratosphere to land on you from a mile away

Oh, ok

*Laughs in every lynel killed in both games 3 times over*

Only if you pull out a weapon or get too close
