'''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!" | '''Tingle''' is a character in five canon [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]] games.

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 (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|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. | 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]]''.

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. | 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]].

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. | 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]].

{{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. | |||

==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 (Skyward Sword)|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. | |||
