[edit] Biography

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

It is revealed that in his youth, King Daltus fought to a draw with Smith during the Picori Festival Tournament.

During the events of The Minish Cap, King Daltus' castle is taken over by Vaati and transformed into Dark Hyrule Castle. Early in the game, he becomes possessed by Vaati, and sends the castle guards out to find the Light Force. Guards are also placed at the castle entrance and garden, preventing entrance early in the game. Daltus is saved by Link after being turned to stone by Vaati. He thinks that Link is a brave and noble hero.
