 This encyclopedia is a compiled list of the places, events, items, bosses, monsters, races, and characters that I think are most important for the Zelda series. Obviously there is so much more than what is listed in this encyclopedia, but I believe with this information, you will not need to search much more for answers.

She then placed the Goddess Blade in a statue and hid herself by falling asleep and becoming reincarnated into a mortal being during the events of Skyward Sword.
Hylian
Race
NOTE: I have the Gerudo and the Sheikah shown on this picture because I believe that they are all Hylians just trained or raised differently to become a Gerudo or Sheikah.
Hylians are an elf-like race of people who first established an ordered civilization in Hyrule. Famous Hylians include Princess Zelda and Link. The Hylians' long, sculpted ears enable them to hear special messages. As the chosen people, they are also given unique psychic and magical abilities.
Traditional Hyrulean dress is simple and functional. Men belt leather jerkins at the waist, and women slip into straight, ankle-length gowns. Although simple of design, Hyrulean dresses and tunics are often embellished with brightly colored, hand-stitched borders that make them look almost festive.
When working outside, Hyrulean men often wear broad-brimmed hats that protect them from sun and rain. Also, the men always wear sturdy, cuffed leather boots that reach to the knees. For the women, artisans craft delicate golden earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Images of Hyrulean legends are often included in the design.
Some Hylians also follow different paths of life. Some choose to go through the training to become a Sheikah, which is like a ninja type character. Others that are born of a Gerudo race, stay in the gerudo. The Gerudo is an all female group that are basically like pirates of the desert. They dress in purple baggy pants and a purple cloth over their mouth.
The Hylian people are held in high reverence throughout Hyrule because of their pointed ears (that some say allow them to hear the words of the Gods) and their ability to use magic. They are different to regular Hyrulians who constitute an increasing percentage of the overall population as time goes on, making Hylian blood a rare blessing in later times.
The Royal Family and the bloodline of the Hero are always Hylian, with each generation of Link and Zelda show a persisting and exceptional power.
Race
Hyrulian people are regular citizens of the world. Comparable to humans, Hyrulians derive their name from the term "Hyrule" which is used to describe both the individual country and the world that encompasses other countries such as Holodrum and Labrynna. Physically, Hyrulians only differ from Hylians in their rounded ears, similar to the difference between humans and elves. Metaphysically, however, Hyrulians are said to be further from the Gods than Hylians, highlighting the predestination of Hylians to both rule and save the Hyrulians.
Location
The main center area where the Zelda series drama unfolds. This is where, Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf all were born and raised. This is also the main place on the planet as well.

All creatures big and small owe their lives to this legendary adventurer. Link's list of accomplishments sprawls longer than we could even begin to list here, but he is most well known for his vital role in keeping Ganon, The King of Evil, safely locked away in the Dark World. Some of Link's most famous accomplishments include rescuing Princess Zelda on multiple occasions, saving the citizens of Termina from certain demise, as well as freeing the island of Koholint from savage monster attacks. Humble to the end, Link is known not merely as a hero but as a symbol of courage, strength and wisdom as well. Tales of his bravery will never cease, and his legend will never ever die.

Ezlo- Minish Cap
Ezlo was a great Minish who knows magic. He is the reason Minish Cap even takes place, because he trained Vaati, who was also a Minish, and Vaati used his powers to get what he wanted. Vaati then transformed Ezlo into a cap and that is where Link found him.

Veran was the mistress that Link had to slay in the events of Oracle of Ages. Her ultimate goal was to obtain power using the Black Tower that started it's construction 400 years before the events of the game.
Location
This is the egg that cracked open when Link played the Ballad of the Wind Fish in front of it with all eight Instruments of the Sirens. Link’s path through it was… LLURRULU
Race*
A race that isn’t much known about. They look like Hylians that just live in the Heavens. They dress in heavy clothes and wear turbans on their heads. No picture is present at the moment for them as they only appeared in one game, Minish Cap.
*: Some believe that the Wind Tribe is the people that are left from Skyloft. It isn’t certain.
Wind Waker
Artifact
Link found this during the events of Wind Waker. Using it basically like a conductor’s magic wand; he waved it around to control the winds. His songs include…
Wind Requiem ULR
Song of Passing LRD
Ballad of Gales DRLU
Command Melody LMRM
Earth God’s Lyric DDMRLM
Wind God’s Aria UUDRLR

Zant
Twilight Princess
The false leader of the Twilight World and driving force behind its incursion into the world of Light, Zant is the self-proclaimed king of shadows who cursed the beautiful Princess Midna and cast her out of her own realm. When Midna’s father, the true Twilit king, chose not to name Zant as his successor, the evil shadowling became maddened by an uncontrollable rage. He cried out in anguish to the gods, begging that his vengeance be granted. His plea was heard by a god of unholy power, who offered Zant the chance to fulfill his lust for supremacy.

The Legend of Zelda, Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask (Memory), Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, Wind Waker, Four Swords Adventures, Minish Cap, Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, A Link Between Worlds
Widely admired for her awe-inspiring beauty and well-loved for her charitable soul, Princess Zelda has always been the greatest treasure of Hyrule's Royal Family, except for in Skyward Sword, Zelda resides with Link on Skyloft and the two of them are very close. She is the daughter of Kaepora.
Zelda from Skyward Sword
Skyward Sword
For once Zelda is not a princess in the events of Skyward Sword. Being great friends with Link she takes an interest in him at the beginning of the game. She eventually gets captured by an evil force under the clouds and Link sets out to find her and ends up finding out more about Zelda than he ever expected.
Zora
Race
When the Goddesses created Hyrule, they blessed Zora's Fountain and eventually the fish which swam in its water evolved into the Zoras we know today. They are humanoid in form, but the Zoras can survive both underwater and on land. Led by their King, the Zoras are peaceful creatures who enjoy music and sports. They look like water Hylians where they stand on two legs, but have fins on their arms and legs to swim. In addition, they have a long tail emerging from the back of their heads as well that must help with swimming in some way.
Location
This is the three main areas in which Zoras live and survive.
Race
Not much is known about the Zuna Tribe. They do not have a picture for they were in Four Swords Adventures. The best way to describe them would be, they look like ducks that stand on their hind legs as tall as Hylians and dress in purple or blue robes on their bodies and turbans on their head.
