Proceed with caution here ... you not only need a way to download
recursively, you also need a way to define how to limit that download so
you don't try to get the whole web by asking for one file "and all its
links". That's a new set of parameters and logic lynx doesn't have already
... and ones which will make it just that much larger.

Although it means "learning something new", using an existing tool that
does just what is wanted may be better than inventing all over again.
