The King of Hyrule, Princess Zelda and the Seven maidens in A Link to the Past

The Hylian Royal Family has been featured strongly in a few Zelda games, including Ocarina of Time and The Minish Cap. The most prominent member of the Hylian Royal Family is Princess Zelda, who appears in nearly every game. Several other members also appear across games, or are referred to.

The Hylian Royal Family is, in general, the most prominent of all leaders in Hyrule. They keep close contact with the other leaders or races/tribes as a whole

There is no current proven family tree or bloodline, due to a lack of information regarding Zelda's mother, or either of her parents parents. Without this information, it is impossible to construct a comprehensive family tree.

The Legend of Zelda

In The Legend of Zelda, the Hylian Royal Family was responsible for guarding the Triforce of Wisdom. When Ganon attacked, the young princess of Hyrule, Zelda, broke it into eight pieces and hid them, for which she was imprisoned by Ganon.

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, Zelda appeared to be the only living descendant of the Royal Family of Hyrule, depicted in the scene "The Invasion of Hyrule", when she is the only Royal Family member guarding the throne. It was also brought up that she made the decision to engulf Hyrule in Twilight rather then relinquish it, hinting that there was no higher power.
