Minish
Location: Hyrule
Famous Race Members: Ezlo, Vaati

The Minish people are a legendary people who live scattered throughout Hyrule. Some live in villages in the forests, others live right amongst the people of Hyrule, but because of their small size inhabitants of Hyrule aren’t aware of their existence, and they are most often thought to be but a legend. The Minish only show themselves to children, and so adults are inclined to belive them to be only legends.

Twili

The Twili are descendants of beings who tried to invade the Sacred Realm and harness its power. As a result, they were banished to the Twilight Realm and there they remained, making the best of a bitter situation, until a dark intruder appeared and changed their way of life.

Oocca         
Location: Hyrule, City in the Sky
Famous Race Members: Ooccoo, Ooccoo Jr.

An ancient race inhabiting the sky who some believe are the creators of the Hylian race. Not much is known about the mysterious, bird-like beings, but it is said that their story is entwined with that of the Royal Family and Hyrule. Could all or some of the unlikely and perhaps farfetched rumors be true?

Yeti
Location: Peak Province in Hyrule
Famous Race Members: Yeto and his wife, Yeta

Somewhat large beings who are known to endure extremely cold living conditions. To date, only two members of the species are known. Yeto and his wife Yeta live in Snowpeak ruins of Peak Province, remaining relatively unseen. When one fell ill, however, the other was not hesitant to go in search of reekfish. Once he’d obtained some, he cooked his wife a soup with the hopes of seeing her recover.

Lokomo
Location: New Hyrule
Famous Race Members: Anjean

The Lokomo appear to be half-man, half-train. Lokomo is a pun on the word locomotive, while the name of the only confirmed Lokomo so far, Anjean, is a pun on the word Engine.

As Anjean is the only Lokomo that we currently know about, it is possible that the mechanical half may simply be some sort of wheelchair unique to Anjean, though it is unlikely as the trailer showed Anjean moving around freely on the wheels without touching controls of any sort.
