On the origins of Sonia and Rauru…
ハイラルは最も神に近い種族のハイリア人が創ったってのが通説だけど
“It is commonly believed that Hyrule was founded by the Hylians, who are the closest race to the gods.”
実は大昔には、ハイリア人よりもっと神に近い種族がいて、彼らが創ったという説もあるんだ
“But there's in fact a theory that there was a race even closer to the gods than us Hylians a long time ago, and it was them who founded it!”
そして彼らは、ハイリア人の誕生とともに新しい都を創り、都ごと天に浮かべてそこで暮らし始めたらしい
“And then, as the Hylians were born, they built a new capital, floated it into the sky, and began to live there.”
— Shad; The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Japanese)
The kingdom of Hyrule has a long, long history. So long, in fact, that the events that occurred leading up to its founding and in its early years have faded into myth. Hyrule’s recurring periods of prosperity and decline have made it impossible to tell which legends are historical fact and which are mere fairy tale. However, it is an indisputable truth that Calamity Ganon attacked Hyrule and was sealed ten thousand years ago, and that it revived one hundred years ago in an event called the Great Calamity.
Still, ten thousand years is an extraordinarily long time, and all that remains of that event is the legend itself. Any official documents regarding Calamity Ganon’s latest revival and the periods surrounding it were burned away in the Great Calamity, so no detailed accounts remain. As such, what is listed here is a sketch of Hyrule’s history, limited to what little information can be found today.
— The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Creating a Champion, page 361
The Establishment of Hyrule Kingdom
The descendants of the goddess Hylia, who was reincarnated as Princess Zelda, established the kingdom of Hyrule and became Hyrule’s royal family. In order to protect the Triforce, Hyrule Castle was built in the center of Hyrule, where the Temple of Time was located. The royal family watched over the Triforce, keeping its existence unknown to others.
— The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia, page 77
Conclusion:
Queen Sonia was a descendant of the spirit maiden who was the goddess Hylia reincarnated as a mortal. She's a Hylian!
King Rauru was a living member of the legendary sky beings, the highly advanced civilization who originally built up the kingdom of Hyrule. The Zonai were the sky beings of legend!
