Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule

King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule, or King Rhoam for short, is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He is the "The Last King of Hyrule", the husband of the Queen of Hyrule, and the father of Princess Zelda.

He is voiced by Bill Rogers in the English version of the game.

Family
In an unknown amount of time before the Great Calamity, King Rhoam and the Queen of Hyrule had a child, a daughter, who in the traditions of the royal family was named Zelda.

When Princess Zelda was only six years old, the Queen of Hyrule died unexpectedly, putting the King and Zelda in great shock. A royal funeral was held, where King Rhoam noticed that his daughter never cried or faltered. This is said to be due to her being raised by her parents to be a valiant and steady princess. Her strength was said to have given the King hope. He then chose to raise Zelda to adulthood on his own.

Ancient artifacts discovery
A century ago, the people of Hyrule discovered various ancient artifacts. Some of the excavated artifacts confirmed Calamity Ganon's existence, and this lead King Rhoam to insist that the relics be investigated as thoroughly as possible in order to prepare for his return. He acknowledged that the Guardians and the Divine Beasts would take longer to understand. King Rhoam later told his daughter about the relics, which she showed great interest in researching further.

The Great Calamity
When Calamity Ganon attacked, King Rhoam aided with the effort of pushing him back along with the aid of the four Champions and the Divine Beasts. However, Ganon was cunning and created blight Ganons to take control of the Divine Beasts and turn the Guardians against the King and his people. On that day those inside Hyrule castle, the Champions, and himself, all lost their lives. Princess Zelda, the king's daughter, survived and managed to seal away Ganon for a time. Though dead, Rhoam had since wandered the wild as a spirit, concealing himself in a brown cloak.

Link's awakening
A hundred years after the Great Calamity, his daughter's spell beginning to wane, Rhoam encounters Link when he arrives to the Great Plateau, giving the youth some quests to complete serving as the youth's guide. Once Link completes the quest of entering the four Shrines on the Great Plateau, Rhoam reveals his identity to Link and proceeds to tell Link of the tragedy that had befallen Hyrule one hundred years ago. Rhoam then tells Link to make his way east toward Kakariko Village and seek out Impa, as heading off directly to Hyrule Castle right now in his current condition would be quite reckless. Following Ganon's defeat, King Rhoam sees his daughter one final time before he and the Champions depart.
