~KING DAPHNES NOHANSEN HYRULE~
(King of Hyrule)
———————
This is
THE KING of Hyrule. He could utilize Triforce-enhanced powers (as he commanded the Triforce in
The Wind Waker's climax), while sporting some sturdy, confidant martial arts and/or some of the Blade Brothers' moves from The Minish Cap. They are as follows (Blade Brother — moves taught):
- Swiftblade — Spin Attack, Dash Attack, Rock Breaker, Down Thrust
- Grayblade — Roll Attack
- Waveblade — Peril Beam
- Grimblade — Sword Beam
- Scarblade — Quick Spin Attack
- Splitblade — Quick charge of Split Gauge
- Greatblade — Prolonged Great Spin Attack
- Swiftblade I — Great Spin Attack
Granted, not all of these moves could/should be utilized by the King of Hyrule. I foresee this stocky, brute fighter using heavy karate chops to execute the likes of Rock Breaker, Down Thrust, Dash Attack, Sword Beam (with or without a sword), and Quick Spin Attack (a single spin with a large chop). These would be accompanied by golden-hued Triforce-enhanced powers unlike his daughter Zelda utilizes. Since Link, Zelda, and Ganon each behold the Triforces of Courage, Wisdom, and Power, the King of Hyrule could equally use powers indicative of all three pieces. As such, his up, side, and down specials could reflect one of each Triforce, with his neutral special being a charge attack:
- Up Special — Triforce of Power: King of Hyrule raises his fist skyward, charging a ball of light that when released, depending on the duration of the charge, will be thrown at an increase of speed at a diagonal akin with Ness's aerial PK Fire, exploding on the ground leaving a hitbox for a moment. Direct contact with an opponent will deal great damage, but little-to-no knockback. It instead stuns them in place. Also functions like DK's Up Special when used in-air, but with vertical recovery instead of horizontal; the King completes one full aerial rotation throughout the recovery, rising with his right hand holding a ball of light. (Reference)
- Side Special — Triforce of Courage: King of Hyrule charges a forward or backward swipe of his divine hand and upon release, flings a "sword beam". Longer held, faster the flight. Even if he charges forward, if the analog stick is flung the opposite direction upon release, he will spin and throw it the opposite direction. (Reference)
- Down Special — Triforce of Wisdom: King of Hyrule faces the screen, and with hands together recites an incantation that summons from within him up to three (or four) orbs of light (depending on the duration held) that eventually simultaneously slam down on the ground around him. Little damage, but area effect. (Reference)
- Neutral Special — Triforce Charge: King of Hyrule places a fist in his hand (like Ganondorf's taunt) and begins charging up a golden light. Once fully charged, he carries that energy and can deliver it with a smash attack. If reactivated after the charge concludes, he will begin the charge from start. Best to use what power is charged instead of wasting it.
How 'bout it?
