Stefan, whom I recall lives in Paris, said Graal rhymes with Carl.

I remember one of these posts. Stefan tried to explain how it was pronounced, but since it is pronounced French-like, or whatever he said, he couldn't explain how it was pronounced. He said it resembled Grawl or Grahl, or something like that.

I pronounce it Grahl, with an AH sound.

Yeah, A Grail is a chalice (Special Cup) And on classic you collect 4 (or use to) chalices (Grails or Graals) I think that maybe proves it... dunno though

I believe it's pernounced "Grr-Al."

Okay Everyone, I have the official answer. :

Its pronounced 'Grail', when they were originally forced to changed their name from Zelda Online they were gonna name it Grail, but that name was already copyrighted by another game in progress, so they just spelled it Graal!

Please Ask anything if you have questions!

No, After ZO (Zelda Online) The were going to call it Grail, because of the classic quest. But, 'Grail' was copyrighted as another name, so they came up with a different spelling 'Graal' still meaning 'Graal'
(The whole truth)
