Harkinian is one of the kings who have ruled Hyrule. He appears in the videogames Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon, as well as The Legend of Zelda (TV series) and the Legend of Zelda Valiant Comics. In the first game he doesn't play a major role. In The Wand of Gamelon he leaves Hyrule to help his cousin, Duke Onkled, whose lands of Gamelon are being attacked by the evil forces of Ganon. After a month of absence, Princess Zelda, Harkinian's daughter, decides to go to Gamelon to find her father. It is later revealed that Onkled betrayed his cousin, had him imprisoned, and sided with Ganon in exchange of power. Link was sealed into a mirror by Ganon with the use of magic. Zelda then manages to free both her father and Link, and Onkled is made to "scrub all the floors in Hyrule".

King Harkinian is, along with the Faces of Evil/Wand of Gamelon incarnations of Link and Zelda, popularly used as a character in Youtube Poop videos on Youtube, and many of his lines, such as "MAH BOI", are particularly popular in these videos.
