The most common race in Hyrule, with long ears and fair hair. Their history dates back to the time of the second king when a large group of immigrants from beyond the borders settled in the Faron region. Their overall build is rather typical, and show variable talents in martial and magical pursuits, though often do not excel in any single one. Uniquely however, against all odds, they can surpass their own limits in dire moments, as if the goddesses themselves have blessed them.




Also called the first Hylians, they originate from the Highlands, also with long ears, the main difference with the common Hylian however is that Hylanders naturally have much hardier bodies. They are taller and physically more powerful. The ideal warrior. Over the years though they've mingled a lot with Hylians, and sometimes a Hylian may just simply be born larger and more powerful, so the true distinction is whether or not they were born as a Hylander in the Highlands or not, where their ancient warrior traditions are still practiced and observed.




The Sheikah are from a foreign land known as Hinoga, but were established by the first king’s closest aide in clandestine operations. Through many generations, they have mingled with Hylians from the shadows. They maintain a sharp appearance, and commonly sport white hair or red eyes, or both. As of moment, Sheikah are simply known as the peoples who live in Kakariko Village. A majority of Hyrule do not know of their shadowy protection of the Hyrule Royal Family.




The large, powerful, and very round peoples of the Eldin region have been historically very friendly with Hyrule, and it comes to no surprise they are rather welcoming. They are often seen as imposing due to their size and raw strength, and can turn into powerful balls to bowl down opponents. They however leave much to be desired as casters. The rocks on their backs also provide them with additional protection.




The Zora are a graceful, aquatic people, and it was not until the Scholar King, the fifth King of Hyrule that their relations improved to the state it is today, as prior they had mainly only traded, and nothing else. The Zora have a great emphasis on culture and the arts, favoring those who offer things of beauty and grace, or show prowess and skill in even martial arts. And it goes without saying that the magically inclined are welcome within their city.




Perhaps some of the most striking peoples, the Rito are a race of bird people, considered to be a rare sight, even compared to the Gerudo who are generally only ever seen as traders or mercenaries, but at the very least for them, some live outside of their home region. The Rito however do not, either traveling very often, or settled in Kholotto. Rito are known to be able to lunge into the air and stay there for awhile, and even fly.




From the Gerudo Desert comes the people where the land takes its name, a race almost exclusively made up of women, with only one male every couple generations. They typically have dark skin and flaming red hair, though sometimes they may have other colours of hair, albeit rare. Gerudo women are known to travel the land to find a suitable man to take home, though they do so as traders or mercenaries.
