Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule is a character from Breath of the Wild. He is the "Last King of Hyrule" and the father of Princess Zelda.
Breath of the Wild
- See also: Old Man (Breath of the Wild)
A century ago, King Rhoam, aided by the four Champions and the Divine Beasts, attempted to stop Calamity Ganon from destroying the world. Ganon was cunning, however, and created the various blight Ganons to take control of the Divine Beasts and turn the Guardians against the people of Hyrule. On that day most of Hyrule's citizens, including the Champions and the King himself, lost their lives.[1][2][3] Princess Zelda managed to survive and seal Ganon away inside Hyrule Castle.[4]
For the past century, Rhoam has wandered the land as a spirit, concealing himself as an Old Man.[5] Other than the Monks and Link, the Old Man is the Great Plateau's only resident.
A hundred years after these events, Princess Zelda's power began to wane and Ganon was breaking free from his prison. Rhoam encountered Link when he emerged from the Shrine of Resurrection, serving as his guide in the new world. Once Link completes the first four shrines, Rhoam reveals his identity to Link. He will tell Link of the events that caused his demise and pleads with him that he must save his daughter and destroy Ganon.[6]
As Ganon still has control over the Guardians that surround Hyrule Castle, Rhoam advises Link to head east towards Kakariko Village and seek out Impa.[7]
King Rhoam will then give the Paraglider to Link before vanishing.[8] This will give Link two Main Quest objectives: Destroy Ganon and Seek Out Impa.
Following Calamity Ganon's defeat, Rhoam sees his daughter again before he and the other deceased champions depart.

Trivia
- King Rhoam is the tallest and altogether biggest Hylian shown in both Breath of the Wild and Age of Calamity.
- In Breath of the Wild, the Soldier's Bow atop the Temple of Time's bell tower is among the strongest bows found in the Great Plateau. It's not related to Link's rendezvous with the King where he provides the backstory of the game and the Paraglider. The chest containing the bow just happens to be there and can be obtained regardless.
- Once the Paraglider is obtained from the King and the Plateau's quest is cleared, the bed in the Woodcutter's House becomes a free bed for Link to recover hearts on.
