Hyro

The Malhyro ( ,King) or Selhyro (, Queen, later Selohn, , or Princess) is the high monarch of the Kingdom of Hyrule and its predecessor, Akkala.

Etymology
The root word for the monarch, Hyro, means a ruler or leader of a good nature. Mal and Sel are male and female pronouns, respectively.

History
The first recognized Malhyro of Akkala was Rhoaban Gustaf I, who united the independent Houses of Akkala under his single rule to defeat Sulkaris and the Gohma in 3003 BG. In this period, Akkala was highly patriarchal, with all titles of rulership held by men. Following the assassination of Rhoaban in 2991 BG, and the devastating Akkalan Civil War that followed, the ascension of the Goddess Hylia Nohansen as Queen of Akkala in 2986 BG led to a complete reversal. Ever since the title of monarch being governed by female-preference primogeniture, with the crown traditionally passing to the eldest daughter. Regardless, the Hylian throne has traditionally been a gender-neutral position, with both women and men serving as monarch. In the event of a reigning monarch's death, their spouse assumes the throne as regent until the time a blood heir reaches adulthood. Such royal spouses are typically adopted from prominent noble lines or famous military generals.
