4
5	[[folder:The King]]
6	King Harkinian, ruler of Hyrule.
7	----
8	* AbusiveParent: Takes on a fatherly role to Link, and often throws him out of the castle for [[RantInducingSlight saying his catchphrase]]. It's PlayedForLaughs, though.
9	* AdaptationalDumbass: From the original CD-i games, where he's portrayed as TheGoodKing. Here, he's an idiot.
10	* AdiposeRex: Just like the original game, he's a king and he's fat.
11	* TheAlcoholic: The first thing he says when on vacation is, "Who wants to watch me drink?" It's to the point where Zelda is concerned for his health.
12	* BigEater: Of course! The man loves dinner.
13	* BigFun: Always ready to have a good time and go on lighthearted capers.
14	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Tries to sail to Tennessee to vote even though the election is over, fears going to Hell because he saw himself in Hell in a [=YouTube=] Poop, and goes nuts when his favorite cereal is taken off the market.
15	* FatBastard: He's a hedonistic fat man and on his worst days treats people like shipt.
16	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Gwonam; whenever he sees him he screams with joy.
17	* ImpoverishedPatrician: Downplayed; he's the King of a large realm with multiple city-states, seemingly in modern times, but lives life more like a middle-class American. One may think he's just saving money, but given his impulsive nature and constant complaints about his shit house, shit car, etc. That's a stretch to believe.
18	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's selfish and irritable, but he dotes on Zelda and deep down loves Link.
19	%%* LargeHam
20	* MadLibsCatchphrase: "My shit (car/house/job/boyfriend)".
21	* NervousWreck: "Developed an anxiety disorder" since Link moved in, has an existential crisis when he sees a YTP of himself going to Hell, frequently calls out "Wii wii! Emergency" when bothered, is horrified by Mario Head, and freaks out when his favorite cereal stops production. This might [[FreudianExcuse explain]] some of his more [[{{Jerkass}} dickish]] moments.
22	* TheNicknamer: "My boy" for Link, "Gwo" or "Gwony" for Gwonam.
23	%%* ParentalSubstitute: To Link.
24	* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Teaches Link the stereotype that [[InsaneTrollLogic Italians will do anything for]] gum.
25	%%* PsychopathicManchild: Again, at his worst.
26	* SpeechImpediment: Sometimes pronounces his Rs as Ws. ("We want wadio")
27	* StraightGay: Well, bisexual. He had a wife, bangs [=HOAHs=], is dating Morshu, and according to Gwonam's scroll he's queer. He's not stereotypical at all.
28	%%* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Switches roles with Gwonam.
29	%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Mumf Mumf Cereal and wine.
30	* VitriolicBestBuds: As much as he loves Gwonam, the two get on each other's nerves sometimes.
31	[[/folder]]
32
33	[[folder:Link]]
34	----
35	* AffectionateNickname: "My boy".
36	* BigEater: Possibly moreso than Harky. He's constantly complaining about being hungry. This may be less about gluttony and more because he's a boy in his early teens working as a warrior, and really does require a lot of fuel.
37	* ButtMonkey: Frequently dissed and slapped around by other characters.
38	* {{Catchphrase}}: "Gee, it sure is boring around here..." Much to the King's dismay.
39	%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The biggest one in the series.
40	* CreepyChild: Lampshaded by Gay Luigi in episode 12 when he goes into too much detail with a toilet metaphor; "He's one creepy kid!" Zelda agrees.
41	%%* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
42	* ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 12.
43	%%* TheDitz
44	* DoggedNiceGuy: To Zelda, although there are hints she may feel the same way.
45	* DumbIsGood: The dumbest character by far, and also the sweetest.
46	* TheGadfly: In the first few episodes, before his TooDumbToLive characterization took over.
47	* KiddieKid: In his last year of middle school/first year of high sCOOL; but still plays with his toiis and in general talks like a young child. {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}d by [[JerkassToOne Gwonam]].
48	%%* NiceGuy
49	* ObfuscatingStupidity: Grabs his "stupid face" to annoy Gwonam.
50	* RaceLift: He reveals to the audience in one skit that he's Black.
51	* SecondaryCharacterTitle: The King is the star of most plots, despite Link's name being in the title.
52	* TooDumbToLive: Thought spaghetti would cook faster in the toaster.
53	%%* TookALevelInDumbass
54	%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pie and octorocks.
55	* {{Troll}}: In [[CharacterizationMarchesOn earlier episodes]]. Later [[ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat weaponized]] in Episode 10, where he intentionally annoys Ganon into defeat.
56	[[/folder]]
57
58	[[folder:Zelda]]
59	----
60	* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Living with the likes of Harkinian and Link, it's a full-time job.
61	* DaddysGirl: Loves her father and worries about his health. Also enjoys laughing with him in almost every episode.
62	* JerkassBall: "We were just about to have a feast. ... Without you."
63	%%* NiceGirl
64	* OddFriendship: With Link; one would think that the OnlySaneWoman Princess and the King's ditzy ward wouldn't have much to talk about, but along with Impa he's the one Zelda confides in, and he in turn holds a high view of her.
