What is the lifespan of a hylian?

Hylians, the elf-eared humanoids in The Legend of Zelda, generally live like humans, averaging around 80 to 100 years, reaching adulthood in their late teens, but magical influence can extend this, with some figures like Impa and Purah living well over a century due to special circumstances or magic. While not immortal elves, Hylians have slightly longer lifespans than real-world humans due to Hyrule's magical setting, but normal Hylians don't typically reach the centuries-long lives of races like the Zora or Sheikah.

How often is a male Gerudo born?

A male Gerudo is born approximately once every 100 years, and this rare occurrence traditionally results in that male becoming the tribe's king, as seen with the recurring antagonist Ganondorf, though their existence raises lore questions in games like Breath of the Wild due to the passage of time without a visible male.

Why are there no Male Gerudo? - Zelda Theory

Why is Ganondorf the only male Gerudo?

Ganondorf is the only male Gerudo seen because, by their lore, only one male is born every 100 years, and he's destined to be king, but his existence (or the curse tied to him) seems to prevent other males from being born or recognized, meaning most of the time, there just isn't another male around to meet. Theories suggest this rare male birth might be a consequence of a pact or curse, perhaps linked to Demise's hatred, making Ganondorf the recurring villain and preventing other men from emerging or surviving, effectively making him the only significant male Gerudo in the timeline.

Is Link canonically mute?

No, Link is not canonically mute; he can speak, but his dialogue is usually implied or chosen by the player for immersion, though recent games like Echoes of Wisdom give a specific lore reason: a traumatic experience in a rift stole his voice, explaining his selective silence and occasional grunts. Nintendo intends for players to project themselves onto Link, making him a relatable avatar, hence the lack of voice acting and showing his speech through others' reactions or dialogue options.
