The Royal Family of Hyrule was established following the [[Zelda Timeline#Era of Chaos|Era of Chaos]], many years after the events of {{SS}}. Descended from the Goddess [[Hylia]], who was reborn as the first incarnation of [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]], the Royal Family consists of numerous kings and queens, a [[Prince of Hyrule]] and many princesses who share the title of Princess Zelda (some of which have also become queen). Keeping a close contact with the other leaders and races within the Kingdom of [[Hyrule]], they rule over the land with the most prominent authority. | ||

Others things passed down within the family include the legend of the [[Sacred Realm]] and the [[Minish|Picori]]. They maintain contact with the sky beings known as the [[Oocca]], who are said to have helped in the early development of Hyrule, assisting in the construction of the {{Term|OoT|Temple of Time|link}} to protect the entrance to the Sacred Realm, the family watching over the temple until it falls into ruin. They also held [[Picori Blade]] in their possession between the {{Term|TMC|Minish Legend|link}} and the events of {{TMC}}, sponsoring a yearly sword-fighting tournament in which the winner was granted permission to touch the sword in a ceremony outside of [[Hyrule Castle]]. | ||
Members of the Royal Family live within the various incarnations of Hyrule Castle and are known to be buried within [[Hyrule Castle Graveyard]] and a [[Royal Tomb]] located in a [[Kakariko Village Graveyard|graveyard]] behind [[Kakariko Village]]. For many generations, they have been protected by their ancestor's chosen guardians: the mysterious [[Sheikah]] tribe. Their crest is a newer variation of the [[Goddess Crest]] used to represent the goddess [[Hylia]]. The crest depicts a [[Loftwing]], alone the symbol of Skyloft, and the sacred relic of the [[Golden Goddesses]]: the [[Triforce]]. | Members of the Royal Family live within the various incarnations of Hyrule Castle and are known to be buried within [[Hyrule Castle Graveyard]] and a [[Royal Tomb]] located in a [[Kakariko Village Graveyard|graveyard]] behind [[Kakariko Village]].

Having defeated the Hero of Time, Ganondorf now possessed the full Triforce. He was subsequently sealed within the [[Dark World]] by Zelda and the other awakened sages, taking the Triforce with him. During a short period of peace, various people began to enter the corrupted Sacred Realm, not to return. Evil began to flow forth from the seal, and so the King of Hyrule ordered [[Sage#A Link to the Past|Seven Sages]] to close the entrance to the realm once more.

A mysterious wizard known as [[Agahnim]] soon arrived and ended those troubles with his sorcery, being declared a hero by the King and given the position to be his chief advisor. Agahnim used this position as a means to brainwash the soldiers of Hyrule and take over Hyrule Castle. He sent the descendants of the Seven Sages from the Imprisoning War into the Dark Wold, the last being the current Princess Zelda. During this time, he killed the King of Hyrule, reducing him to a skeleton. He is later revealed to be a pawn of [[Ganon]], who once again plans to take over the kingdom.
