Thing is, pointy ears aren't limited to Hylians either, we've been shown both round and pointy ears can occur in Gerudo, and again, Hylians are frequently called humans, too

It's alright if you don't wanna think of it like that, though

Hylians are a fictional enthnicity with a higher affinity for magic in the Zelda universe, yes

but they are considered human

and Zelda does differentiate between humans and "sub-humans" (I believe Historia used this term) like Gorons and Zora, so it's not a blanket term for mortals here
