King of Hyrule: Difference between revisions

}}

When Hyrule is struck by misfortune, the King of Hyrule offers a reward to anyone who can solve the kingdom's problems. [[Agahnim]] steps forth, assumes role of chief adviser, brainwashes the soldiers, and kills the King of Hyrule.

The King is later resurrected when [[Link]] wishes Hyrule to be healed at the end of the game.

The King of Hyrule in ''Ocarina of Time'' is never actually seen in-game, so his physical appearance is unknown. He is the father of [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] and the sworn brother of the [[Goron]]'s patriarch [[Darunia]]. The king is first mentioned during Link's introduction to Zelda; she mentions telling her father about the prophetic dream she had as they spy on [[Ganon]]dorf bowing to him. It is the king's disbelief in her dream that drives Zelda to enlist Link's help and stop Ganondorf's plans in secret.

Upon being returned to his childhood at the end of the game, Link revisits Hyrule Castle warns the King of Hyrule of what Ganondorf has planned. His possession of the [[Triforce of Courage]] is enough to sway Zelda's father's decision, and he proceeds to arrange for Ganondorf's arrest so that he can be tried and [[Ganondorf's Execution|executed]] for his crimes.
