Thus is the beauty of Zelda not having voice acting. :P

You see, when I first read a new word, I tend to instinctively pronounce it one way, regardless of how it's supposed to be pronounced, and then I'm stuck saying it that way because everything else sounds weird.

I am the same way.

I have no idea...
I say Fee, but I honestly don't care, Zelda's still a game, and you (the player) can determine how to pronounce things however you like.

I just say Fee because I think it sounds pretty, but I pronounce other Zelda things oddly I guess so

Wow. I never thought there would be different pronounciations for this. But mine would be Fee.

I used to think it was Fee, but now I'm leaning towards Fi (it sounds more correct and gloverrandall on Youtube, SS walkthrough).

I shall be jumping on the 'Fee' bandwagon. There have beent he odd time where I would call her 'Fie' but that's not often at all. I think 'Fee' sounds nicer, and like blackice, I pronounce something based off of how I first see the word/name and that pronounciation sticks, even if it's obviously wrong (such as not seeing a letter and seeing Farore as Faroe).

Haha, a bit off topic but that missing letters happens to me too from time to time! For example I always thought that the metal Iridium was written "Irdium" and to this day I still often pronounce it without the second "I".

Fee sounds ridiculous.

"Mistress Fee", like c'mon! It sounds like a tax collector. What kinda weird symbolism would that be

Phi rhymes with pie, if you don't like it, go die :P

I think the first time I saw her name I just automatically registered it in my brain as being pronounced as Fie. And I think when someone tells me otherwise it sounds wrong. I think I just read it like that because it was literally written like that. I think Fie sounds nice anyway. I don't think Fee sounds as good.

And by the way, the people referring to a Greek translation, it's a little ridiculous. I am pretty sure it's based of the Greek letter, which is pronounced as "Fie"

I say fee, sounds cool, though its kind of irrelevant how we pronunce a Videogame characters name, Then again, this is a forum About Zelda....
