 Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2008 6:25 pm Ok, well, since Ocarinas exist, I found it irresistible to look up the pronunciation a year back, and it turns out to be AH-kah-REE-nah (ŏk'ə-rē'nə).
On the the indefinites... >_>
Farore: FAH-roar
Nayru: NEIGH-roo
Kakariko: KAH-ka-REE-koh
Kokiri: koh-KEE-ree
Deku: DEH-koo
Vaati: VAY-TI, though I can't even remotely figure out which one sounds more accurate. Curse Nintendo and their double letters. >_>

Kokiri: Koh-KEE-ree

Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2008 11:22 pm Up till Hyrule Trivia, I had always thought that Farore was Fayfore. I guess I'd completely abandoned her name, since the jewel was useless in the game. xD
