===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]]. When Link first saw [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] through the window in the [[Castle Courtyard]], he bowed to the King of Hyrule and swore allegiance to him. When Ganondorf suddenly attacked [[Hyrule Castle]], the [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]] surrendered after a short time. Zelda and [[Impa]] survived by escaping on a horse, but the King of Hyrule also survived, because when the king slumbers, so too do the sleepless waterfall, which still flows when Link is an adult, meaning the king is still alive in the future.
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.
 
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.
