I said Ock all through my childhood because that's just what it looked like. Then some n00b told me it was Oak so I started saying Oak. I'm trying to get away from saying Oak now but it's a hard habit to break. Sad

"Yeah so I was playing Oakar--I mean Ockarina of Time the other day and ..."

I hear a lot of people pronounce it both ways, but I don't correct them on it. I used to say Oak-a-rina all the time, but now I find myself switching to Ock-a-rina because it is the right way apparently.

Do we have any music majors here that can back it up as being right? If you're a specialist in how musical instrument names are pronounced, it would be interesting to get the "official" clarification. I am a music major myself, but the only instrument I play is Piano. So, I wouldn't know for sure if it's "Oak" or "Ock."

I always thought oak-arina was an American pronunciation. Guess I was wrong. So yeah, I say ock-arina.

My friend used to say
"Eee Pee Ohna" - Epona
"Corky" - Kokiri
"Garr Uh Doh" - Gerudo
"Lake Ha Laya" - Lake Hylia
"Dooka" - Deku

That's all I can remember.

i pronounce hylia "hye-lee-uh" but i think other people pronounce it "hill-ee-uh" which i can't see considering the way "hyrule" is pronounced

i also used to pronounce gerudo "jer-oo-doh" before i know anything about japanese phonetics

Well what the hell was you friend thinking? I normally say "ock" but every once in awhile I say "oak". We should hear Kazooie's preference. Smiley
