RDX Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Maybe it was the year before then. I've lost track of time. I'm going to have to google that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XZero Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 he's also 12 and likely overweightby the way it's dee-koo tree not decku tree i dont get why people pronounce it that way 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 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC2151 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDX Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushfire Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Anyone see the Robin Williams commercial? I thought it was cute and very beardful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kureejii Lea Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Am I the only one who says "DEH-Koo"? 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."

And it makes me cringe every time. Anyone see the Robin Williams commercial?I thought it was cute and very beardful. I thought it was kind of forced but also very beardful.

Jamphibious Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Am I the only one who says "DEH-Koo"? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDX Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 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 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Saria as Sair-ee? How does that even happen Then again I always pronounced Farore as fay-OR-ee so whatev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 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.
