The Hylians are the prodominant race of Hyrule, and Termina. They were created in the image of the goddesses. They had long, pointy ears, and are usually pretty slender. (There are the few exceptional well, over weight Hylians) They have extremley great magical abilities, including telepathy, and the ability to hear the deities. The Hylian people are also known for having great talents for potion making,casting spells, and swordsman ship. They control all the trade routes through out Hyrule. Hyrule Kingdom mostly conducts their business with The Zoras and Gorons, which are usually major allies, even though they tend to disagree time to time. The Hylains are also very fond of games. They enjoy playing anything challenging games that test their skills.

Sheikah are the guardians of Hyrule. They are also the Bodyguard of The Royal Family. They used to live in Kakiriko Village until Impa (a famous member of the Sheikah tribe) opened it up to all of Hyrule. The Sheikah use a range of weapons. Such as Deku Nuts, these act like smoke bombs, these are often used to create a distraction so they can run or hide. They also use Short swords which they use to defend themselves more then to fight someone. The Sheikah are a very mysterious people. One way to distingush a Sheikah is by their red eyes, or their clothing. Many of the Sheikah died out in the Unification War which was fought before Ocarina of Time took place.

The Twili were once a group of people that roamed throughout Hyrule. They were sent to the Twilight Realm by the sages because they tried to take the Triforce by using Fused Shadows. But the Gods were too strong. They then became banished and the Fused Shadows were seperated throughout the two realms.

The Gerudo are a race made up of mainly women. It's said that they have one male born every hundred years. They are a fierce tribe of theives and pirates. They carry scimiters, swords, and bows and arrows. In Ocarina of Time they guard the entrence into the Gerudo Desert, and in Majora's Mask they guard their Fortress located in Great Bay.

The Zuna are an Arabian looking race. They in habit the Desert of Doubt in Four Swords Adventures. They are also believed to be descendent of the people that built the Desert of Doubt Pyramid. They live in tents with giant flowers on top of them.

The Kokiri are a tribe of kids. They never grow up and are always with their personal Fairy. The Fairies and the Kokiri work together and the Fairies help guide the Kokiri through life since they don't have any parents. The Kokiri always are wearing green. The Kokiri also love to hear stories from the Great Deku Tree. Their leader, Mido, is a very stuck up boy. In The Wind Waker, a sage named Fado was the last of the Kokiri.

Koroks are thought to be descendent from the Kokiri tribe. The Koroks have wooden bodies (like the Deku Scrubs) and leaves for their faces. They move around by using leaf like gliders, and they also use leaves as umbreallas. The Koroks like the Kokiri all live near the Great Deku Tree. The Koroks hold a special ceremony every year. The Koroks take seeds to individual islands, plant them, and take care of them until they grow.

The Minish (or Picori as they are known by the rest of Hyrule) are super small mice-like beings. They are so small that no adult can see them. It is said that only small children can see Minish. The Minish are also responsible for small, kind deeds that happen every now and then. This benifits Hylians and Minish both, so its a win-win situation. Minish also place Rupees through out the land of Hyrule.

Deku Scrubs are a small wooden shrub-like race. They can be very defensive, you can tell this when you see a Deku nut being shot out at you. Deku Srubs also like to use Deku Flowers as cover from their Enimies. They can also use these as trampoline like objects to shoot themselves up from out of the ground. Deku Scrubs are also salesmen, not very good ones, but none the less. I wouldn't suggest their services, because just to get them to sit down and talk buisness you have to fight them by reflecting their Deku nut back at them, and then once you have deafeated them they'll usually offer you something to buy, but usually they'll rip you off.

The Tokay Live on Tokay Island. Link discovers this Lizard like race in Oracle of Ages. They are an Islander tribe that instead of using currency they like to barter. They have a large intrest in Mystical seeds. They usually use these to barter with due to their lack of currency. As Link advances through time it seems that the Tokay start to evolve. One example is how they turned a house into a museum.

The Rito are a bird like race that dwell on Dragon Roost Island. They are the mailmen of the Great Sea. The Rito race aren't always born with wings. They have to go through a ritual. This is were they go and take a scale off of the Sky Spirit, Valoo. Many of their clothing suggest they are desendent from the great Zora race.

Fairies are very helpful litte guides/healers. Great Fairies inhabit caves and fountains through out Hyrule, Holodrum, Terminia, Koholint, Labrynna, and the Great Sea. They will always replinish your health, and award you with up-grades if you help them out. Normal Fairies are usually guides. They help you figure out puzzles, and point out things that you never would have seen.

Subrosians are small, strange robe wearing folk. They enjoy lava baths, dancing, and boomerangs. The Subrosians don't use the normal currency most Hyruleans use, but instead use Ore chunks which can be found almost anywhere in Subrosia. The Subrosians can be very secretive, and like to play games.

They have rock hard backs.(Literally rock hard) They can fold into little balls and roll at very high speeds, to escape from enemies, or as a form of entertainment. But when they want to defend themselves they can pack a mean punch. They may be slow, but they're very powerful. The like to feed on rocks. They are skilled blacksmith, and bomb makers. They also sell hot spring water. They normally dwell inside Caves. Usually these caves have lava near or in them, since the Gorons mostly live in a cold atmosphere.

Anouki are an Inuit- (Eskimo) like tribe with antlers that come out of their hood. Their enemies are the Yook, but they made a peace agreement 100 years pior to Phantom Hourglass.

The Yook are Yeti like animals that carry big wooden clubs. They use to fight bitterly with the Anouki but reached a peace agreement, or so it would seem. They are vulnerable by bombs and Link's sword. These guys are very, very defensive.
