Biography
Breath of the Wild
King Rhoam was once theKing of Hyrule and the father ofZelda, one century prior toLink's awakening in theShrine of Resurrection. Most of the information on King Rhoam's life is detailed inKing Rhoam's Journal and inRecovered Memories.
When his daughter was born, King Rhoam decided to name her Zelda, as is the tradition of theRoyal Family of Hyrule. Following such an occasion, he decided to begin writing down his life story.[16]
Prior to the secondGreat Calamity, a fortune teller predicted the revival ofCalamity Ganon, so King Rhoam ordered the excavations that uncovered theGuardians and theDivine Beasts.[17][18] As moreAncient Technology was revealed, King Rhoam became certain that the prediction would come true. While he was concerned that investigating the relics would take time, he noticed that Zelda displayed an interest in research.[19] During this process, King Rhoam learned about about aprincess with a sacred power and herappointed knight who was chosen by theMaster Sword.[20] With the power of the Guardians and the Divine Beasts, they were able to seal Calamity Ganon.[21]
When Zelda was six years old, King Rhoam's wife, theQueen of Hyrule, unexpectedly died.[7] Even when she was alone with King Rhoam, Zelda never cried, which King Rhoam assumed was because he taught her to be a valiant and steady princess. Witnessing her strength gave King Rhoam hope that he would be able to raise her on his own and prepare her for the future.[7] Afterwards, he pushed Zelda to unlock hersealing power, though he believed her to be held back by her grief for her mother. King Rhoam wanted to let her wait until she was ready, but since Calamity Ganon's revival was imminent, he ordered her to keep training.[22]
In preparation for Calamity Ganon's return, King Rhoam appointed four skilled individuals, known asChampions, to pilot the Divine Beasts.[23] In "The Champions' Ballad" Recovered Memory, which is exclusive toThe Champions' BalladDownloadable Content pack, King Rhoam presides over the inauguration of the Champions.[24] He officially bestows their sacred garb to them, includingLink'sChampion's Tunic.[25] He continues, explaining that the blue color is representative of the Royal Family of Hyrule, and it has been passed down for generations.[26] King Rhoam reveals that the garments were crafted by Zelda, whom he reminds of her duty as a daughter of the Royal Family.[27] He instructs her to lead the Champions and protectHyrule from Calamity Ganon.[28]
In "Father and Daughter," King Rhoam comes upon Zelda and Link on the bridge between her study and room.[29] Zelda admits to assessing the results of the Guardian experiments and begins to explain their usefulness,[30] but King Rhoam interrupts her to say that he already knows this.[31] He reminds Zelda that she has a duty as a princess that she has yet to fulfill.[32] King Rhoam asks Zelda when she is going to stop treating awakening her power as a childish game.[33] He claims that Zelda is wasting her time, as she needs to dedicate every moment to unlocking her power.[34]
King Rhoam refuses to accept any more excuses from Zelda.[35] He accuses her of running away from her duty, and as a result forbids her from researching Ancient Technology.[36] Overlooking theHyrule Castle Courtyard, King Rhoam reveals that, among the gossip mongers, she is known as an heir to aThrone of failure.[37] He informs her that it is her destiny to prove them wrong.[38] After assuring that Zelda understands, he returns to the interior ofHyrule Castle.[39]
Afterwards, King Rhoam would reflect on this encounter in hisJournal. He claimed that the reason that Zelda's power had not awakened yet was due to her playing at being a scholar.[40] However, he admitted to understanding her struggles in a later entry, as she had been left without any guidance on her powers for 10 years. Not only did those in Hyrule Castle talk behind her back, King Rhoam recognized that scolding her only drove her to hide away in her research. Even if it meant she would hate him, King Rhoam resolved to keep pushing her to fulfill her duty.[41]
While Zelda was at theSpring of Wisdom, King Rhoam wrote that it would likely be her last chance. In the event that she would yet again fail to unlock her powers, King Rhoam planned on welcoming her back kindly. After 10 years of training, he could now see that her powers would awaken in some other way. He even considered encouraging her research into Ancient Technology in the hope that it could give her the answers he was unable to. As he wrote, he anxiously awaited his daughter's return.[42] Before he could express his guilt to his daughter, however, Calamity Ganon awakened, destroyingHyrule Castle Town and killing King Rhoam.[43][44] He was buried in theKing's Tomb,[45] and, since then, has remained on theGreat Plateau in the form of aSpirit.[5]
Following Link's resurrection, King Rhoam assumes the persona of anOld Man living alone atop the Great Plateau. When Link first meets the Old Man, he is seen camping in an alcove just east of the entrance of the Shrine of Resurrection. The Old Man follows Link throughout theMain Quest "The Isolated Plateau". He repeatedly exhibits a knowledge of theSheikah Slate's capabilities as well asSheikah culture and technology.[46] He requests that Link bring him theSpirit Orbs from within theAncient Shrines in exchange for hisParaglider, the means of escaping the Great Plateau.[47]
