It used to be the Zora, but now I prefer the Rito. Majestic, powerful, honor-bound people. Gotta love 'em. The Zora come next, for the same reasons, except not as majestic. In third come the Gerudo, 'cause amazons and deserts are cool. Plus the Arabian theme; I love Arabian themes.

I choose the Kokiri, but I also like the Zoras and Twili.

QuoteEvilslayer, 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.

The Kokiri and Sheikah in particularly ARE tribes. Also, how do you know Zora is the name of a race? With the exception of OoA (which was made by Capcom) all the Zoras so far are in the Death Mountain Area.

As for the Gorons, I can't remember them ever referring to all Gorons as a tribe. They speak of the Goron tribe.

Saying the Sheikah and Kokiri are tribes only helps you if you can prove "races" and "tribes" are different.

Because they are also referred to as the "Zora Race," perhaps?

Exactly my point. If they are the "Goron Tribe," and seeing as how the race is referred to as the "Goron Race," then that kind of suggests they're the same, no? Having a tribe within a race with the same name doesn't make much sense, does it?

Evilslayer

Their tribe doesn't have a name because the developers were too lazy. Like with Hyrule Castle. They're the only Goron tribe in the game, so why not. I've never seen 'Goron Race' being used in the games.

The same goes for 'Zora Race'.

Commodore Axilon

Were they not both referred to as "races" in OoT?

Why are the Twili not on here? I demand justice. Anyway I vote for the sheikah, a race of ninjas with red eyes is just awsome.

On the race/tribe thing. A tribe is a group of people. A race is a physical caracteristic. The Souix and the Apache were both diffrent indian tribes, but they were both the same race.
The Hylians are a diffrent race than Humans because of the pointy ears. However, the Hylians in Hyrule and the Hylians in Termina are diffrent tribes.
All these things on this list are races

Maybe because the poll was started way before TP was released... :-*

I'll decide soon. It's between Tokay and Subrosians. Cresent Moon Island of the Tokays is just so colorfull and beautiful. The Subrosians I love. I will also mention this, the Subrosians seem to be influenced by the Gorons in Labrynna's past, after talking to a few Subrosians there in a linked game.

Also, the Jeopordy thing counts as the Rito.
Cresent Moon Island? Thats an Island in WW, but it's completly deserted.

No thats an island in OoA where the Tokay live.
