In BoTW, King Rhoam calls it the first one.

I've always done the second for some reason.

I think I would pronounce caca like Kah kah, but the kaka in kakariko like Kaa kaa if that makes sense...

like kah kah rhymes with blah blah, but kaa kaa sounds like the 'a' sound in "bad"

It had never occurred to me before this topic that it was a Japanese word. What else in the Zelda-verse uses a Japanese name? And when LTTP came out, it wasn't like there was all this anime and weeaboo culture to push people in that direction, either.

Yeah, they're about as Japanese as all those other names in the game...Linaka. Zeloda. Ganono. Hyarulo. Harimosa Knighta. Lanomolasa.

And I reiterate, in 1992, how many Japanese words did you know?

Okay, fair, but those are in OOT, and the only other name that even sounds vaguely Japanese there is Gerudo. (At least, I don't think Dodongo sounds JP.) But Kakariko dates back to LTTP.

but in ALttP, there was only one town, so it didn't matter what its name was. my kid self that couldn't hope to pronounce the name simply called it "town." also there was very little mention of the town's name, i think a sign and that was literally it.

and it's very possible someone who now sees the pattern of Japanese-looking words changes their pronunciation.

that being said, i say it the same way as you, but i'm pretty sure i never said it out loud until playing OoT (i also pronounced Deku wrong, though i fixed that eventually).

"CAKE-a-RIH-ko" is what flowed from my tongue the first time I read it as an 11-year-old when I first played LttP, and I've never thought about any other pronunciation since....

But when I think about it, "KAW-kaw-REE-ko" makes more sense....

Pretty much all the races/species are very Japanese in naming and are translated exactly with no added/subtracted letters.
-Dodongo
-Gerudo
-Goron
-Zora
