Dorephan

is a recurring character in. He is the ruler of the Series: and, by the time of, has been for up to 200 years.

BotW: is the reigning monarch of BotW:. In addition to this, he is the father of BotW: and BotW:. He presides over the BotW: from the BotW:. He is a historian, collecting stories about BotW: that have been passed down in the BotW: royal family. As the king of the NaN Zoras, it is his job to watch over the BotW: level of the BotW:.

BotW: greatly cherished his daughter BotW:. As the threat of BotW: rose, he eventually gave her permission to pilot BotW:, though he made her promise to return to him safely. Following the BotW:, he grew to regret allowing her to join the fight against BotW:. Since then, he has prayed every day that BotW:'s soul will rest in peace.

According to the BotW:, a BotW: approached BotW: through BotW: approximately 100 years after BotW: became its ruler. When the BotW: soldiers were unable to stop the BotW:, BotW: decided to face it on his own. He threw the BotW: into a ravine and destroyed it, which increased the trust and respect his citizens had for him. He still has a scar on his forehead from this encounter.

The NaN Stone Monuments scattered throughout the BotW: were originally a single monument commissioned by BotW:. However, due to the length of the writing he gave to the stonemason, the commission was split among seven BotW:. Three additional BotW: were crafted, one of which honors the achievements of BotW:.

After BotW: follows BotW: to BotW: during the "BotW:" BotW:, BotW: beckons BotW: to meet BotW:. In the BotW:, BotW: will find BotW: and BotW:, the former of whom identifies BotW: as the BotW: that BotW: has recruited. He congratulate BotW: for being able to make it to the BotW:. He introduces himself as the ruler of the NaN Zoras. Upon noticing the BotW:, BotW: is able to recognize BotW: as the BotW: BotW:.

BotW: informs BotW: that they have met many times before. Thinking back to such memories brings a wave of nostalgia upon him. Having heard a rumor that BotW: fell in battle, BotW: is relieved to see that he has survived. Despite how BotW: responds to him, BotW: will realize that BotW: has lost his memories.

Upon hearing this, BotW: asks BotW: if he remembers his daughter, BotW:. He is shocked to hear that BotW: is unable to recall her, since the two of them were close friends. He encourages BotW: to look upon BotW: in the BotW: in an attempt to jog his memory. BotW: hopes that BotW:'s memory will eventually return. BotW: interjects, as he believes discussing his sister is not helping matters. BotW: agrees, though he points out how remarkable it is that BotW: was able to bring a BotW: to BotW: without realizing it.

While he recognizes that BotW: has faced many trials, BotW: still asks him to hear his request. BotW: is in danger because of BotW:, and the NaN Zoras are unable to stop it without his help. BotW: is opposed to this, as he is unwilling to accept the assistance of a BotW:. Both BotW: and BotW: silence him, as they already came to the decision to rely on a trustworthy BotW:. BotW: vouches for BotW:'s character and explains all of BotW: will be doomed if they do not act. In this scenario, he believes that NaN Zoras and the NaN Hylians should put their differences aside and work together. BotW: accuses the NaN Hylians of abusing the power of the ancient BotW:, and he blames them for BotW:'s death.

BotW: pauses, but he then explains to BotW: that BotW: is capable of generating an endless supply of BotW:. The heavy BotW: in the area has been caused by the BotW: spouting BotW: into the air. While the NaN Zoras are able to breath both BotW: and air, BotW: worries that the BotW: will soon overflow, which could damage both BotW: and the BotW: settlements downstream of the BotW:. They are interrupted by the sound of BotW: crying out.

Afterwards, BotW: recalls that BotW: studied the NaN Divine Beasts before the BotW:. Her research indicates that the orbs of BotW:'s shoulders are mechanisms that control the BotW: it generates, but they require BotW: to work. He believes that the orbs are out of control since there is no BotW: to stop them. BotW: asks BotW: to use NaN Shock Arrows on the orbs so they will start working again, which will end BotW:'s rampage. BotW: is surprised to hear that BotW: is still alive and instructed BotW: to appease the NaN Divine Beasts. He is in awe that both she and BotW: have been alive since the BotW:.

Though they are unable to change what happened 100 years ago, BotW: believes that by reclaiming the NaN Divine Beasts, they will be of help in sealing BotW:. Once BotW: agrees to appease BotW: alongside BotW:, BotW: thanks him for his help. Since they have the same goals, he states that their meeting was destiny. As a show of faith, BotW: gives BotW: the BotW:. He explains that if BotW: wears this BotW:, he will be able to swim up NaN Waterfalls like a BotW: would.

BotW: disagrees with this decision, as BotW: herself made the BotW: for her future husband. In anger, BotW: storms out of the BotW:. BotW: comments that BotW: does not easily change his mind. He asks for BotW:'s understanding, explaining that BotW: was BotW:'s tutor, and therefore she meant a lot to him. Ever since she was defeated during the BotW:, BotW: has hated NaN Hylians. He hopes that BotW: will be able to forgive BotW:'s rudeness.

