History
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
This is the first game to refer to Hylians by name. According to the manual, Hylians are distinguished from other humans with their long, pointed ears, which are capable of hearing the gods. They are also said to have heightened senses and the ability to use magic. The descendants of Hylians spread to various places of the world. Within the contemporary Hylian bloodline, their special characteristics began to wane and become legend.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, most Hylians live in the Hyrule Castle Town. A few individuals live outside the town, specifically Talon of Lon Lon Ranch and the Lake Scientist of Lake Hylia.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
When searching for Zelda, Ganondorf kidnaps young girls with pointed ears, knowing that Zelda has Hylian heritage.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Predecessors of Hylians appear in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. In the game's legend, the goddess, Hylia, took her chosen people to an outcropping of earth and sent it skyward, creating Skyloft. According to Hyrule Historia, these people who share roots with Hylia later settled on the surface world, which came to be known as Hyrule. Afterwards, they were known as Hylians.
