I actually associate Hylians more as humans, and the Zora as a type of sea elves.
OK, but that doesn't mean they aren't furry.
@Schedrevka define furry
anthropomorphized animal
Are Ewoks furries?
so it needs a real life counterpart?
different species imo
So, would you argue there's a distinction from an animal with human qualities
Ewoks are a different species imo
And a human with animal qualities?
Their real life counterpart is bird
as are Zora and Rita
They don't have a real life counterpart. They're given their wings by magic.
If you just took a picture of a rito and divorced it from its context in Zelda they would fit in perfectly well within furry shit
So if I took any furry character and gave it lore it would stop being furry?
humans dont have to be the only default intelligent life
If an Ewok is into humans and dresses like a human is that Ewok the equivalent to a furry?
at what point does something become furry? using rito as an example
is it the feathers, the beak, the talons on the toes
Furry defines a fetish isn't it?
They also absolutely have human form, not chicken legs or anything like that
Some of the Ninas from breath of fire are directly related to birds, are they furries?
The intent is what matters
More a subculture based on a common interest than just a fetish
There's lots of furry shit that isn't sexual, even if there is a TON of sexual furry shit
Unless the question is what are furries into
are humans furries because we're anthropomorphized monkeys?
That is why I say intent
Humans are already an animal
But you can't know the creator's intent
Two people could create the exact same thing and one could say 'it's furry' and the other not
yes
like mascots
Let's take it from a different angle, one of evolutionary development.
so what happens when the author never tells you? Is everything in a constant state of quantum furry because it's rarely explicitly stated?
How is it being used rather
schrodingers furry
But whether they evolved naturally or not is irrelevant to whether or not they're furry
Let's say you had the ability to change your own traits as you need to. Let's say you were wanting to physiologically change your body to be able to travel in, and live off of, the ocean.
They're clearly based on real life birds(primarily eagles)
not really
