'''Donald Duck''' is a major supporting protagonist from the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series.

However, things take a turn for the worst when Heartless attack the hotel that Donald and the others are in (with Leon, [[Yuffie]] and Sora, the [[Keyblade wielder]] they have been searching for, in the next room). Donald and Goofy are about to go talk to Leon, but Yuffie dashes out of the room and crushes Donald with the door in her haste. Donald and Goofy arrive in the Third District, where they attempt to fight some Heartless, but are unable to defeat them, and a massive explosion sends them flying through the air and right on top of Sora, where they immediately recognize the Keyblade in his hand. However, before they have a chance to formally introduce themselves, they are attacked by a giant Heartless known as the [[Guard Armor]], starting a fight that they manage to win.

After the battle, the three introduce themselves. Donald and Goofy explain that they have been searching for Sora, and that if he travels with them, they can go search for the King as well as Sora's friends [[Riku]] and [[Kairi]]; however, Donald secretly tells Goofy that he doesn't know if they will find Sora's friends, but they need him either way if they expect to find the King. Donald proceeds to tell a depressed Sora to cheer up if he wants to come with them. Sora attempts to look happy, but only ends up making a fool of himself, much to Donald and Goofy's amusement. Nonetheless, Sora agrees to accompany them, and the three set off.

The trio then make their way back to Hollow Bastion, fighting their way through Heartless and sealing up the [[Final Keyhole]] opened up by the seven princesses. They then journey to the [[End of the World]], the home of the Heartless. There, they confront Ansem at the remains of [[Destiny Islands]], and then at the endless abyss, where the [[Door to Darkness]] that leads to [[Kingdom Hearts]] itself resides. After Ansem's defeat, Sora, Donald, and Goofy attempt to seal the door, but their efforts are futile.

But then, the King makes his appearance, wielding the Keyblade of the [[Realm of Darkness]]. With the two Keyblades and the assistance of Riku, the Door to Darkness is sealed, and the worlds are restored. However, the King and Riku are sealed in the Realm of Darkness, though the King leaves Donald and his companions with the knowledge that there will always be a door to the light.

The three, after Vexen had been eliminated by Axel, become separated once Sora's anger at the Organization's manipulations overcomes him. When Sora is caught off by Riku, who in turn is knocked unconscious by Naminé shattering Riku's memories apart, Donald and Goofy arrive to save Sora from Larxene and the trio defeat her. It is then that they learn of Naminé's true nature, as well as the fact that the Riku before them is only a [[Riku Replica|replica]] of the real person. Naminé tells them that she can restore their memories, but only after they defeat Marluxia, the lord of Castle Oblivion, who had been manipulating them the entire time they were in the castle. The three then travel to the 13th floor of Castle Oblivion. By this point, however, Donald and Goofy have forgotten about King Mickey, only recalling that they are looking for someone important.

As they make their way to Marluxia, the three also make an important promise: that no matter how far apart they are from each other, or if they have forgotten each other, they will always be friends. Using that promise as strength, they go on. The trio then confronts Axel and Marluxia, with Marluxia using Naminé as a human shield. Marluxia escapes, but the three manage to defeat Axel, and soon after chase down and defeat Marluxia. Naminé then leads them to [[pod]]s, where they can sleep while Naminé fixes their memories. Donald and Goofy say goodnight, and leave, while Sora and Naminé say goodbye.

Donald, like Sora and Goofy, has been asleep in special chambers to regain his lost memories. Donald is unknowingly visited by Roxas, Sora's [[Nobody]]. Donald and Goofy are the first to wake up out of the trio. Sora awakes soon after and is reunited with Donald and Goofy. The three encounter [[Hayner]], [[Pence]] and [[Olette]] when they enter [[Twilight Town]], and then a group of Nobodies at the train station, but are saved by the timely arrival of King Mickey, who sends them off to the tower of Yen Sid, who Donald greatly respects. The trio also encounter Pete at the tower.

