King Daphnes

Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule (ダフネス・ノハンセン・ハイラル, Dafunesu Nohansen Hairaru), also known as King of Hyrule (ハイラル王), is a character first introduced in The Wind Waker. His failure to stop Ganondorf's return in the adult timeline left his spirit wandering. He seeks to find a hero worthy enough to save the land.

Involvment in Story
After saving Tetra from the Helmaroc King, Link and Lana were left with no feasable way of restoring Hyrule again. It is here that Daphnes approched them, explaining that the land had been morphed due to an "evil prescence" in Tetra's world. The three traveled to the Temple of Souls, where they saved Cia, knowing she could aid in the fight to come. They set out to the now fused Earth Temple and Wind Temple, where the King of Red Lions aided in the decisive final battle. After defeating Phantom Ganon, Tetra and Daphnes began to fade away, waving goodbye as their world began to restore itself with the power of the Triforce.

Personality
King Daphnes is a stern yet kind figure. He acts as a father figure to all those around him, and as a noble king puts the safety of others before his own. The prosperity of his kingdom and its people are his top priority. Despite his royal status, King Daphnes has a soft spot for children, often aiding the Link of the Great Sea Era with fatherly advise and patience. He's also known to tell the occasional joke in calm situations.
