Humans are a race in the. Unlike the Hylians, who are more prolific and possess wide, pointed ears, Humans have rounded ears and are much less commonly seen in the series. Human may also be a term sparsely mentioned in the series, which more often than not applies to Hylians, at least in the case with, but would also seem to be a wider umbrella term that includes others outside of the group as well.

Humans are seldom seen in the Zelda series, as Hylians and other humanoid races dominate the land of Hyrule. Round-eared Humans, however, do occasionally appear and seem to thrive in lands that exist outside of Hyrule, including Koholint Island, Labrynna, Holodrum, certain islands in the Great Sea and World of the Ocean King, the Ordona Province, and Hytopia.

The Gerudo are another race of humanoids who generally possess round ears, but are otherwise distinct from ordinary Humans.

Characteristics
Humans are for the most part identical to Hylians, with the sole exception being their small, rounded ears in contrast to the Hylians' pointed ears. As it is often said that the Hylians' long ears allow them to hear the voice of the gods, it can be assumed that Humans do not possess this same ability. The origins of Humans and their relationship to Hylians is never quite elaborated in the series, and indeed, round-eared Humans are never given any specific name in the games.

Humans are seldom seen in contrast to the more prolific, dominating Hylian race. Nonetheless, round-eared Humans do still occasionally appear across the series, and are often especially populous in lands that exist outside of Hyrule. Labrynna, Holodrum, Ordon Village, and Hytopia are notable places whose populations consist almost entirely of round-eared Humans. Indeed, round ears are so commonplace to Hytopia that pointed ears are seen as something of a rarity, enough to be one of the prerequisites for being a Tri Force Hero of legend.

Link's Awakening
Round-eared Humans first made their appearance in, in which all of the people living on Koholint Island have round ears, making Link the only Hylian to reside on the island during his stay. They mostly live in Mabe Village, but several others also live in remote houses across the isle. Tarin is a notable Human in this game, whose round ears are clearly visible in his artwork.

Oracle Series
Humans predominately live in Labrynna of and Holodrum of. Nearly the entire population of these lands consist of round-ears Humans, with only the three Oracles having pointed-ears. Interestingly, a number of characters who were Hylians in other games now appear as Humans with round ears, including the Happy Mask Salesman, the Head Carpenter and his assistants, Mamamu Yan and the Postman of Labrynna, and Guru-Guru, Malon, Talon and Ingo of Holodrum.

Twilight Princess
In, Humans predominately live in the Ordon Village of the Ordona Province, which is said to not be a part of Hyrule proper. Link is the only Hylian to live in the village. Although while Humans are most populous to the Ordona Province, a couple of round-eared Humans also live within the kingdom of Hyrule, including Barnes of Kakariko Village, Hena and Iza of Zora's River, and their brother Coro living in the Faron Woods.

Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland
In, Tingle was originally a Human before meeting Uncle Rupee and turned into a Tingle with the promise of going to Rupeeland, giving him his pointed ears and distinctive green suit. Rupeeland is also predominately home to round-eared Humans as well; only a very few Hylians live in this land.
