A feature explores how fans pronounce names from Zelda: Ocarina of Time
People do not all pronounce the names of characters and places in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time the same way.
A feature examines those differences as fans talk about the game.
Ocarina of Time is a Nintendo game set in Hyrule.
The discussion comes as the game is set to return in reimagined form on Switch 2.
Fans are also recalling favourite characters and bosses.
The feature focuses on how people say the game’s names, rather than reporting a single agreed pronunciation.
