History[]
Rauru appeared in Tears of the Kingdom, voiced by Chris Hackney. He was the first King of Hyrule. He is a Zonai man married to the Hylian queen Sonia and a distant ancestor to the Zelda of the Era of the Wilds. He is also the younger brother of Mineru, the Sage of Spirit. In the distant future, Rauru's body is reduced to a right arm which holds Ganondorf in place until Zelda and Link arrive. When the two approach, his arm collapses, dropping his Secret Stone for Zelda to pick up and unwittingly use to travel back in time. When Ganondorf destroys Link's right arm, Rauru's spirit transplants his own arm onto Link's body, allowing Link to use ancient magic.
