This huge thing I’m about to type up will give a scale of what races can, and cannot do, as well as possibilities and over all general ability a race is capable of as well as placement.
Do note this however. Upon observing all the Zelda Time Lines I mostly see High European fantasy. I’m going to be blending that with more possibilities. For example… The era will be more renaissance like. So you’ll be able to have nifty weapons and gadgets. Magic is various now and not so… rare. There are different forms of magic. For example, one tied strong to spirits can conjure familiars to aid them in battle or for some other purpose of support. Familiars can be used offensively to do magics the caster themselves cannot do. Such as You’re not a fighter, the Familiar could be one for you, or healer to whatever. One can master different elements over time. To different gadgets if you don’t use magics.
If you’re versatile you can use a bit of both; but never attain true mastery.
Each character will have some sort of weakness that is exploitable in battle. For example. A Deku is always weak to fire,slash and pierce attacks. But completely absorbs water based spells, and resist earth.
But each race has different strengths too. I’m also going to make a number statistic in terms to help give an idea of performance. These are NOT real numbers; just imaginary to give an idea of performance. Picture everyone started with just 1 point for each.
Strength - pretty self explanatory , but this also contributes to defense
Vitality - Health Dexterity - Speed, reaction, mastery of reflexes with a weapon.
Intelligence - Level of aptitude of magic, knowledge of gadget mastery or items
Luck- chance to critical, or avoid normally death dealing attacks or land ailments.

Hylians - The Divine race. They reside in and around the capitol in Hyrule- Hylia. The district of the world is simply dubbed “Hyruleâ€. From a cultural standpoint they seem condescending to humans despite not being that different. Atheism for them is highly discriminated. Unlike humans, they are very capable in magic arts. On a sociological standpoint they are politically ruled by monarchy.
Hylia as a capitol has a large lake that surrounds it. It is named after the goddess and her great lake.

It is said they have tamed dragons. On the other hand there is the free republic of Berminiya. They typically are not too far from Hylia and live near ocean and Grassy plains.

Zoras - Fish like merfolk who stand on two legs. They live in two variations. Green ones, and Blue and white ones.
The difference between the two is slim and none. They have their own domain to those who obey and live with the monarchy.
Those who live in the Monarchy live by code, and live in hidden springs. By the code they live it is seen as betrayal if one is to leave without word of their queen and is punishable by death or exile of birthright. Those who have defected typically live in the republic.
Those who were never part of the monarchy are more than likely born off shores and migrated to the republic. Very nimble and lithe in frame.
