Well, that's how my guy pronounces it... and he produced for me a little plastic ocarina that he'd had since he was a kid. It actually *looks* like the Ocarina of Time except for no Triforce crest and that it's made of plastic. If I ever go to an anime convention cosplaying Link, that thing's comin' with me. I am a tone-deaf, non-musically-inclined person (my artitisc talent is all in the visual and the written word, I'm afraid), so I cannot play it effectively, but I can make it do a cute warble.
When Bob showed it to me, I was all "What? It's a real instrument?!" Because I didn't know what an ocarina was before Zelda, either.
Could have been worse.... could have been the 'Myth of Mavis and the Samisen of Space." (Which is something I'm thinking of easter-egging into one of my original stories should I ever have a call for a character to be playing video games).
