•Hyrule, Kingdom of the Gods
The world that the 3 goddesses created and that the goddess, Hylia protected became known as Hyrule. Those who share the roots of Goddess Hylia were known as Hylians and they held mysterious power.
Peace continued through the land for a long time, but with a new era, a wave of chaos descended upon the land.

•The Battle for the Sacred Realm
The almighty power of folklore was lusted over by many, many people and there was a never ending struggle over the Triforce.
The Sage of Light, Rauru, constructed the Temple of Time around the only entrance to the Sacred Realm which housed the Triforce. The Sacred Realm was sealed with the Master Sword, along with the ability to pass through time. The Master Sword’s pedestal was closed off behind the Door of Time and three sacred stones acted as keys, which were guarded by the trusted people of the forest, the people of water, and the people of fire.
The Triforce was enshrined in the Temple of Light and Rauru was isolated from the world inside the Sacred Realm to continue to protect the power of the gods.

•Hyrule Kingdom’s Establishment
Those who inherited the blood of the goddess, Hylia, who was reborn into Zelda, established Hyrule. They built a castle in the centre of Hyrule, where the Temple of Time rested and watched over the Sacred Realm and the Triforce.

In the Royal Family, many people were born with a special power that existed deep within the bloodline and the queen would often be named Zelda after the historical legend.

•Temple of Time
The only entrance to the Temple of Light in the Sacred Realm. Though it bears the same name as the temple that stood in the desert in ancient times, the Temple of Time constructed by Rauru is thought to be located where the Sealed Temple once stood.
•Crest of the Royal Family
Because Goddess Hylia’s crest was in the shape of a bird, and people once rode giant birds in Skyloft, the Royal Family’s crest is a combination of the Triforce and a bird.

oh now i understand why the hylian shield has a red bird with the triforce above it
i mean,why the hylain shield was designed with a read bird and the triforce above it
*sight* another mistake… i mean a red bird
So only the descendants of SS Zelda have magic-infused blood while the other people from Skyloft (and their ancestors) only have pointed ears!? Or all humans with pointy ears are special but Zelda’s descendants are just.. more special?
Zelda’s descendants is the royal bloodline (which holds all future Princess Zeldas), so they are indeed a bit more special than “regular” Hylians.
Thanks for the reply Snow. So this part: “Those who share the roots of Goddess Hylia were known as Hylians and they held mysterious power.” refers generally to Hylians and not just SS Zelda’s descendants?
I’d say so, yeah. Hyrule Historia uses basically the same wording when talking about the decline of the Hylians on page 93.
