Lore & Background
They are drawn with dark skin and red hair and are usually taller and more muscular than Hylians. Some of their original design carried over into Breath of the Wild. Their reception has been mixed: several writers have criticised them as a negative portrayal of Middle Eastern and South Asian people.
