    Default What is Link's race?

    Most people think he is an elf, Tingle seems to think he is a fairy, and Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask makes mention that he is human. But if he is human, what's up with his ears?

    Hylian is made up? Are we talking about for real life or just the game? Because if real life then yeah. I'm pretty sure it's an actual fictional race though.

    And yeah, he would be Hylian.

    An actual fictional race? Isn't that an oxymoron? Or is it meta fiction?

    Well I speaking more along of it's an actual race in Hyrule, and since Hyrule is fictional, that would seem like it would make it an actual fictional face within the not real world.

    Ok. Link is, as Josh and Zero both said, a Hylian. Hylians are a fictional species invented by Nintendo. They are human-like in appearance, except for the pointy ears. They also are very skilled in armed combat, and some of them are able to use magic. Here is an article about them at Zelda Wiki

    Hylian is the name of his race,but he's still human.
    Example Asians are the name of a race of people,but they are still called humans.

    "Human" is a race, "Hylian" would probably be a nationality

    Just because Link may be of a different denomination of races or whatnot doesn't mean he can't be an human. He obviously has the typical characteristics of a average human, save for the ears.

    I suppose I'll just go with "humanoid".

    Asians isn't a race, it's a nationality. Trying to separate human beings into different "races" was just the thing Hitler did, my friend. The Human, Homo sapiens, is a race. And Link would be a Hylian, not a human.
