Human

Humans are a race of people that live in the land of Hyrule during the time of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Humans look identical to Hylians; the only physical difference is the structure of their ears.

The Humans have short, rounded ears as opposed to the long pointed ears of the Hylians. Once an obscure race during the era of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask they would one day come to replace Hylians as the leading race of Hyrule. As the blood and magical abilities of the Hylians began to run thin over time the Human race would slowly rise to power as the Hylian race began to fade from history. By the time of The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Hylians were an exceedingly rare race to find.

Although Humans populate many areas on the earth, the largest single concentration of Humans during the time of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess live in the secluded province of Ordon in the deep south of Hyrule.

It should be noted that most of the characters in Twilight Princess refer to Hylians as Human. For example, Midna usually refers to Link as Human, and almost no one even mentions the term "Hylian".
