"The Knights took the full brunt of the fierce attack and, althougth they fought courageously, many a brave soul was lost that day."

- A Link to the Past

The Family of the Hero is a long-running bloodline of the Legendary Hero. The hero's descendants, the Knights of Hyrule, referred in several Zelda games are the protectors of the Royal Family of Hyrule. Descended from the Legendary Hero who governed the Crest of Courage, the Knights of Hyrule consists of numerous high-skilled swordsmen, captains and many soon-to-be chosen heroes who are named Link. Most of the times, they are led by the Royal Family's monarchs. Serving the Royal Family, they fight for them and their Kingdom of Hyrule for several hundreds of years.

Throughout their long history, the Family of the Hero inherited power, wisdom and courage, including every strong abilities from their ancestors, the Goddess Hylia's chosen knights, such as the Spin Attack, that were passed down within the clan of the Hylian Knights for thousands of years. They guard and protect most of the sacred objects which the Royal Family protects for many years and are willing to give up their lives on accomplishing their quests.
