There is a good government in Hyrule, it just doesn't affect Link, therefore there is no need to put it in.

wow i really love how people are getting into the world of zelda, and come to think about it, there really is not explanation for why the burden is always on the king or princesses shoulders!!

I wouldn't say more than half are into theorizing, but still a healthy percentage. I'm not into theorizing much, but I still think there is a TON to find outside of just the actual gameplay. Zelda sites show that with sites dedicated strictly to fan fiction, artwork, comic strips, etc… Me personally, I'm into more obscure material such as old strategy guides, old publications, commercials, etc… There's always something for a Zelda fan.

Maybe the reason why she's always princess is because she's engaged, married, or seeing someone who is not in the royal family. So she has to give up her royal status.

I decided to just go with the notion that the King is old and nearly dead, off in his bed chambers somewhere. That would probably mean he would be out of the way in about every single game, but…

This is one of the flaws in the Zelda games, and I'm actually glad this was brought up. Another thing to add to the list of things the Zelda series needs.

well in the defense of the game designers, the drawings take a good while before the animations. the game designers probably thought that the game was good enough or even better if there wasn't an over-organized government so that way the hero would have more to do. also, if there was a large government like that, it would mean much more work for the game designers and probably a few more months of waiting before the game comes out.

i do agree that the gameplay comes first. but in role-playing games such as the zelda games, the story would have to come as a very important part. if you were just going around from one dungeon to the next not knowing the story, you would probably not like the game very much at all. of course, this is just my opinion. feel free to disagree.

Yes, The Legend of Zelda is merely a game "and nothing more", a common thing I've seen people state. More than half of Zelda's fanbase is made up of theorists who wish too look further than the in bounds of game. The games are fun in all, but sometimes it brings better pleasure in trying to create a larger world outside of the titles themselves. Whether or not you care about theorizing, does not mean other will, and I think those sort of comments should be kept to yourself.

Most cases occur when Zelda is a kid. A lot of times when such a thing happens in a monarchy, a "regent" (fancy word for guy who isn't a royal being in charge) is there to ensure stability until the rightful heir is old enough. The prince and in this case princess isn't King or Queen by the death of their parent but by coronation. You have to put the crown on their head. What you brought up about Chancellor isn't really important as there are many names for people who come on as adviser to the crown. As for cabinets and checks and balances, that simply doesn't exist in a monarchy. Did you miss the prefix mon-? As in singular, one.

I beileve that as long as the games are good, it doesn't need to make sense it should just be enjoyable and fit into the gameplay!

HYRULE'S GOVERNMENT IS NOT GOOD

Im pretty sure that in Ocarina of Time there was a king, because as a kid you watch ganondorf kneel before someone and then when zelda flees Ganondorf takes over as king
