==Majora's Mask==
==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. If [[Link]] pops Tingle's balloon, he can talk to Tingle, at which point Tingle notes how similar their "fairy costumes" are. 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.

[[File:Tingle-TMC-Sprite.png|left]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', Link can find Tingle in [[South Hyrule Field]] just east of his house. Link can only reach Tingle after acquiring the [[Cane of Pacci]] from the Cave of Flames. Once the Cane of Pacci has been retrieved, Link can use it on a nearby hole to reach the higher platform that Tingle is on. Like in previous games, Tingle will note Link's green cap and clothes, thinking that he might be a fairy. He wants to fuse Kinstones and states that he has also given Kinstones to his brothers{{Ref|TMC|2890|Tingle}}

If Link makes a successful [[Kinstone Fusion]] with Tingle, a tree will be accessible in [[North Hyrule Field]]. After Link later fuses Kinstones with [[Ankle]], [[Knuckle]] and [[David Jr.]], other trees will be accessible in North Hyrule Field and it will lead to Link acquiring the [[Magical Boomerang]].

*A doll that greatly resembles Tingle can be found on a shelf in [[Zelda]]'s room at the [[Knight Academy]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. This presents quite a paradox in ''The Legend of Zelda'' universe, as ''Skyward Sword'' is the first game in the timeline and thus Tingle has yet to exist.
