Daily Debate: What Would A Boss Battle Against Tingle Entail?
Posted on March 31 2022 by Alexandria Weber
We’ve all seen our share of angry NPCs. Whether it’s Magda and her interruptible maze of flowers in Breath of the Wild or Mila’s father and his shiny, breakable pots in The Wind Waker, Link has definitely ruffled some feathers. The Town Tool Shopkeeper in Link’s Awakening even summons streaks of lightning in order to punish Link for his thievery. Thus, there are many instances where Zelda NPCs almost become bosses themselves, so the question is, what would a fight against Tingle look like?
It would most definitely involve his trademark red balloon and a smattering of confetti, but what else would be involved? Perhaps it will be a fight that requires a fair amount of deducting patterns, Tingle being a master of the maps. Or, perhaps, it could be as simple as shooting his balloon with an arrow, as in Majora’s Mask.
What do you think? Should we be able to pay him to not fight us? How much would it cost? Let us know in the comments below!
