| − | The '''Hylians''' are a race of [[human]]s from the countries of [[Skyloft]], [[Hyrule]] and the latter's flooded counterpart, the [[Great Sea]]. While it is unlikely that the people of [[Termina]], a parallel world to the Kingdom of Hyrule, are also known as Hylians, they are their parallels. Descended from the people who lived among the goddess [[Hylia]] long prior to the establishment of Hyrule as a kingdom, they are a magic race with pointed ears who have inherited the blood, powers and abilities of their ancient ancestors. The most famous Hylians are the [[Link|many heroes]] and [[Princess Zelda|princesses]] that share the same name as one another, the latter being of blood relation and naming tradition. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hylians were the first race to establish organized civilization in ancient Hyrule many years after the events of {{SS}} upon the world formerly known only as the Surface. In {{TP}}, the [[Oocca]] are said to have aided them.<ref>{{cite|Yes, according to legend, Hyrule was made by the Hylians, who, as we all know, are the closest race to the gods...truth be told, there's also a theory saying that in ancient times there was a race even closer to the gods than the Hylia people, and THEY created it. And they, simultaneously with the birth of the Hylia people, created a new capital, a capital that floated in the heavens.|Shad|TP}}</ref> Unlike several other races in the series, Hylians tend to live in highly populated towns or villages such as [[Hyrule Castle Town]], [[Kakariko Village]] and [[Village of the Blue Maiden]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Hylian Countries and Settlements== |
||
| − | ===Skyloft=== |
||
| − | {{main|Skyloft}} |
||
| − | When the homeland of the Hylians was under a massive assault by [[Demon|demonic hoards]], they were separated from the [[Hyrule|Surface]] for thousands of years by Hylia in an attempt to protect them. Living above the clouds on a separate outcrop of earth, they named the safe haven Skyloft. In the sky, the new society flourished in peace and the majority of the Skyloft populace remained ignorant of the ravaged world below the clouds until the events of ''Skyward Sword''. It can be assumed that a portion of Skyloft's population flew down and repopulated the Surface after the events in ''Skyward Sword'', leading to the Hylian establishment of the Kingdom of Hyrule seen in future games.<ref>{{cite|Look around us! As a child, I always dreamed of a world below. I wanted to see the surface with my own eyes and feel the land's warm breeze on my skin. I... I think I want to live here. I always want to feel solid ground beneath my feet, see the clouds above my head, and watch over the Triforce.|Zelda|SS}}</ref> |

| − | |||
| − | ===Hyrule=== |
||
| − | {{main|Hyrule}} |
||
| − | The most prominent and major home of the Hylians is the iconic Kingdom of Hyrule, formerly the nameless Surface. It is where the ancestors of the Hylians, the people who lived among the goddess Hylia, resided during the [[Zelda Timeline#The Era of the Goddess Hylia|Era of the Goddess Hylia]]. Living among Her Grace in the unnamed land, they had magical powers that passed down to their descendants. When a massive war broke out across the Surface and the goddess took up battle with the demon king [[Demise]], she sent the human survivors into the sky on the outcrop of earth that became known as Skyloft. It is not until after they rediscover the Surface thousands of years later that the Kingdom of Hyrule is established by [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Hylia's descendants]] and becomes the home of the Hylian race once more. Hyrule faces several subsequent invasions, namely at the hands of [[Ganon]], an incarnation of Demise's hatred.<ref>{{cite|Though this is not the end. My hate... never perishes. It is born anew in a cycle with no end! I will rise again. Those like you... Those who share the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero... They are eternally bound to this curse. An incarnation of my hatred shall ever follow your kind, dooming them to wander a blood-soaked sea of darkness for all time!|Demise|SS}}</ref> The Hylians are able to suppress these attacks through their [[Hyrule#Military|military]]; their legendary hero, Link; and, occasionally, [[Golden Goddesses#Interventions in Hyrule|divine intervention]]. However, the events of {{TWW}} spell an end to Hyrule in the [[Adult Timeline]].<ref>{{Cite|Gods of the Triforce! Hear that which I desire! . . . Wash away this ancient land of Hyrule! Let a ray of hope shine on the future of the world!!!|[[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]]|TWW}}</ref> Sunk beneath the [[Great Sea]], ancient Hyrule is lost forevermore in that branch of the [[Zelda Timeline|timeline]].<ref>{{cite book|quote= The curtain thus fell in the cyclical history of the sacred realm of Hyrule and the struggle for the Triforce.|book= [[Hyrule Historia]]|publisher= Dark Horse Books|page= 129}}</ref> Following its destruction, [[Tetra]] and the [[Hero of Winds]] travel to another continent and establish [[New Hyrule]].<ref>{{cite book|quote= Hyrule vanished, and the pirates welcomed back Princess Zelda, who had once again become Tetra the pirate.

