The WW ending is little confusing...

SPOILERS!!!!!!!
ok. after Ganon gets a sword in his face theyre talking and stuff and the king tells them to find their "new land" then drowns with hyrule. but then at the end of the credits we see link siting in the King of Red Lions (aka the king of hyrule). but didnt he drown with hyrule forever? this is buging me. can anyone provide an explanation?

The King of Hyrule just sort of "possessed" the boat. He used it to comunicate with Link. So the boat was lifeless at the end (if you look closely, his eyes are closed). So it was just a regular boat.

Yeah exactly I think that the king of Hyrule probably had his soul attached to the boat so he was a ghost or was bound to Hyrule so he couldn't move so when Hyrule was destroyed he was set free so like he said the boat became normal so it was no longer able to talk or do anything except what a boat does didn't you notice that the boats eyes were closed and it was no longer alive

Obviously when you die its not like your bodie dissapears and could somone tell me where the game says that the boats the king of hyrule cause i dont remember that i keep hearing it but cant remember that happening in the game

Please try and use full stops, because I find it hard to read your posts, Celestial Link.
Yeah, the King of Red Lions is the King of Hyrule. He says that when you find out that Tetra is Zelda. The boats eyes are lifeless at the end scene of them sailing out to find a new Hyrule.

I believe we have sufficiently answered the question.

KoRL was the King of Hyrule, or at least possessed by him. After the King died, the boat returned to its original state, or at least lost what had given it "life."

Anyone else?

Did the boat talk in the end? No, which means that the king is dead. The boat is like a body, someone dies it becomes an empty shell.

I'm sure the King doesn't die. I allways looked at him as a spirit. I don't know.
He didn't float up.

The King probably just was covered by one of those air bubbles that Link and Tetra were in and swam away where no one could find him.

Hmm interesting question. I think the king's soul was attached to Hyrule somehow, it could only live as long as Hyrule lived. He could enter the boat and go above the ocean, which he did to watch over Tetra's line with the gossip stone, but while he was in the boat, it seems he couldn't see what's going on in Hyrule (or else he probably would have known Ganon had broken into the basement towards the end of the game.) When Hyrule was destroyed, the king no longer had a reason to linger in the world I suppose, plus the land he loved was gone and who would want to spend the rest of time trapped in a boat?

Uh, yeah. He's dead. *Calls off to Mods to lock this*

I was wondering that too!! My question is solved!!
But i do keep wondering how Link find the boat as he arrived with him at Hyrule it must be on the bottom of the ocean now...

Hmm.... if you recall the king is the one who gave the air bubbles to link and tetra.

Link tried to save him, but didn't so king=dead.

Oh! and doesn't zelda turn back into tetra at the end?

I think it's more like the King's spirit that lives within the King of Red Lions.

I read somewhere that the king was just a "particularly strong spirit". At least that explains how he could survive under the sea all that time.
