Human



Human is the fanon name given to the human-like race that does not display the characteristics of the Hylians/Sheikahs (long ears) or the Gerudo (big nose) and in general seems to be identitical to real world-humans. They sometimes live together with Hylians in villages or towns, probably due to the many physical similarities the two races share.

The word "human" in the context of the The Legend of Zelda series has two meanings. The first one is as a collective name for all human-like races. Only with that meaning have the games used the word "human". To distinguish it from the second meaning, that of the officially nameless human-like race, "Humans" (with a capital) is sometimes used to refer to the specific race, while "humans" (without a capital) is used to refer to all human-like races.

Humans, according to the artwork, first appeared in The Legend of Zelda. From there on, it becomes foggy in which games Humans did appear and in which ones they didn't. Reasons for this are the similarities with Hylians, the lack of artwork clearly displaying Humans and, until The Wind Waker/Four Swords Adventures, the "troubled" graphics. They did appear in Link's Awakening and were heavily featured in the Oracle games.

Oracle of Ages & Seasons
The two games Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons featured two new lands: Labrynna and Holodrum. The "main" populations of these lands are not a Hylian ones, but Human ones.

The Minish Cap
Like usual, the Humans and Hylians live together peacefully in Hyrule Castle Town. Interestingly, there's also another group of humans in the game: the Wind Tribe. The ears of one of them are visible for a short period in the game and they appear to be round, suggesting that the people of the Wind Tribe are Humans.

Twilight Princess
In Twilight Princess, Link starts his adventure in Ordon Village. Apart from Link, all of Ordon Village inhabitants are Humans.

Coro (sells lantern oil), Iza (runs boat rental shop), and Hena (runs the Fishing Hole) are three siblings that also appear to be Humans.
