King Harkinian

King Harkinian (also known as The King) is generally associated as being the King of Hyrule and father of Princess Zelda. He first made his appearance in the the Legend of Zelda animated series, as well as the video games, Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon for the Philips CD-i. As the character appears outside of official Nintendo sources, he is not considered a canon character in Zelda continuity.

King Harkinian is depicted as a somewhat tall, but obese man with a beard and a cloak who appears to enjoy indulging in food, commonly wondering what's for dinner. He is a very calm yet stubborn man, exclaiming that peace is what all true warriors strive for, in response to Link's boredom, but also insists that he'll go to Gamelon to help his cousin, Duke Onkled, fight off Ganon's forces, despite Zelda's objections.

There are five versions of King Harkinian in M.U.G.E.N, with one being a joke character, three being edits of said joke character and the other supposedly being more serious.

ancara's Version


This version has custom sprites, plays well and has decent AI, but he dosent have many attacks. He attacks mainly with his sword, but he also uses his 'Dinner Blaster' as seen in a YouTube video.

The Evil King


An edit of quetzalcoatl_88's King Harkinian, The Evil King uses a hunting knife, acid and skulls to attack. Other changes include Jabba the Hutt's voice playing during his win pose, as opposed to his regular laugh, the Great Mighty Poo's voice playing when he is defeated, and Rasputin riding on a magic carpet, dropping Link skulls, rather than Gwonam dropping Link Bombs.

The Santa King
The Santa King features almost the same changes as The Evil King does, but said changes are more Christmas-themed. Instead of dinner, Christmas presents and cookies are thrown, Squidward appears on the magic carpet, and a "Ho! Ho Ho!" voice clip plays during his win pose.
