'''Tingle''' is a character in five canon [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]] games. He is often depicted as a 35-year-old man who is obsessed with [[Fairy|Fairies]] and [[Rupee]]s. He is dressed in an unusual, full-body green suit with a clock necklace. He is quite unpopular in North America; however, the opposite is true in Japan, where his popularity has scored him four of his own spin-off games, such as ''[[Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland|Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland]]''. He is known for his catchphrase (don't use it without his permission!) "Tingle Tingle Kooloo Limpah!"

==Majora's Mask==
Tingle made his ''The Legend of Zelda'' debut in the second of the two [[Nintendo 64]] Zelda games, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. He can be found floating around certain areas of [[Termina]] by balloon, designing maps of the world's main areas.

Link can purchase maps from Tingle of specific areas, his prices vary from area to area. Tingle is actually the son of the guide at the [[Swamp Tourist Center]], if Link brings him a [[Pictograph Box|Pictograph]] of Tingle, he'll reward him with a [[Piece of Heart]], as well as showing embarrassment for his son's behavior.

Ricky's special ability allows him to scale the cliffs to get to Tingle, who will give Link an [[Island Chart]] which he needs to sail to [[Crescent Island]]. Later in his adventure, after obtaining the [[Seed Shooter]], Link can once again visit Tingle and have his [[Seed Satchel]] upgraded. At this point, Link will not need Ricky's assistance in scaling the cliffs, as he will have enough items to help him do so. Tingle will upgrade Link's seed satchel to hold up to 50 different seeds of each kind.
