In the world of Hyrule, the Koekiri (also spelled Kokiri) are mysterious, ancient beings that originally inhabited the Sacred Grove near the entrance to the Kingdom of Hyrule. This grove was said to be home to the land’s spiritual energy, from which the Deku Trees, a central part of the Koekiri existence, sprouted. With the dawn of time, the Deku Trees gradually began to disappear, paving the way for the descent of the Hylians.

The Hylians, also known as the Rito, had been said to have inherited the wisdom and knowledge passed down by the ancient Nords and Zoras [1]. This heritage endowed them with exceptional magical ability and intelligence, making the Hylians a cornerstone of Hyrule’s balance and governance.
