Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D

[RDX]

he's also 12 and likely overweight

by the way it's dee-koo tree not decku tree i dont get why people pronounce it that way

[Scufo]

When I was a kid I pronounced it Doo-koo

No idea why

[The Derrit]

quit yer bitchin

the thing with club nintendo is that the free award they give you usually sucks. last year i think it was an animal crossing poster, but it was really cheap and tacky.

nope last year it was a sick figurine of mario and pals handpainted

its pretty awesome

[RDX]

Maybe it was the year before then. I've lost track of time.

I'm going to have to google that.

The first part made me laugh. He's also WAY farther in the game than I am, though I get maybe an hour or two a day to play video games, so I guess that's to be expected.

Just curious on that second part, where'd you hear it pronounced that way? I always thought it was deck-oo rather than dee-koo, though I've never seen any official confirmation either way.

[Gollgagh]

because if you follow phoenetic pronunciation procedures (kinda like, you know, the whole japanese language), it will come out as deh-koo (or deck-oo, whatever)

I can't imagine what kind of retarded vowel shift would be required for it to be pronounced dee-koo (oh wait, english did that, heh)

[EC2151]

Well, funnily enough, we were just talking about this on another forum.

I always went:

Ko-keer-ee

Dee-koo

Neigh-roo

Skull-chula (as a kid, i pronounced it Skull-a-ta ...)

Fa-ror

Nah-veye

From what I gather, some of that is wrong, but that's how i pronounced them as a kid, and can and will not change!

[Lemonectric]

My cousin says Karaoke Village and Girdio Valley. I should ask her to clear up this Deku business.

[RDX]

for the record i pronounce saria as sair-ee and kokiri as kor-kor-ee. so yeah im not exactly some pronunciation wizard.

i blame my being 5 when this game came out. feel free to get pissed about it but hey the first time i referred to "ocarina" as ock-uh-reena instead of orc-arena my siblings had no idea what i was talking about.

edit: oh and let me get a little bit of this in here

Dee-koo

Nigh-roo

Skull-tula

Fair-rore

Na-vee

Hi-lee-in

Ger-roo-doo (sharp g)

Sheek (yes i know it's shake)

[Gollgagh]

[insert joke about backpedaling]

[RDX]

I really hope you're not taking me too seriously.

[Gollgagh]

I don't take anything seriously

if I did, I wouldn't have thirteen thousand posts

[The Damned]

Postcount bragging.

Big deal...

Am I the only one who says "DEH-Koo"?

[Brushfire]

Anyone see the Robin Williams commercial?

I thought it was cute and very beardful.

[Kureejii Lea]

Nope.

It's kind of weird when you end up talking Zelda with someone and have no "canon" pronunciation to refer to for most of the names. SAR-ia, Ka-kuh-REE-koh, Guh-ROO-doh, NAV-ee, JAH-boo JAH-boo, Skull-TUL-ah (though that would be more likely with two L's at the end, I guess)...

Then again, despite all the games saying "MAR-ee-oh" the ads seem to use "MAYR-ee-oh" a lot. To me, that's kinda up there with "Eye-rak" and "Eye-tal-ee-an."

[liquid wind]

thought the commercial was cheesy but robin williams' beard is epic

[Lemonectric]

Older ads, though. And it makes me cringe every time.

I thought it was kind of forced but also very beardful.

[Jamphibious]

I always thought this was the official pronunciation. Either way that's how I say it

On another note, just got to the Forest Temple myself, and I must say Adult Link looks really awesome in this game. I become increasingly impressed by this remake every day.

[RDX]

I always had a fat man crush on adult link as a kid. He looks too girly now. Jeez Nintendo.

Also, even though I pronounce Saria as SAIR-ee, I'm pretty sure it's Suh-ree-ah. That's how my friend always pronounced it at least, it's Maria with an s. And Kakariko is Kack-uh-REE-co.

[Scufo]

Saria as Sair-ee? How does that even happen

Then again I always pronounced Farore as fay-OR-ee so whatev.

[The Damned]

Fa-ror-ah?

[Malaki-LEGEND.sys]

I usually go with the emphasis being either non-existent or kind of on the first syllable unless I feel like I gotta stick with what looks like it should be rules of English.

SAR-ree-ah

DE-ku

SKULL-chu-la(sort of like tarantula)

Koh-KEE-ree(this is probably wrong and it's actually KOH-kee-ree, but whatev')

NAY-roo

Fah-ROAR

Ka-ka-REE-koh(like Kakarot I guess)

Of course until I hear Miyamoto say it, the jury's still out.