Now that BotW: is gone, BotW: reveals that he tasked him with finding the NaN Shock Arrows they need in order to face BotW:, but he left without telling them where they are. When BotW: leaves to talk with BotW:, BotW: realizes that he is going to share the truth with him. He directs BotW: to the BotW:, where he urges BotW: to try to speak with BotW:. After BotW: finishes speaking, the "BotW:" BotW: will begin.

If BotW: speaks to BotW: after gaining the "BotW:" BotW:, he instructs BotW: to meet with BotW: at the BotW: to face BotW:. He then asks if BotW: has regained any memories of BotW:. If BotW: responds that he has, BotW: will be overjoyed. If BotW: claims to remember only a little, BotW: will be relieved.

BotW: recounts that he was proud when BotW: was chosen to be a BotW:, but he was also scared. Due to how quickly everything happened during the BotW:, he feels as though he should have tried harder to keep BotW: away from danger. If BotW: apologizes, BotW: tells him not to do so, as the fault lies with BotW:. If BotW: asks what happened to BotW:, BotW: reveals that he does not know. He continues, explaining that BotW: trapped the NaN Championss within their NaN Divine Beasts. As none of the NaN Championss have returned, BotW: is pained when he thinks of what may have happened to them. He believes that all he can do is pray, though he is aware that it is unlikely they would have survived. When spoken to again, he wonders what happened to BotW: and the rest of the NaN Championss in their NaN Divine Beasts, hoping that they could miraculously still be alive.

Once BotW: has been calmed, all of the NaN Zoras will gather in the BotW: in front of BotW:. He congratulates BotW: for surviving the dangers inside the BotW:, and he reveals that he has been waiting for him to return. He comments that the BotW: plaguing BotW: has finally subsided, as has the threat to BotW:. He states that BotW: has successfully averted the danger of a flood running through BotW:. To reward him, BotW: allows BotW: to take the contents of a nearby BotW:, which he explains was once a belonging cherished by BotW:, as a token of their friendship. Inside the BotW:, BotW: will find the BotW:.

If the BotW: is not already in BotW:'s possession, BotW: will acknowledge its absence and state only BotW:, as the BotW: BotW:, can wield it. If BotW: does have the BotW:, BotW: wonders if he has any need for the BotW: and reminds him to take good care of the BotW:. He once again thanks BotW: on behalf of the NaN Zoras for his heroism. King Dorephan praises Sidon as well, telling him how proud he is and that he will be a worthy heir when the time comes. BotW: is humbled by this and thanks his father.

BotW: rejoices both that the BotW: has stopped and that they have reclaimed BotW: as an ally. He watches as the gathered NaN Zoras cheer and BotW: gives his thanks to BotW:. After this, the BotW: will be completed.

When BotW: speaks to BotW: after completing "BotW:", he will once again express his gratitude for saving BotW:. He claims that there is no happier place than BotW:, as everyone is celebrating. Since BotW: traveled inside BotW:, BotW: asks BotW: if they were too late to save BotW:. When BotW: reveals that he met BotW:'s spirit, BotW: asks if she said anything to him.

BotW: is saddened to confirm that BotW: has died, though he has difficulty believing there was nothing he could do to save her. However, he takes comfort in the fact that she is able to fulfill her duty as a BotW:. He proclaims that BotW: will never be alone, as it is his duty as her father to watch over her. BotW: informs BotW: that BotW: truly loved him, and he knows that she is overjoyed to be able to help him. He asks BotW: to promise him that he will never forget her. Once BotW: responds, BotW: thanks him and states that he appreciates it. If BotW: is ever in trouble, BotW: reminds him that he is always welcome in BotW:. Again, he thanks BotW: from the bottom of his heart.

While Downloadable Content Pack is active, BotW: is able to ask BotW: about BotW:. He describes BotW: as being kind since the day she was born, which she showed to both her fellow NaN Zoras and strangers. He recalls that, when BotW: first visited BotW: as a child, she loved him like a brother. However, since BotW: aged faster than she did, BotW: began to look up to him. He recounts that BotW: states that she quickly developed feelings for BotW:. Their relationship reminded BotW: of an old BotW: legend about a OoT: falling in love with a OoT:, and so he was supportive of them. He laments that the two of them were never able to live their lives together.

When BotW: asks about BotW:, BotW: explains that it was discovered recently, which has brought him much joy. He does not mind if BotW: reads it, and he is sure BotW: would forgive him if he did.

HWAoC: first appears in the "HWAoC:" HWAoC:, where HWAoC: asks HWAoC: for permission to let HWAoC: pilot the HWAoC:. However, HWAoC: refuses, saying that letting his daughter pilot the HWAoC: is too much of a risk on her life. However, a horde of monsters coming to HWAoC: is then reported by a HWAoC:, and the meeting ends.

While HWAoC: is fighting, his soldiers around him are killed. HWAoC: is attacked by an HWAoC:, at which point HWAoC: uses HWAoC:'s laser to obliterate the monster. She then destroys all the monsters coming to HWAoC: using the HWAoC:.

After the battle and seeing HWAoC:'s performance with HWAoC:, he says that he will allow HWAoC: to pilot the HWAoC:. However, he makes HWAoC: promise that she will come back alive.
