I have always head-cannoned that the kokiri were an isolated appearance.
They they've only ever been koroks, except for that one time they became a village that raised a hero.
That the Great Deku Tree, surrounded by korok forest children, decided to take in the orphaned infant hylian before him. That he asked the forest spirits to appear as hylian-like children to make Link feel more comfortable and less lonely as he grew up.
(Mido must have missed the memo).
"Eternal night" this, "endless darkness" that, "no light all the time would be so bad" blah blah blah. The big bang's chokehold of a victors' narrative really made yall forget the natural state of the universe.
...that's just part of the process sometimes.

Description: A four panel comic. Each panel is roughly the same.
Panel 1: I am leaning into my monitor screen, scribbling the final touches of a drawing. Text above reads '(A multi hour illustration.)'
Panel 2: I lean back. Text above reads '* Save *'
Panel 3: I pause, not moving at all.
Panel 4: Finally in the last panel I speak, declaring 'I hate it.'
"Hmm... Something tells me I need to tread carefully here... Let's see, it's got a lovely color, but how about the taste?"
Felt like drawing a bunch of Dracula memes just to be silly :p

Read thru a lot of the tags and would like to propose: the bloodline of hylia is the godhood bloodline, and if you're the political power of a land, you want that bloodline tied to yours to control it. Could explain why zelda retains the title of Princess even when she shouldn't. Like hyrules monarchy is just trying to keep literal god within the family. It could be less of a divine mandate and more of a divine leash.
also sorry i'm thinking about the hylian monarchy and the whole 'descended from a goddess' thing. do y'all remember the divine right of kings? can you imagine living in a world where not only is that the ONLY form of government for tens of thousands of years, but any ruler's reign is provably correct and irrevocable? what do u do if the present queen is a bit shit. u are stuck with that lady. she's god
