Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D

[XZero]

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.

I usually go with:

sa-RYE-ah

deck-oo

SKULL-too-la

koh-keer-ee

Nay-roo

fah-roar-ay

Ka-kuh-ree-koh

High-rule

High-lee-ah (though I've heard Hylia pronounced "hill-lee-ah," but I always felt that was wrong)

Shouldn't the pronunciations be based on the original japanese pronunciations?

Saria = サリア = Sa Ri A

Kokiri = コキリ = Ko Ki Ri

Gerudo = ゲルド = Ge Ru Do

Right?

[Gollgagh]

that's what I said, but more succinctly

[Calpis]

Ah, so you did. I admit, I stopped reading the entirety of people's posts once this pronunciation tangent started.

Kokiri = コキリ = Ko Ki Ri

Gerudo = ゲルド = Ge Ru Do

Basically yes.

So I just got to Jabu Jabu and here are my thoughts:

It's definitely not a "minimal" graphics update as people were saying (you know, before it came out so they couldn't try it) and the 3D enhances it, but you're not really missing much if you turn it off. (in fact turning it off enables anti-aliasing so it looks much smoother)

The looking around the room thing is great at first, but it gets a little frustrating if you have the 3D on, because unless you can perfectly tilt the screen towards you as you continuously move the 3DS, your eyes won't keep the 3D image and you'll keep seeing the screen swap images with some dark regions moving across the screen.

Makes it real hard to aim with the slingshot, but I've gotten used to it and it doesn't happen that much anymore. You just have to learn to keep your head and the screen parallel when you're moving it around. Other than that, motion controls for looking is actually kinda more fun than gimmicky.

but is the g hard or soft?

edit: also, someone at my work has a 3DS and this game and is making me want it

[Calpis]

but is the g hard or soft?

Japanese would be a hard G so the direct pronunciation would be close to "guild" with a hard G and an "eh" vowel instead of "i". IMHO this particular word got a bad translation.

However, I first played the game before I learned japanese though so I still read it in my mind with a J sound with emphasis on the "ru".

[Scufo]

yeah...I'm gonna stick to saying it with a soft g for the next forever.

[Nabeel Ansari]

I still have a temptation to start saying Jer-OO-Doe

[Geoffrey Taucer]

So what would be the japanese pronunciation of Kakariko?

[DarkeSword]

KA-ka-REE-ko

So, if this needs to be moderated and shunted from the forum, I understand, but I thought y'all might be intrigued by this 3D Zelda game though not on the 3DS:

Aww the video got taken down. What was it?

[LuckyXIII]

Very odd - it doesn't work in the quotebox, but it works in my original post. Um - again for great justice?

Oh my God.

[Benjamin Briggs]

I think my body is beginning to physically waste away due to not owning zelda 64 3d

Starting up a relief fund for Ben Briggs. He needs out help NOW!

Anyone else come across this?

It seems to be an error with wifi and OoT 3D.

[EC2151]

If you go strictly by the Japanese, you have stuff like Nayru, which is just a really bad translation of her original name, Nail.

So TECHNICALLY, it should be Nerru or Nehr, but that sounds really dumb so we don't do that.

Le fixed.

"You got Nail's Love! Using it will protect Link from taking damage."

No.

As negative as I've been on Nintendo lately, I've actually started to take an interest in the 3DS, and I might try to pick this game up. I've given up on console gaming, I'm more interested in handheld gaming and PC....

I'm such a hypocrite....
