He wasn't in TP or PH so you you think Nintendo have given up on him?

I believe there's a few other threads on this but I'll answer your question anyway.

Tingle has been seen, and will be see in Japan and Europe. Nintendo believes that America hates Tingle, which is true for the most part. I'd say that 6 percent of the American population, playing Zelda, likes Tingle. Me being part of that 6 percent. It's highly unlikely that we'll see him again, here Stateside. I wish we would though.

I guess if you really want Tingle, you can go to the Star Game in Twilight Princess. The guy who runs the game is supposed to be a realistic version of Tingle.

We will see more of Tingle, trust my psychic powers. I can feel it and he is beloved in Japan as someone stated, sometime, somewhere (could have been in this forum actually). And if you´re big in Japan, you matter!

Actually, I've heard that they are making a Zelda game for the DS with a lot of Tingle in it:

Tingle's Freshly Picked Rosy Rupeeland

Could be or could not be a rumor. And Geez, however they fit that title on a game box i'll never know!

Anyway, I found out about it on Wikipedia, so, if you're interested, you can check it out. :D

That game has been out for a very long time, but it was only released in Japan and Europe.

Yes, and I own it, and I can say it is a very good game:)
Also, I think that if Tingle makes an appearance in a Zelda game again, it's probably in one of the cel-shaded/cartoonish titles, like a post PH game... I don't imagine him in a realistic game

Is it really? I'll have to import it then. I love Tingle.... :dry:

Well you could say that MM was more realistic-like, since it was made using OoT's graphics, which at that time were meant to be more realistic looking.

But I believe I know what you mean; like TP realistic. I don't see Tingle being in a TP-like game. Its atmosphere was just too dark and moody for Tingle. So I wouldn't say that he wouldn't be in a realistic looking game again, just not that it would have the same feeling that TP did.

Anyways, I'm almost certain that Tingle will return. Its easy for them to rehash a memorable character to do an odd job in the game, and apparently there are people who like him. I personally don't find anything likable about Tingle, but it dosen't bother me when he shows up. Hes a bit of a freak though.

I guess you can be wright. But I also think that we must not forget that we found characters like the Postman and the guy that helps you get to the desert etc. in TP. I guess they are also funny freaks (in a positive way I use this word) that take away much of the seriousness of the game (not that it bothers me though).

Have we forgotten about the man who runs the Star Game?

Not only does he look like Tingle (http://www.zeldauniverse.net/images/games/tp/characters/purlo.jpg), he has a pocket watch on his person, and he's obsessed with Rupees.

Really, Where did you hear that?

I don't quite remember. It might have been a developer interview. More or less, it's an easter egg.

It was said by Eiji Aonouma and Shigeru Myiamoto in an interview...

I guess the whole quote was:

We couldn't stand that guy(Tingle) in another game for now, and a realistic Tingle would call in for more hate. If you want to see what he would look like, or a character similar to him, go to the STAR game and see it's owner

I hope that we have seen the last of Tingle,but knowing Nintendo they will keep milking the horror that is Tingle.

I'd love to see more Tingle. Really I don't see what's wrong with him. Other than Wind Waker really in which I guess it's not the best, he's just a minor character that you can speed through in no time. Can't be that bad.

I don't really see what the big deal is. He may look horrible and charge you outrageous amounts of rupees in WW but that doesn't mean you shouldn't like him. He's actually a pretty good character in terms of the whole story.

I hope we see tingle again. I love Tingle because he is creepy.. funny and just plain odd. All my friends hate him and if they took tingle away from Zelda.. I would not be able to post this!

I do hope Tingle shows up in the next Zelda ^^

I personally wish that I never see Tingle in a new released Zelda Game.
I just do not like his personality and that mole on his left cheek. O.o

...WW alone made me hate Tingle. Four Swords didn't help. Neither did MC. Of course, that hate was occupied for a while by the wanna-be hero of winds in PH...But if they brought Tingle back, I.....You don't want to know what I would do....(grinds teeth)

Technically Tingle was in TP (what was his name?), as the guy in Hyrule Town who does the game thing.

Yes, we will see Tingle again. Take a look-see: http://www.zeldadungeon.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3176

Gaud, I hope not. Seeing tingle is sickening. Not ot mention Mario is taller than him, considering Mario is tiny. I just don't like tingle. Ugh.....but has anyone noticed the simarlarities between the man of smiles in ph and tingle?

Apparently everybody...

Gaud, I hope not. Seeing tingle is sickening. Not ot mention Mario is taller than him, considering Mario is tiny. I just don't like tingle.

I don't see why you dislike him... Is it just because you had trouble coming up with the rupees to pay him? Seriously, most people just don't like him because it's "the cool thing to do".

I don't really see what the big deal is. He may look horrible and charge you outrageous amounts of rupees in WW but that doesn't mean you shouldn't like him. He's actually a pretty good character in terms of the whole story.

Agreed. He's actually a quite fun part of the game.

I hope we see tingle again. I love Tingle because he is creepy.. funny and just plain odd. All my friends hate him and if they took tingle away from Zelda.. I would not be able to post this!

Also agreed.

It may look to many of you that I'm a huge fan of Tingle. In truth, I just sort of like his character. It really gets on my nerves when people curse any game that has Tingle in it, claiming that he's homosexual, wierd, or that "it's just too hard to pay him because I suck at getting rupees!". Play Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. Sure it may cost 40 bucks on eBay, but it's worth it. I never really cared for Tingle myself, but then I played his game. It changed my whole perspective on him. TRR is now one of my favorite games, and I have a real appreciation for Tingle.

Like I said before- it's largely just people who think it's cool to gang up on him, who really have no clue. Sort of like the CD-i games.

I think we'll probably see more of Tingle in the future. But I don't really care either way. He was annoying in The Wind Waker because he charges you so many rupees for deciphering a stupid Triforce Chart, but that aside, he's not someone to hate with a burning passion. I mean, he did give you a epic Seed Satchel and Sea Chart in OoA (don't know about OoS cause I haven't played it) for free. =P And he was kinda humorous in Majora's Mask. But I haven't played the other games that he's in, so I can't really say anything about those.
