The Hylians are a humanoid race distinguished by their large, pointed ears. They were first introduced in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' as an ancient race whose culture is the basis of many legends within the game. ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', set as the prequel to ''A Link to the Past'', was the first game to feature Hylian characters, including Link and Zelda. | The Hylians are a humanoid race distinguished by their large, pointed ears.

The origins of the race are revealed in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', in which the goddess [[Hylia]] is reincarnated as the human maiden Zelda. Her innate divinity lives on in the blood of her descendants, the [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]] of [[Hyrule]] and the Hylian race at large.

After them were the [[Kokiri]], who left for the forests, not wanting to industrialise with the mainstream Hylians. The [[Great Deku Tree]]'s aura means they remain childlike indefinitely. Later on, the Kokiri became [[Korok]]s. On top of that, Hylian males can crossbreed with [[Gerudo]] to create more Gerudo. Some Hylian men marry Zora women, but presumably | Some other races evolved from Hylians. The [[Wind Tribe]] were the first to, after migrating to the sky. They bear some resemblance to [[Groose]].
