Helmaroc King
The Wind Waker
The Helmaroc King is gargantuan bird that, by the order of Ganon, flies around the Great Sea and kidnaps little girls with pointy ears, expecting to find Princess Zelda.
He is first seen capturing Tetra over Outset Island whilst being pursued by the band of pirates. Link watches a cannonball hit the bird and cause Tetra to fall into the woods atop the island. Aryll then tells Link that he must rescue the girl. After he rescues Tetra, Aryll is captured by the Helmaroc King and taken away across the sea. Link decides to leave the island and save his sister. Link ventures along with Tetra and her pirates to track down the bird. They find it at a forbidden place, the Forsaken Fortress. The Helmaroc King is sitting in a nest at the very top. Link is fired out of a cannon to sneak into the Fortress. After exploring around, he then enters the central tower where the bird flies in unexpectedly and takes Link to its master, Ganon. The Helmaroc King then throws Link out to sea.
Link later returns to the Forsaken Fortress to rescue his sister. Link faces off against the bird, killing it atop the Fortress's Tower.
Four Swords Adventures
The Helmaroc King also appears as the boss of The Mountain Path stage in the Death Mountain level. The gigantic bird had been terrorizing the Gorons that live on the mountain and had lived on top for quite some time. After the Links reached the top of the mountain they used Bombs in combination with the Magic Hammer to defeat the bird and move on to the Tower of Flames.
