Appearances

The Adventure of Link

The King of Hyrule is first mentioned in The Adventure of Link. He ruled the nation 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, 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 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 never seen in-game, but 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 was probably bowing to the King of Hyrule.

The Wind Waker

Main article: Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule

In The Wind Waker the King took on a new form as the King of Red Lions, who was Link's companion as his talking boat.
