{{about|the character from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|the dog with the same name|[[Richard (dog)]]}}
'''Richard''' is a prince who lives in [[Pothole Field]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''. He made his debut appearance as the main protagonist of the [[Game Boy]] title, ''{{wp|Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru}}'', released exclusively in Japan. Richard's latest depiction in the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] shows him wearing a light blue suit, white pants, and a white cape. Richard originally had black hair, but the Nintendo Switch remake shows him having dark blue hair.

==History==
===''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening''===
In ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'', Richard once owned and lived in [[Kanalet Castle]], but his servants rebelled against him and he was driven out, leaving behind his prized [[Golden Leaf|Golden Leaves]]. Because of this, Richard went south of Kanalet Castle to a place named Pothole Field where he built his own house, [[Richard's Villa]].

When [[Link]] first encounters Richard, he tells Link that tells him that he needs a key in order to enter [[Key Cavern]]. If Link still has [[Chain Chomp|BowWow]] with him, Richard urges him to take it away before they start talking. Richard explains to Link about his situation and how he lost his Golden Leaves. He promises to give Link the [[Slime Key]], allowing him to enter Key Cavern, in exchange for retrieving the Golden Leaves. Link travels to Kanalet Castle and gathers all of the Golden Leaves. After doing so and returning to Richard, he thanks Link and shows him a passageway to the Pothole Field behind his house. Link finds his way through the field and unearths the Slime Key. 

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]'', when Link approaches the gate of Kanalet Castle, both the [[photographer]] and Richard come to see him. The photographer then takes a picture of Link and Richard, who are standing in front of the gate, to add into [[The Travels of Link]] album.

===''Hyrule Warriors Legends''===
In ''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]'', as part of the ''[[Link's Awakening Pack]]'' DLC, [[Ghirahim]]'s Standard Outfit (Koholint) is a recolor of his Standard Outfit, and its colors are based on Richard's outfit. Ghirahim's outfit appears as two [[Fairy Clothing]] options for [[Companion Fairy|Companion Fairies]], the [[Prince's Cape]] and [[Prince's Trousers]].
