The Royal Family of Hyrule, often shortened to the Royal Family, is the governing monarch family of Hyrule, typically consisting of a reigning male sovereign, a princess traditionally named Zelda, and, sometimes, a prince. During the Imprisoning War, the royal family was assassinated, save for Zelda, who would later stay undercover using the alias Sheik. The return of Ganon years later would lead to the Great Flood and the family's loss of power. The Zelda bloodline would continue, and King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule, head of the family, would live on. It is heavily implied that they lived on as Tetra's pirate crew after the Great Flood. Portraits in Hyrule Castle shown in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, as shown on this page, show family members very similar to the pirates of Tetra's crew. Tetra's mother, obviously a pirate, was definitely a royal descendant.

Until the second Zelda game, the family would continually flourish until an internal power struggle over the Triforce would lead to Zelda forever in a coma, and the rest of the family ashamed and scattered.

[edit] Trivia

  • A painting found in Hyrule Castle from The Wind Waker portrays members of the former royal family. Interestingly, the men standing by princess Zelda strongly resemble Tetra's pirate crew, suggesting that all of Tetra's pirates are descended from the Royal Family.
