Tingle

[OotLord1003]

Ok you are going to hate me but, I was recently playing WW and I realized, "How is tingle here? Didn't Tingle live in termina? Then all of a sudden he is at the great sea after 1,000 years! (I think?). But the question is, How did tingle get from termina to Hyrule?

 

[PureLocke]

First off, Tingle is immortal as long as he has rupees, so he had plenty of time to find a way back to Hyrule in the 100 years after OoT that WW takes place. As for how he jumped the split, maybe he found another path back to Hyrule.

First off, Tingle is immortal as long as he has rupees.

How is he imortal? Did he have the magic armor from TP? because that would make no sense, ya Rupees don't make you live forever.

 

[Zant]

Maybe it's Tingle's decendent with the same crazy ideas as the original Tingle.

 

[PureLocke]

Tingle is part of a semi-magic race/curse (all of which are called Tingles, he is just the most infamous of them, more info here) placed on him by Uncle Rupee, he will die without rupees but as long as he has them he will continue to live.

 

[BGuffey]

Tingle is possessed with the power of being fabulous. He can do whatever he wants.

That's assuming the plot of the Tingle games is even canonical in the main series, which is very debatable.

PureLocke is talking about the story of the Tingle spin-off games. It's a weird plot that isn't necessarily canonical in which Tingle is a special being that gains life from rupees. Supposedly he can live forever with rupees.


Anyway, how I see it is like a lot of characters in the series, Tingle appears in many games when there's no possible explanation for him appearing both places. It's simply a re-use of the character, except it's technically a different person in a different time.

You could go with the Rosey Rupeeland storyline, but there's really not a lot to suggest that game is canonical. Maybe, but I'd say probably not.

But the question is, How did tingle get from Termina to Hyrule?

3 words for you:

"Tingle, Tingle, Kooloolimpah!"

He used his "magic fairy powers" to get there!



In all seriousness, there is not a really definite way to tell. It may be that he actually DID manage to become a fairy.

We may never know.

If it's even the same Tingle then it's not impossible for him to have gotten to Hyrule from Termina. The Happy Mask Salesman (HMS) is about as weird as Tingle and has the random strange powers, as does Tingle, and he was able to travel between the two worlds so who is to say that Tingle can't. The other, more likely theory is that it's not the same Tingle.

 

[ChargewithSword]

There are two ways that this could work:

We could go by the plots of the Tingle games and say that there are multiple Tingles that all have a love for rupees or currency as a whole in hopes of becoming a fairy who lives in a paradise.

The other one could be that there are multiple people who want to be Tingles over the years. If you look at what Happened to David Jr. you could say that the queerness (weirdness) just passed on to many different generations of people.

Vote for best answer! I agree. I also believe it's the re-use of the same character in the series.

Of course Tingle can be one and the same and considering the Ruppe Theory he would be able to live not only long but also travel to all places. But I believe it's different Tingle in every game he appears

 

[bradley]

He could live off rupees, which explains why he rips you off for maps and deciphering of sea charts. I swear I wanna kill that motherf@%$#r!

 

[▲ToonLink▲]

Well I think it's because he's always floating around on a balloon! But that's just my opinion.

 

[SheikahWarrior]

one day it was a very windy day when tingle was up in his balloon, the wind blew him to Hyrule, and the ruppee theory lets him live forever

This is one of the reasons I think that WW follows the Child Storyline. He probably hitched a ride with Link on his way back to Hyrule.
