Favorite Race

[Evilslayer]

If Yeti counts then dwarves should be on the poll. And what about Moblins? They are definitely a race. And there's the Goriyas, Dairas, etc. People always tend to forget the 'bad' races.

As for favourite race, it's definitely the HYLIA. They are the most powerful race in Hyrule, both in terms of magic and army.

I can't fit them all in. Ikanains are humans, Fishmen are a family of fish, Garo are from another land, so we have little on them, Twili are new, so I guesses you should wait until TP is a little older so that more people know about them. I forgot Minish (sorry Vaati), so count them as random. Wind Tribe are only a tribe, like Native Americans or pre-Industrial Age Africans, so it is most liekly they are humans or Hylians. Fairies might count, but they paly no significant role outside of healing and being partners with Kokiris or children. Keatons are animals, and what are "Goblins"?

I think it is Moblin.

and the Wind Tribe is most likely Hylian, since they were given tremendous magic by the gods.

Oh yeah, and the Zunas played SUCH a big role that they are in the poll, but Fairies not.  ::)

I don't need to know alot about something to like it. In fact, I like a bit of mystery. You only asked for fav race. :)

Keatons are not less "human" than Zoras as you may remember from their (new?) looks in TMC.

Note the "" surrounding the word Goblins. Goblins is my way of refering to the Bokoblins, Bulblins, Moblins and Miniblins.

Ikanains are humans,

How do you know this?

Wind Tribe are only a tribe, like Native Americans or pre-Industrial Age Africans, so it is most liekly they are humans or Hylians.

The word "tribe" in the Zelda games is used interchangeably with the word "race." I remember numerous times in TP when the Gorons and Zoras were referred to as "tribes."

I went with Hylians/Humans just cause that is what Link is and he is the man (or boy depending on the game). Close second to me were the Gorons, don't know why if it is the way they talk, their strength, or that they love to wrestle.

Only three Ikanians are shown alive in MM, all three with Human Ears and other qualities. Also, Keatons, in that game, were monsters. There are two Zora races, River and Sea (using OOA quotes here). They are both very different. It is possible that a branch (not the whole group) became more monsterous slowly. Nintendo commonly uses monsters and races the same way (Zoras, Gorons, Dekus, and Twili) or by giving them very similar qualities.

Edit: Sorry, I misread your post.

Where were these "living" Ikanians? (Is that even the right word? I always called them "Ikana.")

[Mysterious F.]

MM. The farther who turned into a Gibdo, his daughter, and the Thief who takes the Bomb Bags on the First Night in Clocktown.

[Commodore Axilon]

The Professor and his daughter were from Clock Town. I distinctly remember someone saying this.

And Sakon wasn't from there either. He just moved there because it was barren and deserted, and would make a good place for a hideout.

Gerudoooooo. <3
Although I do really like the Rito. Shame it isn't there, as has been pointed out.

[LadyNintendo]

Those three aren't Ikanans. The kingdom of Ikana has fallen quite a while ago and only a few undeads and some ruins are left.

Also, Keatons, in that game, were monsters. There are two Zora races, River and Sea (using OOA quotes here). They are both very different. Nintendo commonly uses monsters and races the same way (Zoras, Gorons, Dekus, and Twili) or by giving them very similar qualities.

So can we vote for them or not?

That's because they ARE tribes. The Gorons in TP are obviously a different tribe from the ones in OoT. The ones in OoT lives closer to the crater (in TP the crater is always far in the background), they are ruled by a Big Brother, not a patriarch, etc. The Zora tribe in TP is probably the same as the one in OoT and ALttP, but I believe there's probably other Zora tribes as well.

Also, Keatons, in that game, were monsters.

The Moblins, Dairas, Goriyas and Bokoblins are also 'monsters'. They should still be counted as races. Those other types of monsters, like Tektites and Octoroks, are closer related to animals. The Keatons, however, wear clothes and wield weapons.

[Commodore Axilon]

Evilslayer, they are referred to as the "Zora Tribe" and the "Goron Tribe." I also remember hearing "tribe" refer to the Kokiri in TWW, and the Sheikah in OoT, not just one particular group within them.

[Fishalicious]

I was torn between Shiekah, Zora, and Rito. >:

And the Twili and... yeah. I like Gerudo, too. And the Minish. >W< I should have put all. D:

I loved the Shiekah, even if they had a limited appearance. Zoras... just.... rock. owo; And Rito = birds, therefore they win 809 points for me. And... I like Skull Kids, but I doubt that's a race. (That, and things without faces make me happy. owo;)