| − | ====Hylian Settlements==== |
||
| − | '''[[Hyrule Castle]]''' appears in several incarnations and is the home of the Hylian monarch.<br> |
||
| − | '''[[Hyrule Castle Town]]''' is the capital of Hyrule and the main settlement of the Hylian people. It is never seen too far a distance from the castle.<br> |
||
| − | '''[[Kakariko Village]]''' is the former home of the [[Sheikah]] tribe, but eventually was opened up to the Hylian race to make residence.<br> |
||
| − | '''[[Village of the Blue Maiden]]''' is home to numerous Hylians.<br> |
||
| − | '''[[Lon Lon Ranch]]''' is home to the Hylians known as [[Malon]], [[Talon]] and [[Ingo]], who provide much of the kingdom's source of milk and farming.<br> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Great Sea=== |
||
| − | {{main|Great Sea}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Hylians inhabiting the Great Sea are spread out onto several islands, but live most prominently on the islands [[Outset Island]] and [[Windfall Island]]. They appear to be more advanced in the use of technology, including the [[Pictobox]] and the use of [[submarine]]s. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Termina=== |
||
| − | {{main|Termina}} |
||
| − | The Hylians from Termina live, like their {{OOT}} counterparts, in a big, central [[Clock Town|city]]. There is only one significant difference between the Hylians from Hyrule and the ones from Termina: magic and technology. While the Hylians from Hyrule are magic-users, the Terminan Hylians focus on technology and seem to care or know little, if any, for the sacred [[Triforce]] and the [[Golden Goddesses|Three Goddesses]]. Instead, they honor the [[Four Giants]], the gods who shaped Termina and continue to guard it. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Traits== |
||
| − | ===Physical Appearance=== |
||
| − | Hylians traditionally have pointed ears, and generally have blue or blue-grey eyes and light skin, although the ethnicity as a whole has a wide degree of variation. The lower classes usually wear casual clothing; Hylian males tend to wear belt leather jerkins, and females wear long gowns in many different colors;<ref>{{Cite book|quote= Traditional Hyrulean dress was simple and functional. Men belted leather jerkins at the waist, and women slipped into straight, ankle-length gowns.|book= The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide|publisher= [[Nintendo]]|page=64}}</ref> Hyrulean symbols are often part of the embroidery in their dresses. Tall buns are common in women, while men of the working class usually wear broad-brimmed hats in order to protect their skin from the sun and the rain.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= When working outside, Hyrulean men often {{Typo|word|wore}} broad-brimmed hats that protected them from the sun and the rain.|book= The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide|publisher= [[Nintendo]]|page=64}}</ref> Some men also wear knee-length leather boots.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= The men always wore sturdy, cuffed leather boots that reached to their knees.|book= The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide|publisher= [[Nintendo]]|page=64}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | It has been observed that the higher classes including royalty wear complex and luxurious jewelry including precious metals and gemstones such as gold and rubies. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Culture=== |
||
| − | Hylians have a [[Wikipedia:Middle Ages|medieval]] theme to them which fits to the medieval setting of the series, especially in the case of earlier games. Many architectural elemements seen in the series greatly resemble architecture from the medieval times. Clothing styles vary but are mainly consistent with the overall medieval theme. Unlike most other races, Hylians are a predominantly urban race. This, however, by no means suggests that Hylians are not seen elsewhere, as many people seen living on farms and other comparable non-urban locations have been Hylian. Hylians are shown to have ranging professions, varying from farmers to merchants and bartenders. In addition, Hylians are known of being highly superstitious, having a rich mythology and many legends. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Magical Abilities === |
||
| − | One of the few known abilities that the Hylian people possess is the use of their pointed ears to receive special messages from the gods themselves.<ref>{{cite manual|quote=It was also said that their long, pointed ears enabled them to hear special messages from the gods.|game=A Link to the Past|page=4}}</ref> This also includes the ability to send telepathic messages to other Hylians across time and space. This is an ability that continues to get passed unto their children, their children's children and so on.<ref name="Guide">{{Cite book|quote=The Hylians's long ears enabled them to hear special messages and as the chosen people, they were also given special psychic and magical abilities that they in turn passed on to their descendants. Their extraordinary ears allowed them to not only hear the faintest sounds around them, but also words telepathically transmitted over time and space by other Hylians.|book= The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=64}}</ref> [[Sahasrahla]] and an incarnation of [[Princess Zelda]] display this particular ability in {{ALTTP}}, the former being able to communicate to [[Link#A Link to the Past|Link]] across even the void between dimensions to assist the young hero in his quest. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Another special ability of the Hylians is their use of magic in musical notes that can aid in fast-forwarding time from day to night and night to day ([[Sun's Song]]), summon instant storms ([[Song of Storms]]) and allow teleportation to specific locations throughout the Kingdom of Hyrule. |
