Farore Pronunciation
Hello there! Since this wiki is kinda dumb when it comes to giving pronunciations, I'll tell you that, in Japanese, it's pronounced [fah-roh-roo]. None of the vowels are long, so by default, an English speaker would put the emphasis on the first syllable based on how it sounds to them when spoken by a Japanese person. However, that's not always the correct thing to do. Since the English spelling of "Faroru" is "Farore", It would either by pronounced [FAHR-ur] (sounding identical to "far" + "er"..."farrer", if that was a word), or [fuh-ROR] (with the O being a short O as taught in, I think, the UK. If you're American, it's gonna be like the O in "for", not like the O in "lot".). Schwarzorn (talk) 21:36, 24 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Sorry to disappoint with another "kinda dumb" thing, but talk page discussions that don't relate to actual work on the wiki should also be carried to a forum. Also while not immediately pertinent to the case, that's certainly not how Furoru is pronounced in Japanese. If you're reading フ as "fah", I'd advise you to freshen up on Japanese phonology before you attempt to transcribe the phonetic pronunciation of any Japanese names on this Wiki.

 * But this is a user's talk page... Where is the rule that states this is not allowed? Also, you're right. I haven't played Ocarina of Time in too long, and I apparently misremembered the spelling of her name. Sorry. Of course I know the difference between FA and FU. I could never not know a kana. Sorry about this, Ziggurism. Schwarzorn (talk) 22:42, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, Schwarzorn. Sorry about the off-topic discussion, Tony. In the future I will ask such questions on some forum. Ziggurism (talk) 01:16, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
