Breath of the Wild put a kabob in the fanon by showing Hylia worship as commonplace, while worship or even mention of Din, Nayru and Farore is entirely absent. Prior to Breath of the Wild, it was fanon that Hylia was a long-forgotten goddess, with the only reminders of her existence being Lake Hylia and the name of the Hylian race, with the people of Hyrule focusing their worship on The Golden Goddesses.Breath of the Wild, the game where Hylia is the most worshipped of all, has no mention whatsoever of the Golden Goddesses. However, Skyward Sword does not clearly indicate kind of relationship Hylia had with the other Goddesses beyond her being assigned by them as the guardian of Triforce. Hylia tends to be presented as the fourth Golden Goddess, and thus a sister to the other three.However, it remains as speculation with no official word. Ultimate, of all things, has Spirit fights against Din and Nayru that use artwork of the Oracles, but are rather made into direct references to the Goddesses. This has a few official bases, as Wind Waker has statues of each goddess that resemble the Oracles, their cameo in The Minish Cap has them give Link charms that evoke the closest stat that the game could provide to represent their respective piece of the Triforce note an attack boost from Din, a defense boost from Nayru, and a weaker boost of both from Farore, and Super Smash Bros. Regarding the three Golden Goddesses, it's a common theory that their namesake Oracles, Din, Nayru and Farore, are avatars/reincarnations of them, and thus a vast part of fan art that uses the designs of the Oracle games refers to them as the goddesses.In canon, it changes Depending on the Writer, but Hylians are usually a Human Subspecies at most. Humans and Hylians are treated as separate species by many fans.Aside from that, Hylians and other humans are shown as the same outside of nationality. The only time the difference between Hylians and other humans has come up was with Link and Zelda's reincarnations, who are always Hylian. The guide and manual for A Link to the Past do say the ancient Hylians were more adept at magic than most people and also states that the majority of modern day Hylians, known as Hyruleans, lost their ancestors' knowledge with time. Many round-eared humans are shown as adept at magic, while many Hylians like the laughing man in Ocarina of Time are skeptical of magic's existence.Labryanans/Holodrians, Ordonians, Hytopians). In-series, all human-like beings including Hylians are called humans, while the round-eared people are usually known by their land (ex.Many think Hylians are more magic adept than the round-eared people, who are universally called "humans" in the fandom:.There are no non-Hero Links, unlike how most Zeldas don't have Hylia's spirit and aren't reincarnations. Link is only born when a Hero is needed.Fans dismiss this and believe that all reincarnations of Link are named "Link." Link's name is literally, and consistently, "Link." Word of God is that, in some incarnations, "Link" is a placeholder name for his "real" name.This fanon dates back to an Urban Legend from ALTTP and is canon in one manga. The most common guesses are the Zelda I, A Link to the Past, or Ocarina of Time Links. Many fans believe that at least one of the Links is secretly Zelda's brother.The other is the Breath of the Wild Zelda, who turns seventeen when Calamity Ganon rises, and spends 100 years keeping him at bay, making her chronologically 117 and physically 17. There are two Zeldas with a canon age: one is the Twilight Princess Zelda, who is actually 20 according to a piece of supplementary material (still, fans usually write her as 17-19). Most Zeldas seem to be in their mid-to-late teens so fans write them being anywhere from 14 to 18, with the exception of the obviously younger ones.A less common, alternate interpretation (especially amongst queer fans) is that OoT's Zelda is either a trans man or genderfluid. The former is inspired by the Ocarina of Time manga depicting Zelda as being a separate mental entity from Sheik due to Impa having locked Zelda's mind away. Sheik in fan works is usually either a male Split Personality of Zelda or he'll somehow be separated into his own character (usually to be shipped with Link). Despite Word of God saying that Sheik is simply Zelda crossdressing and not a genderbend, fans have been slow to the pickup. Sheik is rarely represented as Zelda in Zelda fan works, often being turned into a distinct individual rather than a persona temporarily adopted by Zelda.
