Trump is calling for TikTok to be 50% US government owned

And by him being a hyrule I mean him being a member of the hyrulean royal family, whose last name just happens to be hyrule.
"I was King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule"- The Old Man (Botw)
A funny tidbit, but that could be why "Hyrule" chose his name (aside from him being the "Hero of Hyrule" of course). However, I think there is actually substantial evidence in the games to suggest that hyrule could actually be "Link Hyrule", descendant of the hyrulean royal family and "blood of the goddess".
Before we get into everything, let's make a quick list of what we know about Hyrule and his hyrule:
About Hyrule
Parents??? We know nothing about them, it's possible that hes been on his own for a while and never knew them (According to nintendo, he is 12 in Zelda I)
Obviously, he bears the spirit of the hero
He can cast magic without the use of any items
He has in the past and possibly in the present possessed the entire Triforce
About his Hyrule
After the Gold Era (legend's games basically) Hyrule entered the "Era of Decline". Exactly what this encaptures is not expressed by nintendo, but it can assumed that Hyrule was thrown into chaos and that things got pretty bad.
It is literally a wasteland
So throughout Zelda 2, it is stated that Hyrule's blood is needed to resurrect ganon. Think is kind of odd, because in none of the other games is the Heros blood a requirement in the resurrection of ganon. What IS frequently a requirement for Ganons resurrection is the sacrifice of Zelda (which is to say her blood). We can see this occur with the resurrection of Ganon in a Link to the Past.
The thing that all the Zeldas share and what I assume to be what makes thier blood so valuable is thier being "the blood of the goddess" AKA descendants of Hylia (Sky's Zelda). Therefore, the reason that Ganons minions would need Hyrules blood is not because it's the blood of the hero, but because it's the blood the goddess.
So, Hyrule is the only one the boys who can do magic without it being given to him or having to use an item. We see time use some magic, but all of his abilities are either channeled through his masks or were given to him by the sages in Ocarina of Time.
Time is given Dins fire in the Fire Temple (OOT)
Legend and Four regularly use magic, but only through items such as the four sword and fire rod.
Hyrule however, learns magic. His ability to do magic is innate and doesnt require any items. The only other characters I can think of who use magic like this are the zeldas and a couple of antagonists.
Most of the antagonists are either not hyrulean (such as Vaati, who is a minish and thus associated with magic) or associated with Ganon somehow, who can probably give them access to magic in some way.
So that leaves the Zeldas... who are descended from Hylia and thus have magic. Since Hyrule is hyrulean and definitely not in league with Ganon that just leaves the last option... being a descendant of Hylia and member of the royal gang.
At the end of a Link to the Past, Legend gains access to the whole triforce after defeating Ganon. He wishes on it and then it splits apart again, because he is not it's natural wielder. The hero is only the natural wielder of courage.
However, when Hyrule collects the whole triforce it stays with him. Why? If both Hyrule and Legend have the spirit of the hero, then why is Hyrule worthy of keeping the triforce and Legend not? Because Hyrule is natural weilder of both the triforce of courage as the incarnation of the hero and the triforce of wisdom as the blood of the goddess. The triforce of wisdom historically belongs to the zeldas, so it can be assumed that it is bound to the blood of the goddess. As for the triforce of power, it is often "taken" by Ganon. Since its nature is power, it would make sense for it to align itself with whoever seeks it (it being purest incarnation of power) out. Since Hyrule sought it out and took it, it chose to align with him.
In Breath of the Wild, we see that Flora also wields the entire triforce. (Evident by all 3 glowing pieces)
It is stated that this is a power passed down to her from her family. But the royal family has only ever passed down the triforce of wisdom not the whole thing... unless she had some potential ancestor with royal blood who some how assembled the whole thing and couldve passed it down thier family lineage...
There is something of a resemblance between them... or as much as there could be over 10,000 years.
Round baby face
Green Eyes (I'm pretty sure Hyrule has green eyes)
Although it's not clear what exactly happened during the era of decline, it is clear that things were looking bad for Hyrule. It is entirely possible that as the Kingdom declined, the hyrulean monarchy could've lost power and eventually been displaced. This would have led to thier descendants eventually blending into the populace.
So uh yah that's the theory!! I haven't played all of the games so I may have gotten some things slightly wrong. I doubt this is actually true do its probably more of a headcanon than a theory. This is my first contribution to this fandom though so yay!!
May add to this if I get more info!
i cant find you

Cute little comic idea that I have for ww tetra/zelda and Ganondorf where its that one scene where Ganondorf is sitting next to her while Zelda’s in bed and she just asks “Do you think in some other lifetime we would’ve been friends?” And then Ganondorf pauses for a brief moment imagining all the scenarios of both him and Tetra being pirates and thieves and just simply answers “no” as he tucks Zelda in to bed.
As we see a barrage of evil executive orders come in, they are not immediately enforceable and will takes months or years to implement.
That’s still not great, but don’t let these pile up to the point of hopelessness. Take a breath, and look community leaders who will fight it every step of the way.
Thinking about that time Hawkeye spent with the Bradley's as hostage for months(!) :]