65	* OnlySaneWoman: Dealing with [[FatIdiot Harkinian]], [[KiddieKid Link]], and [[NotSoAboveItAll Gwonam]] makes her seem like the smartest person in the world.
66	* ParentingTheParent: More mature than Harkinian and often speaks to him as if speaking to a child.
67	* SitcomArchnemesis: Becomes this with Gwonam by the end of the series; she's annoyed by her father spending all his time with him, and the two often argue.
68	* SurroundedByIdiots
69	* UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo: Asks Link for a kiss but is told he gave up on her "years ago"... [[SubvertedTrope but that he still loves her]].
70	* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Link.
71	[[/folder]]
72
73	[[folder:Gwonam]]
74	Harkinian's herald and [[HeterosexualLifePartners best friend]] with a flying carpet and a penchant for Koridian lingo.
75	----
76	* TheAce: "G's cool. G's hip with it."
77	* AmbiguouslyBrown
78	* ButtMonkey: Not as bad as Link, but he gets saddled with scrubbing all the floors and gets his house stolen by Michael Rosen.
79	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: His priorities are... odd.
80	* CoolOldGuy
81	* DeadpanSnarker
82	* DirtyOldMan: Shows up in Harky's bathtub "nakey", and tries to get with Link, who is underage.
83	* GrumpyOldMan: It's hard to blame him, though, considering what he puts up with.
84	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With King Harkinian.
85	* JerkassToOne: Link, until he [[HeelRealization finds out he's mentally ill]]. Seems to shift his vitriol to Zelda later.
86	* MrExposition: This is basically his job.
87	* MyNameIsNotShazam: His name is NOT Squadala!
88	* NotSoAboveItAll: Often groans at Harkie's eccentricities, but he himself pulls weird shipt as well; like showing up in the King's bathtub naked, playing "sentimental" music under emotional moments, forcing Kordian lingo, and "recapping" events that didn't happen in episode 12.
89	* OnlySaneMan: Sometimes...
90	* OutOfCharacterMoment: Attempting to proposition Link in Episode 10. Nowhere else in the series indicates that he's [[DirtyOldMan attracted to Link]].
91	* SitcomArchnemesis: With Zelda.
92	* TotallyRadical: His insistence on using Koridian Lingo.
93	* ToxicFriendInfluence: Depending on the episode. On the one hand, he helps Kingy overcome his anxieties. On the other, he enables his unhealthy alcoholism and at one point sets his face on fire just for Website/YouTube views.
94	* VitriolicBestBuds: With all three of the main characters.
95	[[/folder]]
96
97	! The King's Court
98
99	[[folder:Impa]]
100	* CoolOldLady
101	* InformedDeformity: The King's song describes her as "fat and ugly", but she appears average for an older woman.
102	* TheMentor: The only older female guidance Zelda has in her life.
103	* NiceGirl: A bit bumbling but overall as sweet as she was in the original game. She always assures Zelda that Harkinian will be OK, and tries to reminisce about high school with Link before [[{{Jerkass}} Harkinian makes fun of her age and tells Fari take her away]].
104	[[/folder]]
105
106	[[folder:Fari]]
107	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Hyrule Gang continues a common YTP trend of portraying Fari as Hispanic. ("Si, Senior King!")
108	* JerkassBall: Normally a loyal servant to the King, willing to indulge his strange hobbies in, in Episode 12 he tells him to "Piss off, your Majesty!" when all the King wanted was to hang out with somebody.
109	* MotorMouth: "Dukeonkledbeyrayedthekingdukeon..."
110	[[/folder]]
111
112	! Around the Kingdom
113
114	[[folder:Morshu]]
115	A shopkeeper, and Harkinian's on-off boyfriend.
116	----
117	* {{Catchphrase}}: Mmmmmmmmmmm...
118	* DomesticAbuser: Openly admits to this and has no remorse; in Episode 12 he humiliates Harkinian ForTheLulz.
119	* {{Jerkass}}: "Yes I'm a dick to Kingy, but I can't give a shit."
120	* LackOfEmpathy
121	* LaserGuidedKarma: Along with Ganon, they humiliated the King for "teh lulz", so he humiliates them back.
122	* FatBastard: The biggest (literally and figuatively) asshole in the show.
123	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Everyone agrees he's a dick, he doesn't seem to like them much either, yet he still dates the King and hangs out in the castle.
124	* NoAccountingForTaste: Sure, Harkinian has his... eccentricities. But why a powerful, fun-loving monarch willingly dates an ugly merchant-class man with an awful personality who hates his guts is anyone's guess.
125	* SitcomArchnemesis: To Link, and strangely enough, the King.
126	* SlapSlapKiss: We ONLY see the slap, however; he and Harkinian never really hang out onscreen and are pretty hostile to each other, but apparently they are dating.
127	* StraightGay
128	* ThoseTwoGuys: With Ganon in Episode 12.
