Royal Guard

are bodyguards dedicated and designated to protect the Royal Family, particularly the king and princess of Hyrule Kingdom.

The Guards seen in the throne room in wear royal purple breeches under their plate armor. They also have more ornamental helmets with golden tips. Several guards are depicted guarding the King of Hyrule in his throne room. They can be seen through the window in the Courtyard. Ultimately they were either killed or forced to retreat when Ganondorf overthrew the castle.

Several guards protected Princess Zelda in Hyrule's last stand against the Twilight invasion. When the Shadow Beasts stormed the Throne Room, the guards were violently slain.

In, the Royal Guard wear clothing instead of armor. They wear a blue and red coat with white gloves. In one of the memories Link regains, Royal Guards are shown standing around King Rhoam during his ceremony to entitle the Champions. Several weapons and clothing of the Royal Guard are scattered around the ruined castle. There are Royal Guard's Swords, Royal Guard's Claymores, Royal Guard's Halberds, Royal Guard's Shields, Royal Guard's Bows, Royal Guard Uniform, Royal Guard Cap, and Royal Guard Boots.