After Link obtains all four Spirit Orbs on the Great Plateau, the Old Man will meet Link outside of the final Ancient Shrine. There, he promises to tell Link the truth about who he is, asking for Link to meet him at the spot where the four Ancient Shrines intersect before mysteriously fading away.[48] The location at the intersection of the four Ancient Shrines is theTemple of Time, where Link can pray to theGoddess Statue to receive either aHeart Container or aStamina Vessel. Upon doing so, the Old Man will speak to Link from the rooftop of the Temple of Time, urging him meet him there.[49] Once Link enters the rooftop tower of the Temple of Time, the Old Man will congratulate him on his progress and announce that he will tell Link his true identity.[50] Here, the Old Man reveals to Link that he was King Rhoam, the leader of the former Kingdom of Hyrule Kingdom.[14] As he does so, the Old Man begins to shine brightly and assume his true form as King Rhoam.
King Rhoam reveals to Link that he lost his life during the Great Calamity.[44] He explains that he chose not to bear his true form while Link's memories were still fragile so as not to overwhelm him.[51] He asks Link to forgive him for this deception.[52] Now, though, he believes that Link is ready to hear what happened 100 years ago.[53]
King Rhoam shares the events leading up to the Great Calamity with Link. At the end of the story, he admits that the princess he spoke of was his own daughter, Zelda.[8] He also reveals to Link that he was her knight, but he was defeated while trying to protect her.[54] As a result, Link was taken to the Shrine of Resurrection, which brought him back after 100 years.[55] King Rhoam informs Link that the voice he has been hearing since he woke up was that of Zelda.[56]
Zelda remains in Hyrule Castle, where she calls out for Link's help.[57] King Rhoam warns Link that Zelda's power is draining and will soon be unable to restrain Calamity Ganon.[58] King Rhoam feels guilty since he was not able to save Hyrule, but he still asks Link to save Zelda and destroy Calamity Ganon.[59]
In the century since the Great Calamity, Ganon has managed to keep his control over the Divine Beasts and the Guardians.[60] As it would be reckless for Link to go directly to Hyrule Castle, King Rhoam suggests that he make his way toKakariko Village.[61] Once there, King Rhoam instructs him to meet with the elder,Impa, who will be able to tell him more about his task.[62] He tells Link to use theMap on theSheikah Slate to find its exact location, though he still gives him directions to go west after he passes through theDueling Peaks.[63]
King Rhoam then grants Link the Paraglider, fulfilling his promise to allow Link to safely leave the Great Plateau.[64] Receiving this officially completes "The Isolated Plateau." He believes that Link will now be able to safely descend from the cliffs of the Great Plateau.[65] Having served his duty, King Rhoam bids Link farewell and fades away.[66] Once he is gone, Link will receive the "Seek Out Impa" and "Destroy Ganon" Main Quests.
Once King Rhoam disappears, a new entry will appear inThe Old Man's Diary. Within, he apologizes for deceiving Link, admitting that he did not know how to tell him the truth. Despite acknowledging it was wrong of him, he still claims to have put on a good performance. He then repeats his request for Link to defeat Calamity Ganon and save Zelda. Though he knows it will be difficult, he believes that Link can do it, recalling that he sees the same courage in his eyes that was there 100 years ago.[67]
After Link and Zelda eradicate Calamity Ganon, King Rhoam and the Champions are seen floating above Hyrule Castle. They disappear before the pair turns to face them.
Tears of the Kingdom
WhileZelda andLink are exploringBeneath Hyrule Castle, she recalls that when she was a child, she once asked King Rhoam if there was anything belowHyrule Castle.[68] In response, he told her that there was, though theRoyal Family of Hyrule had been forbidden from seeing or discussing it for generations.[69][70] Later on, during the "Where Am I?"Memory, Zelda introduces herself as the daughter of King Rhoam.[11]
Other Appearances
Age of Calamity
King Rhoam retroactively debuted inAge of Calamity, where he is seen readying theHylian army into battle. He remindsZelda to focus on her duty of awakening her powers, rather than studying theGuardians andDivine Beasts. He is also seen with a sword during the fight against their own Guardians, whichCalamity Ganon recruited to his side by corrupting them.
King Rhoam is thought to have died from the blast of Guardian lasers, but it was really Rhoam himself who used the device called the Ancient Guardian Shield, given to him by Zelda. This turned the tables on the Guardians, and theRoyal Guards were able to retreat fromHyrule Castle. He is later unlocked as a playable character, where he is able to switch to his old man guise in battle to change to a different move set.
Age of Imprisonment
Like inTears of the Kingdom,Zelda introduces herself toRauru andSonia as the daughter of King Rhoam.[13]
Trivia
- Mount Rhoam, which is present inBreath of the Wild,Tears of the Kingdom, andAge of Calamity, is named after King Rhoam.

