So, hello there, peoples. I'm just curious and have a severe case of summer boredom. Don't mind? This is in the videogames section because of my recent thinking about Ocarina of Time, everyone.

Oh-car-in-ah? Oh geez.

I pronounce it Ock-ah-ree-na by habit, but I think it's Oak-ah-ree-na.

I don't really say it any of those ways, but I voted oka-ah-ree-na because that's the closest to how I say it. I'm fairly sure I say it weirdly, but me and my friends and brother would argue how to properly say it when we were younger. Aah, the memories~

Ah, man, I pronounce it ock-ah-ree-na. Oh, and that rabid fangirl happens to be my friend. She draws Link pretty well, except maybe the fact that the hat was twice as long as normal in ONLY one of the drawings. Me + Her + paper + 2 pencils = WTFISTHATBURNITNOW.

The longer the hat, the better the Link is the rule of thumb, I believe. Also, I think what me and my friends come up with can top what you do anyday. >_>

They all read/look the same to me.

The phonetics are not as clearly differentiated as they could be - I say it how I say it - and as it's the name of one of my own characters...

...I'LL SAY IT HOW I WANT TO! :science:

I don't have those special characters used for phonetics. :colbert: So I improvise. It's not like I'm forcing you to say it like that. I'm just boooorrreeed.

Not when it's able to strangle him and his long, lanky legs entirely. >_>

As for weird pictures, she drew a picture of her face cartoon-style and then I started adding random stuff to it like... uh... a Wailord hat on her head. She also got a goatee added to her chin. And a unibrow. And a load of other crazy stuff that could possibly cause a sane person to run away. Call me easily amused, it was FUN. It wasn't just me doing it. Yeah, I have some sort of weird, broken humor that involves unibrows. Hey, at least I can draw Ike pretty fast. With a silly face. And noodle arms. I'm not up to drawing life-like pictures. AUUUGH NOSES. Geez, I sound like a sass bucket. Heat must be getting to me. Because I don't have anymore popsicles. Shoot.
