Hylian Knight is a ranking that members can achieve at the Zelda Dungeon forum. It signifies that these members are role models for newly registered members, and people that can be looked up to. Users are designated Hylian Knights by their purple user color on the Zelda Dungeon Forums.

However, once one is A Hylian Knight, they are expected to behave like one. This means that rule breaking or not obeying Hylian Knight duties may mean they can lose their rank. Hylian Knights have duties, which is why failure to obey them can have one's rank removed. Along the same lines as this, being good just to get the purple Hylian Knight color and then not obeying any duties will have it likely removed as well.

Duties and Privileges

Hylian Knights are not members of the Zelda Dungeon Forum staff, but they do play their part in trying to help improve the overall quality of the forum. Below is a list of duties and privileges that are involved with having a Hylian Knight Ranking.

  • Role Models - Newer or younger members of the forum can look up to Hylian Knights for advice on the ways of the forum.
  • Activity - There is no clear definition of what is considered active, but Hylian Knights are usually members who come by the forums a few times a week.
  • Rules - Hylian Knights are those that have a firm understanding of the rules and rarely ever break them.
  • Private Forum - Hylian Knights are members that have access to their own private forum which is not moderated.
  • Promotions - When the site is in need of new Arbiters, the forum staff looks specifically at Hylian Knights.

Current Hylian Knights

Currently Zelda Dungeon has 13 Hylian Knights but this number can be deceiving. All Arbiters, Moderators, Super Moderators, Administrators, and Webmasters are also considered to be Hylian Knights, but because of their higher ranking, they are not on this listing. Below is a listing of current Hylian Knights.

Below are a few users that are part of the Hylian Knight usergroup, but since they have a ranking already higher than it, Hylian Knight is shown as a secondary usergroup.

Previous Hylian Knights

While Zelda Dungeon is in its 3rd generation of forum communities, the Hylian Hero ranking was created within the 2nd generation. There were numerous Hylian Heroes at this time, of which only a select few went on to become Hylian Heroes at the 3rd generation of forums. Also, upon the launch of the 3rd generation of forums, most members that came from the old 2nd generation forums had automatically been given Hylian Hero, which at the time changed the significance. All this has made it a bit difficult to list who were all the previous Hylian Heroes, since some were removed during the 2nd generation forums, some never joined the 3rd generation forums, and some 3rd generation forum Hylian Heroes were since removed months ago.

How to become a Hylian Knight?

New Hylian Knights are chosen by all members who are already Hylian Knights, or those who are Zelda Dungeon Site or Forum staff members already. The criteria for becoming a Hylian Knight mainly has to do with the quality of posts the user makes, as well as how well they get along with the average user. Total number of posts and how long a user has been a member of forum are taken into account, but they are secondary factors. Asking to become a Hylian Knight actually decreases your chances of becoming one.

Near the end of each month, a ranked member can nominate a user to become a Hylian Knight. Just before the end of the month, these members are voted on in a simple 'Yay' or 'Nay' fashion. Then for those who are accepted, on the 1st of the month, they are promoted to their new status at the forums.
