wtf it's molguda? I've been reading it as molduga this entire time. Flashbacks to Hetsu ending up actually being Hestu. I'm gonna have an existential crisis over this too.
Apparently it IS Molduga lmfao whoops my bad.

The first time I played TP I read Midna as "Minda" for half the game....... this isnt a new thing for me.

Gerudo --- Grrr... ooh, dough!
Mido ------ MY DOUGH!!!

Also I think Lorule is canonically supposed to be pronounced like Low-rule. It's a play on words, ie. Hyrule is High-rule and Lorule is Low-rule, opposite names as they're parallel worlds. idk, that's just how I always thought of it.

Also, when I was little, I pronounced Kakariko like ka-KAI-ri-ko, idk why lol
