The '''King of Hyrule''' is a recurring character in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. He was introduced in the backstory of ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', and first appeared physically in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. | |||
==''The Adventure of Link''== | |||
The King of Hyrule ruled the kingdom of [[Hyrule]] with the power of the united [[Triforce]]; however, anticipating his death and deciding [[Prince of Hyrule|his son]] was 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. | |||
==''A Link to the Past''== | |||
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 | The King is later resurrected when [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]] wishes Hyrule to be healed at the end of the game. | ||
==The | ==''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 (Ocarina of Time)|Princess Zelda]] and the sworn brother of the [[Goron]]'s patriarch [[Darunia]]. The king is first mentioned during [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|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. | |||

In ''The Wind Waker'', the King takes on a new form as the [[King of Red Lions]], [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]]'s talking boat companion.

{{Main|King Daltus}} | |||
In ''The Minish Cap'', the King of Hyrule is imprisoned and impersonated by the evil sorcerer [[Vaati]], until being rescued by [[Link (The Minish Cap)|Link]]. Additionally, the [[King Gustaf|phantom of a past king]] makes an appearance in order to impart prophecy and counsel to Link. | |||

{{Main|King Rhoam}} | |||

King Rhoam reveals his true self after Link has completed the first four [[Shrine of Trials|Shrines]] and is ready to leave the Great Plateau. 100 years prior to the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', King Rhoam lost his life during the [[Great Calamity]], alongside the four [[Champion]]s. King Rhoam appears in a number of [[Recovered Memory|Memories]], focusing on his relationship with [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)|his daughter]], that Link finds during the [[Captured Memories]] main quest. | |||
