Hylians
Hylians are a fictional species that exist in the Legend of Zelda series of games. They are the most human-like creatures from the fictional world of Hyrule, in appearance and in character. However, they are sometimes mistaken for Dungeons & Dragons elves due to their long and pointed ears and use of magic. However, unlike elves, they are not immortal or haughty; their culture seems to be much more based on human culture then elvish culture. They tend to live in towns and forests, as opposed to the Zoras, who mainly live in water, or the Gerudo, who live in the desert. The series' hero, Link, and Zelda themselves are Hylians.
The term \"Hylian\" generally refers to a member of the Hylian race, who are capable of using magical abilities (though many Hylians don't use them). They have pointed pixie-like ears (which the Kokiri share), but other than that, they look just like humans (though they do have lighter skin). It is believed that these ears allow them to hear the gods and that they were created to tell the other races their message. According to the A Link to the Past manual, \"with their magic infused blood, the Hylian people were endowed with psychic powers and skill in wizardry. It was also said that they were held in high esteem by many people in Hyrule due to these special powers. Their descendants settled in various parts of the world and passed on their knowledge and magical lore to all people.\" The Royal Family of Hyrule is traditionally Hylian.
\"Hyrulean\", on the other hand, means from or related to the mythical land of Hyrule. Note that not all inhabitants of Hyrule are Hylian: only those with pointed-ears, such as Link, are Hylian. Unlike Hylians, Hyruleans are anyone who lives in Hyrule. The spelling \"Hyrulian\" was used interchangeably for \"Hyrulean\" by fans until Nintendo announced that the latter is the official and correct spelling. However, \"Hyrulian\" is still sometimes used.
In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, most Hylians principally live within the fortified walls of Hyrule Castle Town. Besides living in the bustling marketplace, other citizens of the kingdom inhabit territory outside of the protected city. Talon owns and lives in Lon Lon Ranch along with his daughter Malon and their ranch servant, Ingo. In southern Hyrule, Lake Hylia's two lone residents are the Lakeside Scientist and the Fisherman. The remaining Hylians dwell in the northern plateau hamlet of Kakariko Village.
During the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Hylians were the most common race in Hyrule. However, during The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Hylians are rarer. Also during this period, girls with pointed ears (Hylians) have been known to be kidnapped by giant birds, such as the Helmaroc King, which Ganondorf owned in Wind Waker. The status of the race in Twilight Princess is unknown as all villagers from Link's home have rounded ears. Other factors to consider are the festival in Hyrule and the fact that Link (the village's lone Hylian) was asked to be a representative of his village. This suggests that there are many Hylians or that other races provide the festival, respectively.
