It can be assumed that a portion of Skyloft's population flew down and repopulated the Surface after the events in Skyward Sword, leading to the Hylian establishment of the Kingdom of Hyrule seen in future games. In the sky, the new society flourished in peace and the majority of the Skyloft populace remained ignorant of the ravaged world below the clouds until the events of Skyward Sword. Living above the clouds on a separate outcrop of earth, they named the safe haven Skyloft. When the homeland of the Hylians was under a massive assault by demonic hordes, they were separated from the Surface for thousands of years by Hylia in an attempt to protect them. Hylian Countries and Settlements Skyloft Main article: Skyloft Some Hylians have evolved into different races, such as the Wind Tribe or the Kokiri. Among the Hylians, there are a variety of peoples of different cultures and ethnicities. Unlike several other races in the series, Hylians tend to live in highly populated towns or villages such as Hyrule Castle Town, Kakariko Village and Village of the Blue Maiden. In Twilight Princess, the Oocca are said to have aided them. Hylians were the first race to establish organized civilization in ancient Hyrule many years after the events of Skyward Sword upon the world formerly known only as the Surface. Hylians have the same life expectancy as regular humans. 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. In addition, some sages and shrine maidens have also been able to wield magic, an ability that brought them considerable honor in Hylian society. However, because they are of Hylia's bloodline, the royal family, especially its princesses, are still strong in magic. In the past, Hylians were able to wield magic of considerable might, but, over time, that ability has faded. Descended from the people who lived among the goddess Hylia long prior to the establishment of Hyrule as a kingdom, they are a magic race with pointed ears. While it is unlikely that the people of Termina, a parallel world to the Kingdom of Hyrule, are also known as Hylians, they are their parallels. They are from the countries of Skyloft, Hyrule and the latter's flooded counterpart, the Great Sea.

The Hylians (pronounced / Л€haЙЄ.li.Й™n/ HY- lee-Й™n) are a race of Humans.
