[edit] Appearances
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
[edit] Link: The Faces of Evil
King Harkinian appears in the beginning and ending FMVs in the game. Prior to receiving Gwonam's prophecy, he explains to Link, who is bored due to the absence of any battles, that "this peace is what all true warriors strive for".
[edit] Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon
In the introduction sequence, Harkinian travels to Hyrule to help his cousin, Duke Onkled, whose lands of Gamelon are being attacked by the evil forces of Ganon. After a month of absence, Princess Zelda, Harkinian's daughter, decides to go to Gamelon to find her father.
It is later revealed that Onkled betrayed his cousin and had him imprisoned, and sided with Ganon in exchange of power. Link was sealed into a mirror by Ganon with the use of magic. Zelda then manages to free both her father and Link, and Onkled is made to "scrub all the floors in Hyrule".