Donald is overjoyed when he is reunited with King Mickey, practically leaping upon his king to hug him, eventually having to be pushed off by Mickey himself. During the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless|Battle of Hollow Bastion]], Mickey orders the trio to go search for Riku and Kairi and leave the Heartless to them. Sora is extremely reluctant to leave, so Donald and Goofy go against Mickey's orders and assist Sora in helping Leon and the others, apologizing to the king as they do so. When Goofy seemingly dies during the Battle of Hollow Bastion, Donald completely loses control of his rage and rushes off to destroy Heartless. Goofy later appears unharmed and an enraged Donald hits him in the kneecap with his staff, telling Goofy never to "scare me like that again!".

He is reunited with Sora and Riku when they return to Destiny Islands. The three of them share a joyful moment before Sora turns his attention to Kairi. After their long journey, Donald returns to Disney Castle with Goofy, Mickey, Pluto, his nephews, and Scrooge McDuck and is happily reunited with Daisy.

All the guardians arrive at the Keyblade Graveyard where they are greeted by Master Xehanort and the other members of the [[Real Organization XIII]] and are ambushed by a massive swarm of Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed. The trio battles the horde and comes out victorious and they quickly catch up to the other [[Guardians of Light]] coming face to face with [[Terra-Xehanort]]. The guardians are quickly overwhelmed, but gets staggered by Goofy and Donald uses a powerful Zettaflare spell to finish him off. As a result of using such a powerful spell, Donald collapses to the ground exhausted after using a lot of energy from that attack. All the guardians of light get swept away from a massive [[Demon Tide]] and Donald loses his heart from it, but Sora is able to save his heart as well as the other guardians of light that fell in battle. The guardians confront Terra-Xehanort but Terra's [[Lingering Will]] fights him and defends the guardians. Sora, Donald, and Goofy face off against a Demon Tide, which Sora manages to dispatch thanks to the help from the [[light]] of the past. Afterwards, [[Xigbar]] and [[Dark Riku]] come in to taunt the guardians before summoning another massive swarm of enemies. The guardians are overwhelmed, but then they're saved by Yen Sid who creates a path for all the guardians to advance though Donald and Goofy stay behind to defend Yen Sid.

Donald and Goofy and the other guardians catch up to Sora and find that Xehanort has summoned Kingdom Hearts and [[Darkness]] is quickly spreading. Mickey and Riku get the idea to trap Xehanort as he's a portal and finish him off. Sora takes up the job and Donald and Goofy go with him and with the help of the guardians, the trio crosses over into the portal and arrive at [[Scala ad Caelum]] for the final battle with Xehanort. The trio emerge victorious over the battle and are quickly rejoined by the other guardians. Xehanort gives Sora the [[χ-blade]] before passing on and Sora uses it to close Kingdom Hearts. The guardians return to the Keyblade Graveyard and Sora decides to go look for Kairi despite knowing the risks if he uses the Power of Waking too many times.

As seen in ''Kingdom Hearts III'', in truly desperate situations, Donald can channel all his magic into a powerful spell called {{nihongo|'''Zettaflare'''}}. However, the power of this attack leaves him very exhausted afterwards, to the point that he loses consciousness.

Donald is unlocked as a playable character in [[Mission Mode]], after being promoted to "Expert" rank on Day 225. He is one of the most inept characters in the game as he possesses the lowest [[stats]], however he boasts the highest magic power, exceeding [[Zexion]]'s. Donald's Limit Break is [[Fantasia]], which creates many colorful explosions that damage enemies.

===''Kingdom Hearts III''===

Donald also has several support abilities which allow him to maintain his MP, such as [[MP Haste]], [[Damage Syphon]], and [[Treasure Magnet]], along with team attack boosters such as [[More Team Attacks]] and [[Team Attack Extender]]. Since Blizzard and Aero work like in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]'', it means that even if he misses the enemies with these spells, he can still support Sora, as interacting with the icy trail and the tornado left by those spells will activate his [[Flowmotion]], allowing him to use Donald's magic to his own advantage. Although like in the previous games he has few HP and not many abilities that help his survivability, accessories like [[Star Medal]] which grant abilities such as [[Second Chance]] can greatly help him to stay alive.

Donald originally debuted in the 1934 Disney short ''The Wise Little Hen'', in which his self-centered nature is seen when he, along with his friend Peter Pig, fake stomach aches so they avoid physical work to help a hen with planting and harvesting her corn. Since then, Donald became popular in cartoons, alongside Mickey and Goofy.