My queen has left this world. Her death was so sudden and unexpected, I awaken most nights unsure if she is really gone. Zelda never cried, never faltered. Not even during the royal funeral or later when she and I were alone with our grief. I must assume her strength is a result of us repeatedly informing her of her duty to be a valiant and steady princess. For a child of merely six years of age, her conduct was truly that of a born leader. Her strength gives me hope. From now on, I must raise her all alone... Now, only I remain to prepare her for her difficult future as princess of Hyrule.

Everyone gossiping in the present world? Here's my favorite bit of the latest news...
The Secret of the Royal Family of Hyrule
I heard a rumor that there's something to be found inside Hyrule Castle...
And that something is a secret room of Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule, the last king of Hyrule!
There's also supposedly a laboratory that belonged to his daughter, Princess Zelda. A double discovery!
I bet there are all kinds of amazing royal-family secrets hidden in those rooms just waiting to be revealed!
"Secrets of the Royal Family Uncovered!" That headline alone would keep food on the table for months!
But there's no way I'm going anywhere near a place as dangerous as Hyrule Castle. No way!
Don't let that scare you though...
Traysi's Recommendation: ★★★★★ - ↑
Today, as the sun rose and a new day was born, my daughter, too, joined this sweet world. In keeping with the traditions of the royal family, I have decided to name her...Zelda. I am not a man accustomed to frivolous musings, but now seems as good a time as any to begin my royal memorandum.
— King Rhoam's Journal (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Stories of Ganon were passed from generation to generation in the form of legends and fairy tales. But there was also...a prophecy. "The signs of a resurrection of Calamity Ganon are clear. And the power to oppose it lies dormant beneath the ground." We decided to heed the prophecy and began excavating large areas of land. It wasn't long before we discovered several ancient relics made by the hands of our distant ancestors. These relics, the Divine Beasts, were giant machines piloted by warriors. We also found the Guardians, an army of mechanical soldiers who fought autonomously. This coincided with ancient legends, oft repeated throughout our land.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
A fortune teller predicts the revival of Calamity Ganon. King Rhoam begins searching for ancient relics. The four Divine Beasts are uncovered.
(Creating a Champion, Dark Horse Books, pg. 362) - ↑
Reports keep arriving regarding the excavation of relics. The fortune teller's predictions seem to be coming true. Calamity Ganon was not a figure of fable, or even a legend. He actually existed in our great land of Hyrule.
— King Rhoam's Journal (Breath of the Wild)
We must investigate all the relics, learn as much as we can. But understanding the Divine Beasts alone will take time... Zelda's eyes lit up like a wildfire when I told her about the relics... I must admit, she has a knack for research. - ↑
We also learned of a princess with a sacred power and her appointed knight, chosen by the sword that seals the darkness.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
It was they who sealed Ganon away using the power of these ancient relics.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Zelda finally reported back after her visit to the fountain. It seems her sacred sealing power has still yet to awaken. It has been a year and three months since her mother passed. Perhaps she is held back by heartache too deep to heal. If the Ganon prophecy wasn't looming over our heads, I would tell her to take her time... To wait until she is ready. But our situation is dire and leaves no room for weakness—even on behalf of my beloved daughter. My heart breaks for Zelda, but I must act as a king, not a father. I must order her to train relentlessly at the fountain.
— King Rhoam's Journal (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
It was clear that we must follow our ancestors' path. We selected for skilled individuals from across Hyrule and tasked them with the duty of piloting the Divine Beasts. With the princess as their commander, we dubbed these pilots Champions—a name that would solidify their unique bond.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Welcome, warriors! I'd like to thank you for joining me here today, and for your bravery in accepting this...fateful task.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I officially appoint you Hyrule's Champions and bestow upon you this sacred garb.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
That blue is a symbol of the Royal Family, one that has been passed down for countless generations.

