Anyways, just a random poll on how you like to pronounce "Ocarina."

It actually depends, I've said it both ways lol. But for the most part, ock-a-rina is how I say it
always ock
I have a bad habit of saying Oakarina but It's supposed to be Ockarina.
I used to say "Orc-a-rina" when I was like 10, but I know it's supposed to be "Ock-a-rina".
Ock-a-rina, because I kinda use my Norwegian accent when I talk, or something, I dunno. :P
cock-a-ring-a
Anyone who says "oak" should be banned from this site.
i've never heard someone spell it like the first option...
lol this is embarassing... I've always pronounced it "Aw-sah-ree-na" XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
do the kids in your class call you gramps?
I used to pronounce it "oak-a-rina" as a kid but then realized I was completely wrong. >_>
In TP the Ooccoos are similar, try with Oc-aa-ree-na
Ing... why would that be reffered to you lol
Who, me? No...
Oak. Always pronounced it wrong that way. Ah well.
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. :(
"Yeah so I was playing Oakar--I mean Ockarina of Time the other day and ..."

who sais Oak-a-rina? ock is for cool people 8)
I totally see that now, whoever (can't remember) told me to say Oak...instant nub status.
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 think Link should play the piano in the next Zelda game.
but problems would arise when people say "The Legend of Zelda: Grandoise Pianist" out loud
I always thought oak-arina was an American pronunciation. Guess I was wrong. So yeah, I say ock-arina.
I prefer to pronounce it "oar-uh-see-nuh"
ock sounds better
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. :)
according to wikipedia the correct pronunciation is ock-a-rina
