Title: Ever ponder what race the residents of Koholint Island are?
Post by: Porkchop on September 02, 2008, 11:50:29 pm
I just started thinking of this now, working on LACOOP and all and just looking at all the races.

I mean, there's no mention of their race. Some could assume they are of Hylian Decent, but, there is never mention of Hyrule or the Gods, etc. This is probably because Link's Awakening is a dream according to some rumors.

I've just always wondered because a lot of them are similar looking characters to ones from other games :P

Well the thing about LA is that is makes you wonder what was a dream and what was real. I'd say they were of Hylian descent.

It was never confirmed to be a dream.

Some think it was a dream of Link's. Others think it was the Wind Fish's Dream (Thus when Link woke up him, the Island disappeared).

Either way, dream or not, they do have a race.

I would assume Hylian. If it isn't specified, they are usually Hylian in the world of Zelda. But again, it was a dream, so they didn't even exist.

But again, it was never confirmed. One can only assume it was a dream.

If they were Hylian, you'd think there would at least be hints or something to them being Hylian. Nothing of Hyrule wasn't mentioned at all in Link's Awakening as far as I know.

What are you talking about? This isn't some novel, it was a gameboy game. It was pretty clear that either Link was dreaming, or the Wind Fish was dreaming. Why would the island disappear if it was real? Why would all those statues point to it being a dream if it was real?

They were Koholians. Or something awesome like that.

AGAIN... yes, you can assume it was a dream with the island disappearing and all, but you honestly cannot say 100% it was a dream no matter how sure you are.

Holy jesus. I'm not confused about anything. The topic wasn't even about it being a dream in the first place. I was just pondering the race of the people living on the island.

Post by: Mirby on September 03, 2008, 12:34:29 am
I may have sidetracked it a bit. If so, sorry about that. But I'd say Hylian descent, or if you want ot go the native route, Koholinti.

The fact that after you beat the game you see the Windfish (after you 'wake up') fly over head.

Then it was probably the Wind Fish's dream. He was real. He just dreamed the event.

So if it's the Wind Fish's Dream... that must me... :O You really play as the Wind Fish and not Link.

Post by: paito on September 03, 2008, 12:54:48 am
Judging by the official art of the game and some in-game photos from DX, Link is the only person that have pointing ears.

It's easy, Link sleeps, dreams that wake up a fish and then he wake up.

Precisely my point.

...Though seriously, are the people in LA/OOA/OOS hylian or human? I can't remember the artwork, so I don't know if they have pointed ears or not.

Edit: Oh, didn't see the previous post.

Yeah, they are probably their own race.

I'd really like to see the return of Koholint Island in a future Zelda title... even if it's a handheld. I mean, if the Wind Fish is real, surely he could create the illusion of Koholint again. Speaking of the Wind Fish, if he's real and all legendary and such, where was he in Wind Waker? D:

He should have been in it, he's got a damn sea to himself.

Post by: 4Sword on September 03, 2008, 01:03:28 am
If their ears point, there is a good chance they are Hylian, otherwise they are just human or whatever, I do not know.  Oh fiddle-sticks, missed other posts.  Also, certain characters are based on characters from the other parts of the Zelda universe, but I don't know if that says anything.

Yeah it was a dream for sure. I just watched the ending and read all the text. He mentions it being a Dream World and all that. He also says "Let's wake up together Link!" which indicates that they both probably shared the same dream.

so? remember they are always changing the story of Zelda and Hylians with pointy ears appeared in OoT.. so that doesn't mean they aren't hylians.. Still it is a dream btw.

Hylians always have and always will have pointy ears.

They have never not had point ears.

I think Jabu-Jabu, Jabun, and The Windfish may all be the same. If not, it's Jabun and Jabu-Jabu.

Link didn't dream of his friend. He dreamed of the Windfish. So if you dreamed of the Windfish, then woke up and saw the Windfish... I'd say there is a good chance that things in your 'dream' really happened. Especially if you started your dream by being woke up.

But that's just me being the devil's advocate. I think it was the Windfish's dream.

"Lets wake up together Link" implies that link and the fish were sleeping together :O Link is Fishgay

Hawaiin.
I dunno I saw no one playing a Ukulele and we all know that every single Hawaiian person plays Ukulele. Thus this myth is busted :P

They're probably mexicans.
Did you see any sombreros? 'Cause I know for a fact that all Mexicans wear sombreros and play the maracas.

Well, I'm just saying that if the islanders were Hylians it would mute his point that they always have pointed ears.

Maybe they're all atheists.  The Hylians had pointed ears so they could talk to the gods, or something like that.  Maybe the islanders were atheistic Hylians that decided to leave Hyrule and over time they lost their defining ear features.  Then they were swallowed by the Wind Fish and became a part of its mind.

Considering it's a dream, it wouldn't reflect the ACTUAL Hylians.

Also Wind Fish isn't bigger than the island so he could not swallow it.

He didn't swallow the island, he swallowed the people while they were out sea-adventuring.  After which they became a part of his mind and thus a part of his dreams.  MY NONSENSICAL THEORY IS ABSOLUTE!!

Not sure they're ever explicitly named as such but Hylians/Hyruleans specifically have pointy ears, which not all humans in the games do.
