In [[Ocarina of Time]], a injured guard would tell you that the king was murdered by [[Ganondorf]]. King of the land of [[Hyrule]]. In the [[Wind Waker]], Daphnes took on the form of a boat named the [[King of Red Lions]].
==Biography==
==={{TWW|-}}===
{{Figurines|TWW}}
Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule was once the king of [[Hyrule]] during the [[Era without a Hero]]. When the Goddesses unleashed the [[Great Flood]], he chose to remain in Hyrule, which was to be sealed by the Goddesses at the bottom of the sea. He split the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] into two parts and instructed the [[Princess Zelda#Antediluvian Princess|princess]] of that era to keep one piece and flee to the mountaintops with her servants.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= The gods chose which of the kingdom's subjects would ascend to the new land, telling them to escape to the tallest mountains. They then flooded the world, sinking Ganondorf and Hyrule to the bottom of the ocean and sealing them away. Though the king was sealed along with his kingdom, the princess took a piece of the Triforce that had been broken in two by the king and managed to escape to the ocean's surface with several of her retainers.|book=HH|page= 123}}</ref>


[[Category:People]]
Hundreds of years later, [[Ganondorf]] managed to circumvent the Goddesses' seal and reach the surface of the [[Great Sea]]. In response, the Goddesses awakened the king from his seal, who assumed the form of a boat, the [[King of Red Lions]]. In this new form, Daphnes began searching the Great Sea, looking for a hero to defeat Ganon and the descendant of the royal family.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule, ordered by the gods to put an end to Ganondorf's ambitions, awoke from his slumber. His spirit took up residence in a small red boat known as the King of Red Lions, and he began searching for the new Hero and the {{Typo|descendent|descendant}} of the royal family.|book=HH|page= 124}}</ref> After [[Link]] is captured by the [[Helmaroc King]] and thrown out to sea, the King of Red Lions rescues him and aids the hero in his quest. Daphnes can speak the [[Hylian Language#Third Hylian Script|ancient Hylian tongue]], and often does so on Link's behalf, as the hero cannot understand the language.
 
After Link fails to defeat Ganondorf in the [[Forsaken Fortress]] with the newly-obtained [[Master Sword]],<ref>{{Cite|You cannot defeat me with a blade that does not sparkle with the power to repel evil! What you hold is useless.|Ganondorf|TWW}}</ref> he, along with the King of Red Lions and [[Tetra]], retreat to the underwater vestige of Hyrule. There, the King of Red Lions reveals his identity as the former king of Hyrule and that he magically operates the boat to guide Link.<ref>{{Cite|And I am its king: Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule. Link, do you not recognize my voice? Indeed, I am the one who guided you here. I am the King of Red Lions.|Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule|TWW}}</ref> Daphnes also reveals to Tetra that she is the heir to the kingdom of Hyrule by combining the two fragments of the Triforce of Wisdom, the one in his possession with the one in Tetra's necklace, restoring the Triforce of Wisdom which now dwelt within [[Princess Zelda]]. He instructs Zelda to remain in [[Hyrule Castle]] to avoid detection from Ganondorf while he resumes his form as the King of Red Lions and proceeds to aid Link in his quest for restoring the evil-repelling power of the Master Sword.
 
Daphnes later appears in person after Ganondorf brings together all three pieces of the [[Triforce]], intervening by using its power to flood what remains of his kingdom, giving Link and Zelda a future.<ref>{{Cite|He who touches it will have whatever he desires granted... That is what you said, is it not, Ganondorf? Gods of the Triforce! Hear that which I desire! Hope! I desire hope for these children! Give them a future! Wash away this ancient land of Hyrule! Let a ray of hope shine on the future of the world!!!|Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule|TWW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|And let our destinies finally be fulfilled... Ganondorf! May you drown with Hyrule!!!|Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule|TWW}}</ref> In response to this, Ganondorf attacks Link and Zelda,<ref>{{Cite|Very well, then... Allow me to show you... Your future... Yes... Allow me to show you... Just what hope you have... See how much your precious Triforce is worth!|Ganondorf|TWW}}}</ref> intending to kill them.
 
Once Link and Zelda defeat Ganondorf, Daphnes laments to them his regret as he lived bound to the memory of Hyrule, comparing himself to Ganondorf in that regard. He goes on to encourage them to live for the future and not repeat his mistakes, ignoring Zelda's request to come with them and find a land to be the next Hyrule. As the kingdom floods, Link and Zelda are enclosed within bubbles and begin to ascend to the surface; the former attempts to reach out toward the king, who begins to raise his own hand to meet Link's. The king's hand ultimately falls to his side as he presumably drowns, content with the knowledge that Link and Tetra will help create a brighter future for everyone.<ref>{{Cite|I have scattered the seeds of the future...|Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule|TWW}}</ref>
 
The King of Red Lions appears once again when Link is departing from [[Outset Island]] with Tetra and [[Tetra's Pirate Crew|her crew]]; however it is now completely lifeless, as the king himself has died. Daphnes's dream eventually comes true when Link and Tetra discover [[New Hyrule]], the main setting of one of the game's sequels, {{ST}}.

{{Stub|HW, HWL}}
In {{HW}}, King Daphnes appears as a playable Warrior. He uses the [[Sail#Hyrule Warriors|Sail]] as his primary Weapon, which is associated with the Water {{Term|HWDE|Element|link}}, and uses it to summon waves to crash into enemies. The Sail also lets King Daphnes momentarily transform into the King of Red Lions. King Daphnes can be unlocked in {{HW|-}} using a code included in {{HW|L}} or by obtaining the ''Legends'' Character Pack DLC. In {{HW|L|-}} and {{HW|DE}}, he is unlocked after completing the "[[Reclaiming the Darkness]]" Scenario in [[Legend Mode]]. In {{HW|DE|-}}, King Daphnes can also be unlocked as a Reward for Battle Victory on the Adventure Battle at square C13 of the [[Great Sea Map]] in [[Adventure Mode]].
 
When defeated in battle as an opponent, King Daphnes may occasionally drop his [[King Daphnes's Robe|Robe]] as a silver [[Material]], or rarely his [[King Daphnes's Crown|Crown]] as a gold Material.

==Trivia==
* In {{BotW}}, {{Term|BotW|Mount Daphnes|link}} in {{Term|Series|Hyrule Field|link}} is named after {{Term|Series|Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule}}.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= BotW|publisher= Piggyback|page= 351}}</ref>
 
==Nomenclature==
The King's first name, "Daphnes", is likely a male form of "Daphne" or "Daphné", a Greek name meaning "laurel" or "bay tree".
 
The name "Nohansen" follows the patronymic naming convention found in Scandinavian (primarily in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland), where the son's surname would take his father's with the addition of "-son". This would mean that his name can be interpreted as "Daphnes, Son of Nohan," implying the name of a king who ruled before him or even one of his ancestors. In the German version of the game, Daphnes' second name is "Johanson," meaning "Son of John" when translated from German.
 
The Japanese transcription of the name Daphnes Nohansen, {{Romanize|ダフネス・ノハンセン|Dafunesu Nohansen}}, shares the same phonograms as the words {{Romanize|舟|Fune|boat|2}} and {{Romanize|帆船|Hansen|sailling ship|2}}. Puresumably, the name is a pun on his other form.
