Legend of zelda races:
If any of you wanted to use a character from a race that were actually from Hyrule, but don't know what your options are, here it is. A full list.
Deku - The Deku race consists of several species of plant-like humanoids. Deku have leaves on their heads where humans would have hair. They often have red, glowing eyes, and their mouths are short, hollow tubes. Deku are capable of skipping on the surface of bodies of water for awhile, though they will eventually sink. Dekus habitually shoot large nuts out of their mouths, as a form of protection. Deku's bodies are comprised entirely of wood and leaves; they perish quickly if set on fire. Deku are sometimes seen flying, though their flying methods are somewhat varied. Deku are rather territorial, pelting those who approach their hiding places with Deku Nuts. They are typically fearful creatures, and will hide or run from any potential threat that is not halted by their nut-spitting defenses. Anyone who becomes lost in the Lost Woods will eventually turn into a Deku Scrub.
Gorons are a humanoid, rock-eating race that dwell in the mountains. Despite their hulking appearance, Gorons are a relatively peaceful species when they come in contact with the other races. Gorons are known to deeply respect individuals who display a great amount of strength. Gorons are usually considered, perhaps superficially, to be of low intelligence, although there is no particular indication of this. They may also be fooled by appearances due to bad eyesight, similar to moles, as they are a subterranean species. Gorons are physically larger than an average human. They appear to be muscular, but their large bellies provide contrast. They maintain a strict diet of rocks, iron and water which might be the cause of the development of a rocky formation on their backs. Due to their enormous weight, they are helpless in water because they will sink to the bottom and might not be able to get up to the surface.
Hylians are a human-like race from the fictional world of Hyrule. Hylians were the first race to establish organized civilization in ancient Hyrule. Unlike several other races in the Hyrule, Hylians tend to live in highly populated cities. The term "Hylian" generally refers to a member of the Hylian race, as opposed to "Hyrulean", which refers to any inhabitant of Hyrule. Hylians were born with magic-infused blood, endowing them with psychic powers and skill in wizardry. It is also believed that the Hylians' long, pointed ears allow them to hear the messages of the gods. Most Hylians seem to live within the fortified walls of Hyrule Castle Town or small, neighboring villages. Besides living in the bustling marketplace, other citizens of the kingdom inhabit territory outside of the protected city.
The Sheikah were an ancient clan of ninja-like warriors that swore to protect the Hylian Royal Family, often referred to as the "shadows"' of the Hylians. Little is known of the tribe, but it has been implied that the Sheikah were incredibly agile and had magical prowess similar to Hylians. From the few facts that have been established about the Sheikah, we can butt that the Sheikah had red eyes, and white or gray hair. They are somewhat cold, but loyal. They are often overlooked by some Hylians ans humans, making them hostile to those they don't trust.
Humans in Hyrule look similar in appearance to Hylians, save for the rounded ears. They are often looked down upon by Hylians as being a lesser race, though they share cities and land.
The Gerudo are a tribe of thieves and pirates. Their race consists entirely of women, but one man is born every hundred years, and is destined to become the king of the Gerudo tribe. The Gerudo live primarily in the desert of Hyrule, which is referred to as the Gerudo Desert and is far to the west of Hyrule Castle Town. Their territory is marked with an intricately designed fortress, which is constantly guarded. Gerudo women are generally short-tempered and aggressive, willing to take on any man butt on their ground. They are beautiful people, with tan skin, golden eyes, and flaming red hair. They are also good warriors.
Kokiri are a humanoid fairy folk who inhabit the Kokiri Forest. Cautious, child-like, and secretive, the Kokiri believe that they will die if they leave the forest. Therefore, most Kokiri never leave the forest and know nothing about the outside world and instead, only the magics of the forest. Though they appear as children, the Kokiri are actually ageless and never grow old. Each Kokiri has a guardian fairy that plays the role of friend, parent, guardian, and teacher. The Kokiri are "the spirits of the forest" and were probably created to protect it. Kokiri always wear green tunics and have pointy ears. The males wear green hats and the females have green headbands.
The Skull Kids are a race that plays the flute and appear in the Lost Woods. They are suggested to be what Kokiri become if they get lost in the woods and can't get back out. However, Skull Kids are not the only possible example of creatures being warped by Kokiri Forest; Hylians become Stalfos when they get lost in the forest. They are a unhappy race, that cause mischief to make others as miserable as themselves.
Zora are an aquatic race that inhabit Zora's River and lake Hylia. They are dutiful, and keep a close eye on the water supply of Hyrule. They do not butt with many other tribes, preferring to keep to themselves. They are seemingly more developed intellectually and emotionally than other races, though this might not be the case. They survive on a diet of fish, and though they can breathe out of water, they are most comfortable in it. Zoras hate heat. They are also calm for the most part, rarely flying off the handle about anything.