129	* {{Troll}}: Likes to mess with Link.
130	[[/folder]]
131
132	[[folder:Ganon]]
133	The Kingdom's greatest enemy, who also sometimes shows up to chill.
134	----
135	* AffablyEvil
136	* ArchEnemy: To The Kingdom as a whole, but specifically to Zelda and Link. He still hangs out with them sometimes though.
137	* BigBad
138	* CardCarryingVillain
139	* ADayInTheLimelight: Normally just there for a quick gag or as an offscreen enemy, Episode 10 is all about his plan to murder Zelda and the King.
140	* GoKartingWithBowser: Hangs out with Link & co. despite being their enemy on paper. They seem to enjoy his company more than Morshu's, who's not even a villain, but just a dick.
141	* HiddenDepths: Enjoys poetry and performs at poetry readings in Bikini Bottom.
142	* LaserGuidedKarma: Along with Morshu, they humiliated the King for "teh lulz", so he humiliates them back.
143	* OffscreenVillainy: Zelda offhandedly mentions "battling Ganon's evil legions".
144	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He has a literal phobia of the mentally ill.
145	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: "I'll show myself out!"
146	* TemporarilyAVillain: Villainous so little of the time, that his one truly evil plan in Episode 10 almost comes across as this.
147	* ThoseTwoGuys: With Morshu in Episode 12.
148	[[/folder]]
149
150	[[folder:Fat Mario]]
151	* ButtMonkey
152	* DefrostingIceKing: Towards Link.
153	* CatchPhrase: "No."
154	* EveryoneHasStandards: He finds Link annoying, but is also disgusted by Mary-O's active bullying of him.
155	* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: His mustache glows and has telekinesis in Episode 12.
156	* OnlySaneMan
157	* TheSmartGuy: King Harkinkan tries to {{invoke\|dTrope}} this, reasoning they needed him for the mail because "He can [[SpeechImpediment wead]]." Gwonam retorts that so can the rest of them.
158	* UnexplainedRecovery: He [[PerfectlyCromulentWord koradies]] and goes to Hell, but shows up later alive and well.
159	* VagueAge: Presented as a grown man most of the time, but is in high sCOOL in Episode 12.
160	* WeirdnessMagnet: As much as he might not want to be, characters like Mario Head and Link see him as a confidant.
161	* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: Has been a doctor, a construction worker, a high school student, and of course a plumber.
162	[[/folder]]
163
164	[[folder:Gay Luigi]]
165	* TheBully: Only when with [[ToxicFriendInfluence Mary-O]].
166	* DivergentCharacterEvolution
167	* TookALevelInJerkass: When he starts hanging out with Mary-O.
168	[[/folder]]
169
170	[[folder:Duke Onkled]]
171	* AdaptationalHeroism: In his original game, he's a sniveling, cowardly traitor. Here, he's shown as nothing but loyal to the King. However, see AmbiguouslyEvil.
172	* AmbiguouslyEvil: Fari [[MotorMouth goes on and on]] about how he "betrayed" the King, but we never see him punished for it. Perhaps he IS plotting against him, but Fari's warnings fall on deaf ears?
173	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: If Fari is correct about him.
174	* NiceGuy: When the King takes the cinnamon challenge, he gives him water instead of laughing like Morshu and Ganon.
175	[[/folder]]
176
177	! High sCOOL
178
179	[[folder:Michael Rosen]]
180	* AmbiguouslyGay: If his rap in Episode 7 is canon and he did, indeed, fuck the King. However, this was in a YTP the King made in-universe.
181	* TheGadfly: Seems to exist to make things more difficult for everybody.
182	* {{Jerkass}}
183	* SadistTeacher: -After sending Link to the Principal's office- "I love my job!"
184	* TheSociopath
185	[[/folder]]
186
187	[[folder:Principal Frollo]]
188	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In Hunchback, he's a genocidal hypocrite who abuses his adopted son. In "Hyrule Gang", he's a long-suffering grump who [[{{Jerkass}} still physically abuses Link]], but is overall genuinely trying to help.
189	* CoolOldGuy
190	* CoolTeacher: Despite being annoyed by Link, he immediately knows he's not the one causing trouble and gives him advice on dealing with bullies.
191	* GrumpyOldMan
192	* MisBlamed: Refreshingly averted. He knows right away that Rosen is full of shit and that Link wasn't the one causing trouble.
193	* OnlySaneEmployee: At High sCool.
194	* OnlySaneMan
195	[[/folder]]
196
197	[[folder:Mary-O]]
198	* TheBully
199	* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Appears to have taken Link's speech to heart... GilliganCut to Link in the dumpster.
200	* PaletteSwap: A version of Hotel Mario's title character wearing purple and with a higher voice.

206	* EldritchHorror
207	* KnightOfCerebus: Treated so in-universe.
208	* NightmareFuel: to The King.
209	* TheSociopath: Low-functioning, as he makes no secret his desire to mutilate people and steal their shipt.
