The King of Hyrule first appeared in the backstory of The Adventure of Link, and later appeared physically in A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker and The Minish Cap. Not much is known of him besides him being King.
Appearances
The Adventure of Link
The King of Hyrule is first mentioned in The Adventure of Link. He 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.
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.
Ocarina of Time
The King of Hyrule in Ocarina of Time is mentioned a few times during Link's adventure. He is the father of Princess Zelda and the sworn brother of the Goron's patriarch Darunia. When Link first saw Ganondorf through the window in the Castle Courtyard, he bowed to the King of Hyrule and swore allegiance to him, though he actually had other intentions. Even though Ganon destroyed Hyrule Castle and its surroundings, it is alluded that the King of Hyrule is alive during the time Link is an adult, as a meaning inscribed on a platform just outside Zora's Domain reads: The flow of this waterfall serves the King of Hyrule. When the King slumbers, so too do these falls. This suggests that the King of Hyrule is alive, otherwise, the sleepless waterfall would almost be dormant, so he must have fled before Ganon seized Hyrule.
The Wind Waker

In The Wind Waker, the King takes on a new form as the King of Red Lions, Link's talking boat companion.
The Minish Cap
In The Minish Cap, the king of Hyrule is imprisoned and impersonated by the evil sorcerer Vaati, until being rescued by Link. Additionally, the phantom of a past king makes an appearance in order to impart prophecy and counsel to Link.
