Sorry Kokiri, but someone had to be snubbed.










I'm aware that Hylians, Gerudo, and Sheikah are all like humans or whatever, but I think they're distinct enough.

Why are humans not on here?

Most Links are human, only OoT, SS, ALttP, and TP are Hylian.

There is an actual human race...

By the time of OoT there are some humans, but most are Hylian. When you get to TP, there are hardly any Hylians left at all. And by the time of ALttP (admittedly different timeline) there are enough to be counted on your hands maybe. The maidens aren't even Hylians.

Ears is the viewable difference. Magic would be the other large one.

Some people have said on forums before that most Hylians also have much softer jaw lines, and more feminine body types, not as hard bodied.... But admittedly, I have never cared remotely enough to go through and check that out.

One could easily argue that Gerudo, Hylian, and Sheikah are more or less the same race, like we are all the human race, and that the differences would be like our color races.... Because unlike humans, Gerudo, Hylian and Sheika can all do magic and have the same ears.

ok, but I feel like more than you listed have pointy ears. Like why wouldn't BotW and Wind Waker Link be Hylian?

I had and a few others originally.

But I'll actually admit I'm wrong on this either way. I just checked the 25th official art, and they have all the Links (even LoZ and AoL) with the ears.... Which makes no sense at all, Hylians are well extinct by that time. I guess since he's a reincarnation of the original hero, he gets to be Hylian even though there is no way he can actually have Hylian blood possible anymore....

All the Zeldas are apparently Hylian too. Even when they should all be long dead.

So, the ONLY reason I can think of that Zelda and Link keep being Hylian, is because the ears were used to be able to hear the gods. Since we know the Triforce can talk from ALttP, and they have the Triforce in them..... maybe you have to be Hylian to actually use the Triforce, I don't know, nothing else makes sense, since the gods are of course long long gone by now, haven't been seen to do anything in Hyrule since the Flood in one timeline, and before OoT in the others.

the wiki makes it seem like humans are barely in the series

http://zelda.gamepedia.com/Human

it also has this trivia The Street Merchant in A Link to the Past is the first round-eared Human to appear in the series, as indicated by his noticeably round ears.


where does the idea that Hylians go extinct at some point come from?

Ok, so I'm not alone, knew I wasn't crazy.

https://zeldauniverse.net/forums/Thread/181052-Breath-of-the-Wild-s-Timeline-Placement-Theories-SPOILERS/?pageNo=167 (There are 250+ pages, feel free not to read it all, lol).



So anyway, apparently ALttP manual says they are extinct, and Hyrule Historia as well (I don't remember that)

The dude theorizes that the Hylian traits were dominant physical traits, and that's why the ears become more prominent among humans. So you have Hylian descendants who are humans, but they can't utilize magic or hear the gods, which is what separated Hylians from the humans. Also makes sense that magic meters predomininately appear on one timeline, hence Link being human most of the time. Just going by what I'm reading after a bit of research the last 10 minutes on this one though.

Wind Waker I'd guess. The Helmaroc King was tasked to kidnap all the girls with pointed ears that it could find, implying that pointed ears wasn't a particularly common or universal trait and that humans more than Hylians survive in the world, or have at least most likely eliminated pure lines of the Hylian race through breeding.

Well, that and they are unquestionably called extinct in ALttP manual. So that is at least 2 timelines that hints at them being gone, or outright says it.

Best Zelda race. Down to the wire.

Or perhaps this one.

Officially, the first has a closer time differential, but the latter has a better finish.
