==''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.

Link will encounter Tingle, who is floating above a stump, high upon some cliffs in the [[Forest of Time]], located south-east of [[Lynna City]]. At first, Link cannot scale the cliffs alone. It will be later, after completing the [[Wing Dungeon]], that Link will meet up with the boxing kangaroo, [[Ricky]], around this same area. After finding Ricky's lost [[Ricky's Gloves|Boxing Gloves]], Link will get to ride in Ricky's pouch.

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.

===Tingle Secret===
{{main|Tingle Secret}}
In a [[Linked Game]] of ''Oracle of Seasons'', Link will encounter the [[Woods of Winter Great Fairy]], located just east of [[Snake's Remains]]. The Fairy will give Link the [[Tingle Secret]], which Link can bring back to Tingle in ''Oracle of Ages''. After telling Tingle the secret, Tingle will increase Link Seed Satchel capacity again, this time upgrading it to 99 different seeds. Tingle will then give Link a secret, which Link can take to [[Farore]] in [[Holodrum]], so that he can get the seed satchel there as well.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', Tingle is first seen imprisoned in the jail at [[Windfall Island]]. He is imprisoned as he is believed to have stolen [[Lenzo]]'s [[Pictograph]].{{Ref|They caught the scoundrel, yet my possession remains outside my grasp. Perhaps it will rot forever with him in his cell. WHy are good deeds so often repair with cruelty?" - Lenzo, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD|The Wind Waker HD]]''}} Although Tingle's good friend [[Zunari]] believes that he is falsely imprisoned and was only locked up because of his suspicious looks. Zunari will task Link with try to help free him.{{Ref|"But, I dare say, he was immediately arrested based on his somewhat suspicious looks and thrown right into jail.

When Link first enters the town jail, Tingle will call out to him. Due to Link's clothing, Tingle will ask if Link is a [[Fairy]].{{Ref|TWW|1194|Tingle}} He thinks because of Link's looks, that is why he thinks Link might help him out.{{Ref|TWW|1195-1196|Tingle}} Tingle has long been looking for a fairy boy like Link, but was mistaken for some kind of troublemaker and imprisoned.{{Ref|TWW|1197-1198|Tingle}} Tingle promises to give Link a fabulous present if he rescues him from the jail cell.{{Ref|TWW|1199-1200|Tingle}}{{Ref|TWW|1205|Tingle}}


The Tingle Tuner is an optional item for players who own a Game Boy Advance and a Nintendo GameCube - Game Boy Advance Cable, the player can then view a map of Link's current area on the Game Boy Advance screen where Tingle will provide Link with hints and advice, including secrets that can only be obtained using the Tingle Tuner such as the hidden [[Tingle Statues]] found in the games dungeons.

Link is also given a map to [[Tingle Island]] as well as the [[Special Charts|IN-credible Chart]] which shows the locations of the [[Triforce Chart]]s. Link must eventually seek Tingle's services to decipher the Triforce charts for 398 Rupees each.

In this game Tingle also has two brothers and a "friend" who dresses the same as he does. His younger brother [[Ankle]] can be found working on Tingle Island, his outfit is identical to Tingle's except Ankle is dressed in pink.

[[David Jr.]] dresses in a white Tingle suit and is found alongside Ankle on Tingle Island. Unlike Ankle and Knuckle, David Jr. is not biologically related to Tingle, he apparently was found shipwrecked on Tingle Island where he was dressed up in the silly white outfit and forced to work on Tingle Island. He apparently continues to question why he still works there.

===Figurine===
{{Figurine|Tingle|Tingle_Figurine_(TWW).png|
Birthplace: Unknown<br/>
Favorite Things: Fairies, deciphering maps<br/><br/>
It's been several years since Tingle first became enchanted with deciphering maps in the hopes it would help him find fairies, and he's lost many things during that time.<br/><br/>
He's raising funds to begin his search for fairies, hoping to embark sometime in his thirties, while the lust of life is still upon him. At the age of 35, the pressure's on!

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', when the Links cannot collect [[Force Gem]]s fast enough, Tingle will fly in on his red balloon and snatch them up. If playing multiplayer mode, in each Hyrulean Adventure level there is a Tingle Tower, where eight minigames are available to play.

[[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]].

==Trivia==
*There is some concept art in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'' section of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]'' of a train car that is shaped like Tingle.{{Ref|pg. 223|Design sketches depicting various railcars. Included are cars that never appeared in the game, including an imitation of an airplane, and another in the shape of Tingle.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}}
*[[Purlo]], who runs the [[STAR Game]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', looks fairly similar to Tingle in terms of appearance. [[Eiji Aonuma]] has stated that Purlo is what Tingle would look like if he was a realistic character.
*Numerous statues of Tingle can be found throughout the homes and shops of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''. Furthermore, a gold statue can be found at the [[Trading Post (Spirit Tracks)|Trading Post]].
*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.