Those garments you now wear were all crafted by my daughter, Zelda. Zelda. I trust you with the task only a daughter of the royal family can fulfill.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Lead our Champions, Princess. And together, protect our kingdom from the threat of Calamity Ganon.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
What are you doing out here, Zelda?
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I... I was assessing the results of the experiment with the Guardians. These pieces of ancient technology could be quite useful against the—
— Princess Zelda (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I know that. They are essential to Hyrule's future, and our research demands that we keep a close eye on them.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
However, as the princess, you currently have a crucial unfulfilled responsibility to your kingdom.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Let me ask you once more... When will you stop treating this as some sort of childish game?
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
And now you are here wasting your time. You need to be dedicating every moment you have to your training. You must be single-minded in unlocking the power that will seal Calamity Ganon away.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
No more excuses, Zelda!
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Stop running away from your duty. As the king, I forbid you to have anything to do with these machines from this moment on and command you to focus on your training.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Do you know how the gossip mongers refer to you? They are out there at this moment whispering amongst themselves... that you are the heir to a throne of nothing... nothing but failure.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
It is woven into your destiny that you prove them wrong.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Do you understand?
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild)Yes. I understand.
— Princess Zelda (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I was told Zelda went off to research ancient technology, so I had no choice but to confront her about it. She claims she was simply using her day off from training to indulge in a bit of research, but still I scolded her. She won't get it through her head... Forcing me to tell her the same thing I have been repeating ad nauseam. The reason her sacred powers still won't awaken is because she's spending all her efforts playing at being a scholar!
— King Rhoam's Journal (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
In truth, I understand Zelda's feelings. Painfully so. She lost her mother, her teacher, before she could learn from her. Ten pointless years of self-training, without so much as a book or note to help her find her way... Those in the castle talk behind her back. And I, her only family, scold her for her shortcomings. No wonder she wishes to hide away in her beloved relic research. I'd love nothing more than to console her... But I must stay strong. She MUST fulfill her duty, just as we all must. Even if she comes to despise me.
— King Rhoam's Journal (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I have been told my Zelda went to the Spring of Wisdom... This will likely be her last chance. If she is unable to awaken her power at Lanayru, all hope is truly lost. If she comes back without success, then I shall speak kindly with her. Scolding is pointless now. I forced 10 years of training on her... and after all that, it seems her power will stubbornly awaken some other way. Perhaps I should encourage her to keep researching her beloved relics. They may just lead her to answers I can't provide. For now, I sit anxiously, more a father than a king in this moment. I sit and await my daughter's return.

He told you to survey the plateau from the top of the tower to find the remaining shrines. He also pointed out that you can use your Sheikah Slate if you need to travel quickly. - ↑
With this, you have now acquired all of theSpirit Orbs from the shrines on this plateau. Oho ho! Extraordinary! That means...it is finally time. Link, it is finally time for me to tell you everything. But first... Imagine an X on your map, with the four shrines as the end points. Find the spotwhere those lines intersect. I shall wait for you there. Do you understand? Where two lines connecting the shrines would cross... There...I will...be waiting...

I did not think it wise to overwhelm you while your memory was still fragile. So rather than that, I thought it best to assume a temporary form.

Forgive me.

I think you are now ready. Ready to hear what happened 100 years ago.

And the courageous knight who protected her right up to the very end... That knight was none other than you, Link. You fought valiantly when your fate took an unfortunate turn.

And then, you were taken to the Shrine of Resurrection. Here you now stand revitalized, 100 years later.

The words of guidance you have been hearing since your awakening are from Princess Zelda herself.

However, my daughter's power will soon be exhausted. Once that happens, Ganon will freely regenerate himself and nothing will stop him from consuming our land.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Considering that I could not save my own kingdom, I have no right to ask this of you, Link... But I am powerless here... You must save her...my daughter. And do whatever it takes to annihilate Ganon.

Somehow, Ganon has maintained control over all four Divine Beasts, as well as those Guardians swarming around Hyrule Castle

I believe it would be quite reckless for you to head directly to the castle at this point. I suggest...that you make your way east, out to one of the villages in the wilderness. Follow the road out to Kakariko village.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Follow the road out to Kakariko Village. There you will find the elder, Impa. She will tell you more about the path that lies ahead.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Consult the map on your Sheikah Slate for the precise location of Kakariko Village. Make your way past the twin summits of the Dueling Peaks. From there, follow the road as it proceeds north...

Go on... Here is theparaglider, just as I promised.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
With that, you should be able to safely fly off the cliffs surrounding this area.
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
And...I think that's it. I've told you everything I can... Link... You must save...Hyrule...
— King Rhoam (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Link... Bit by bit, you may come to realize who I am. I am sorry for not revealing my true identity to you sooner. The truth is, after you awoke from your longer Slumber of Restoration, I did not know how to tell you all there was to say. Perhaps deceiving you was not the right thing to do. Still...you must admit I put on a great performance! But all joking aside...what I ask of you is of the utmost important, dear hero. I implore you, with all my heart... defeat Calamity Ganon and save my precious daughter, Zelda. I understand this is no simple task I am asking of you, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can do it. I do not doubt it for a moment. I see courage in your eyes, just as I did 100 years ago. I believe in you, Link.
