The King of Hyrule ruled the kingdom of [[Hyrule]] with the power of the united [[Triforce]]; however, anticipating his death and deciding his son not worthy of succession to possess the complete Triforce, he split the artifact into three parts. The wisdom and power portions remained in Hyrule whereas the [[Triforce of Courage]] was locked in the [[Great Palace]] to be obtained by the hero after numerous trails of endurance.

==''Ocarina of Time''==
==''Ocarina of Time''==
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.

Once Link has collected all three [[Spiritual Stones]], Ganondorf suddenly attacks [[Hyrule Castle]], driving Zelda and Impa into hiding, with the castle surrendering a short time afterward. It is unknown what became of the king as a result of this or whether he survived into Link's adulthood.
