I'm sorry, but this had to be quoted again for truth.
By the way, what race is Tingle? He was introduced in Termina, but he's been around to see the Great Sea, but he's even been around early enough to see the Four Swords Adventures in Hyrule.
hes also in OoX. TRR makes it clear that there has been, and at one time there can be more than one tingle. its the name given to those who work for uncle rupee. in TRR tingle is a middle aged Hylian before he becomes tingle. its pretty obvious that he is Hylian seeing as how he has the pointy ears just like them.
