::"human" appears 97 times in SS, referring to Hylia's people, including Link. TP uses it 107 times, referring to Link both as a human and as a Hylian. MM refers to humans, including Link who is certainly a Hylian in that game. On the flip side, LttP speaks of humans who are ''not'' Hylians. I think the series generally refers to humans as any humanoid species to which the audience is supposed to relate. "Human" is a species, while Hylian and Gerudo are races or tribes (evidenced by Gerudo women finding Hylian boyfriends in OoT). TP uses "return to your human form" as a contrast to the "wolf form" or "beast form". So I agree with the article as-is, provided it uses citations where needed. As for the many pages linking to this page, these are humans that don't fall into specific races like Hylian. By my logic, technically all Hylians could be considered humans, but we should list a race when possible, only using "human" as a fall-back. {{User:Locke/sig}} 19:52, November 27, 2012 (CST) | ::"human" appears 97 times in SS, referring to Hylia's people, including Link.

:::I wonder if the meaning of the word "Human" has changed over time. This would explain, why it is so confusing to see what is meant exactly. | |||
:::About the quotes up there: So the Zoras are ''no'' Humans, but the Gerudo are... {{User:Tael/Sig}} 12:49, November 28, 2012 (CST) | |||
