| - Prince Ertegun of Gerudo Valley was a descendant of the Dark Lord Ganondorf, and the crown prince of Gerudo Valley. Ertegun was very power-hungry since an early age, and foolishly aligned himself with Davik in order to take over the country of Hyrule. Ertegun created a treaty and bewitched the king and his Royal Council to sign it, but had a difficult time convincing Zelda. Ertegun eventually forced Zelda to sign the treaty and assassinated the king, leaving the throne open to him. However, despite now holding the throne, Ertegun now faced the threat of Link, the Hero of Time who sought to avenge his younger brother Kyrin. Ertegun went on a manhunt for Link, eventually luring him to Hyrule Castle in order to use him for a ritual that he believed would grant him the power of the Triforce. He succeeded in completing the ritual, but Link and Zelda escaped. Unfortunately for Ertegun, his lust for power proved to be his downfall. The ritual had all been part of Davik's plan to resurrect Ganon and end the Cycle of Eternity. Ganon, his soul embedded in Ertegun's body, took him over and killed him, allowing the Dark Lord to rise again.
