I've always pronounced it as Geh-roo-doh. Sometimes I call it Jerudo, and I don't know why.

I've always said Guh-Roo-Do. It's interesting to see/hear how people pronounce different things from the LoZ series.

I'm 100% percent sure its GHERUDO.

Ger-ew-dough. I didn't think it was pronounced differently...

I pronounce it "Jerudo"... Although after reading this thread, might change my habit. I wish there was an official canon way to pronounce stuff. (For example, I'm not sure where to put the accent in "Saria" - I think it's on the first A, but I've heard people put it on the I; or how do you pronounce Hylia - Heyelia or Heelia, and is it HYlia or HylIa (accent)?)

Jir-oo-doh. Woah, I'm in the minority?? That's news to me . . . there are a few words that I KNOW that I'm in the minority on pronunciations, but this was NOT one of them.

Gher-oo-doh. Any other way just irritates me.

Ghe-ru-do, thats how I've always pronounced it.

I've been pronouncing it as "Gher-oo-doh" all my life.

It's ironic how much the internet has changed things. In the olden days, we would all have spoken to each other face-to-face or over the phone. Now we just talk to each other over text, and we actually don't know how anyone pronounces the words they write.
