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]]''. | ||

*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 car that is shaped like [[Tingle]].{{Ref|pg. 223|Design sketches depicting various railcars.

*[[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. | |||
*A picture of [[Tingle]] appears on a wanted poster in the [[Milk Bar]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. The same picture can be found within [[Ferrus' House]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''. | |||
*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]]. | |||
*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. | |||
