Hylian

The Hylians are a race of human-like beings descended from the people who lived among the goddess Hylia long prior to the establishment of the Kingdom of Hyrule. They are a magical race with long, pointed ears who have inherited the blood, powers, and abilities of their ancient ancestors. The most famous Hylians are the many heroes and princesses that share the same name as one another, the latter being of blood relation and naming tradition.
Hylians traditionally have long, pointed ears, and generally have blue or blue-grey eyes and light skin, although the ethnicity 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; Hyrulean symbols are often part of the embroidery in their dresses. Tall buns and braids are common in women, while men of the working class usually wear broad-brimmed hats to protect their skin from the sun and the rain. Some men also wear knee-length leather boots. 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.
One of the few known abilities that the Hylian people possess is the use of their long, pointed ears to receive special messages from the gods themselves. This is an ability that continues to get passed unto their children, their children's children and so on.
