Hylian

The chosen race of the gods. Hylians are an elf-like race of people who first established an ordered civilization in Hyrule. Hylians look like humans, the only difference appearence-wise is their ears. The Hylians' have long, sculpted ears that enable them to hear special messages. Hylians are often considered the leading race of Hyrule. As the chosen people, they are also given unique psychic and magical abilities. This has been demonstrated in several different ways over time.

Traditional Hyrulean dress is simple and functional. Men belt leather jerkins at the waist, and women slip into straight, ankle-length gowns. Although simple of design, Hyrulean dresses and tunics are often embellished with brightly colored, hand-stitched borders that make them look almost festive.

When working outside, Hyrulean men often wear broad-brimmed hats that protect them from sun and rain. Also, the men always wear sturdy, cuffed leather boots that reach to the knees. For the women, artisans craft delicate golden earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Images of Hyrulean legends are often included in the design.
