The Prince of Hyrule is a character from the backstory of The Adventure of Link. He is the son of the King of Hyrule and brother of Princess Zelda. When the king passed away, the young prince became king, but no crest appeared on his hand, but instead only inherited the incomplete crest of the Triforce. A Magician close to the young king, suggested that Princess Zelda might know something about it. They interrogated her, although she didn't say a thing. The Magician became angry and threatened her to cast a spell of eternal slumber on her, but she stubbornly refused. The Magician chanted the spell, spending all of his energy to cast it on Princess Zelda. She collapsed in that spot, and the magician died immediately afterword.
The young king regretted his mistake, and grieved for Princess Zelda and decided to place her at the altar of the North Palace, hoping that one day she will wake up. He ordered that every girl born into the Royal Family will be named Zelda, to let the tragedy never be forgotten.
