Tingle

Tingle is depicted as a 35 year old man, who is obsessed with fairies and rupees. He is dressed in an unsual, full-body green suit with a clock necklace. He has appeared in numerous games and his popularity in Japan has scored him some of his own spin-off games such as Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy Colored Rupeeland.

Majora's Mask

Tingle was first introduced in 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, then he will talk to Link, and comment on how they both have matching fairy costumes. 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 you bring him a pictograph of Tingle he'll reward you with a Piece of Heart.

Wind Waker

In The Wind Waker, Tingle is first seen imprisoned in the jail at Windfall Island. After freeing him, Tingle will give Link the Tingle Tuner.

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 IN-credible Chart which shows the locations of the Triforce Charts. Link must eventually seek Tingle's services to decipher the Triforce charts for an outrageous 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.

Tingle's older brother Knuckle, who wears a light blue Tingle suit, lives on Outset Island, but he can only be found by players using the Tingle Tuner, after finding him Knuckle will appear on Tingle Island.

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 appearently 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.
