'''Tingle''' is a character in five canon [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]] games. 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]]''. He is known for his catchphrase (don't use it without his permission!) "Tingle Tingle Kooloo Limpah!" | '''Tingle''' is a character in five canon [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]] games.

In a [[Linked Game]] of ''Oracle of Seasons'', Link will encounter the [[Woods of Winter Great Fairy]], located just east of [[Snake's Remains]]. The Fairy will give Link the [[Tingle Secret]], which Link can bring back to Tingle in ''Oracle of Ages''. After telling Tingle the secret, Tingle will increase Link Seed Satchel capacity again, this time upgrading it to 99 different seeds. Tingle will then give Link a secret, which Link can take to [[Farore (Oracle)|Farore]] in [[Holodrum]], so that he can get the seed satchel there as well. | |||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', | [[File:FSA Tingle Sprite.png|right|50px|Tingle's sprite from ''Four Swords Adventures'']] | ||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', Tingle is met in the very first stage, [[Lake Hylia (Four Swords Adventures)|Lake Hylia]]. When the [[Link (Four Swords Adventures)|Links]] swim [[Under the Bridge|under a bridge]], they can pick up a rock and reveal Tingle. He immediately determines that Link must be the fairy he has been dreaming of.{{Ref|FSA|1827-1828|Tingle}} In appreciation, he shares that he has been searching for [[Force Gem]]s and that good things will come from collecting them.{{Ref|FSA|1831|Tingle}} He then says his catchphrase and flies away on a balloon.{{Ref|FSA|1829|Tingle}} | |||
From then on, Tingle will appear on his balloon whenever a Force Gem of a value greater than 100 is left on the ground in outside areas. If the Links cannot get to it fast enough, Tingle will take it. However, he is unable to lift the giant variants. Furthermore, the Links can knock Tingle down along with the stolen Force Gem using ranged weapons like the [[Fire Rod]] or [[Boomerang]] before he escapes. | |||
Tingle has a large role in multiplayer games. In each [[Hyrulean Adventure]] level there is a [[Tingle's Tower]], where eight minigames are available to play. Additionally, there is a setting known as "Time-up Tingle" that is on by default, which discourages remaining in the same room for 10 minutes.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'' manual|If Time-up Tingle is set to 'Yes,' Tingle appears if you linger on the same screen for too long.|pg. 25}} After 9 minutes and 30 seconds, the Links receive a 30-second warning for Time-up Tingle, followed by a note that they have a "bad feeling", and finally a 5-second countdown.{{Ref|FSA|323|In-game description}}{{Ref|FSA|324|In-game description}} At the end of the countdown, Tingle appears along with a red [[Ankle]], [[Knuckle]], and an army of [[David Jr.]] look-alikes and steals 300 Force Gems from all players.{{Ref|FSA|325|In-game description}} This can even force the Links into negative Force Gem numbers. Time-up Tingle can even occur multiple times in the same room if the Links linger long enough, but every time they enter a new room it resets the timer. | |||
Tingle is also responsible for writing the [[Tingle Times]], signs that are located on several stages which give more information about the story of the area. | |||

Link can only reach Tingle after acquiring the [[Cane of Pacci]] from the Cave of Flames.

*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 (Spirit Tracks)|Trading Post]]. | |||
*A doll that greatly resembles Tingle can be found on a shelf in [[Zelda (Skyward Sword)|Zelda]]'s room at the [[Knight Academy]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.

Tingle is a character in five canon The Legend of Zelda series games. He is often depicted as a 35-year-old man who is obsessed with Fairies and Rupees. 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 Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. He is known for his catchphrase (don't use it without his permission!) "Tingle Tingle Kooloo Limpah!"
Majora's Mask
Tingle made his The Legend of Zelda debut in the second of the two Nintendo 64 Zelda games, 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, he can talk to Tingle, at which point Tingle notes how similar their "fairy costumes" are. 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 Link brings him a Pictograph of Tingle, he'll reward him with a Piece of Heart, as well as showing embarrassment for his son's behavior.

Tingle is a man who believes himself to be a reincarnated fairy. He lives off near the sea and is referred to as a weird guy by some of the citizens of Labrynna.[1] He specializes in creating maps and charts used for navigation, but is truly fascinated with fairies and magic.
Link will encounter Tingle, who is floating above a stump, high upon some cliffs in the Forest of Time, located south-east of Lynna City. At first, Link cannot scale the cliffs alone. It will be later, after completing the Wing Dungeon, that Link will meet up with the boxing kangaroo, Ricky, around this same area. After finding Ricky's lost Boxing Gloves, Link will get to ride in Ricky's pouch.
Ricky's special ability allows him to scale the cliffs to get to Tingle, who will give Link an Island Chart which he needs to sail to Crescent Island. Later in his adventure, after obtaining the Seed Shooter, Link can once again visit Tingle and have his Seed Satchel upgraded. At this point, Link will not need Ricky's assistance in scaling the cliffs, as he will have enough items to help him do so. Tingle will upgrade Link's seed satchel to hold up to 50 different seeds of each kind.
Tingle Secret
- Main article: Tingle Secret
In a Linked Game of Oracle of Seasons, Link will encounter the Woods of Winter Great Fairy, located just east of Snake's Remains. The Fairy will give Link the Tingle Secret, which Link can bring back to Tingle in Oracle of Ages. After telling Tingle the secret, Tingle will increase Link Seed Satchel capacity again, this time upgrading it to 99 different seeds. Tingle will then give Link a secret, which Link can take to Farore in Holodrum, so that he can get the seed satchel there as well.
The Wind Waker
In The Wind Waker, Tingle is first seen imprisoned in the Town Jail at Windfall Island. He is imprisoned as he is believed to have stolen Lenzo's Pictograph.[2] Although Tingle's good friend Zunari believes that he is falsely imprisoned and was only locked up because of his suspicious looks. Zunari will task Link with trying to free him.[3]
When Link first enters the town jail, Tingle will call out to him. Due to Link's clothing, Tingle will ask if Link is a Fairy.[4] He thinks because of Link's looks, that is why he thinks Link might help him out.[5] Tingle has long been looking for a fairy boy like Link, but was mistaken for some kind of troublemaker and imprisoned.[6] Tingle promises to give Link a fabulous present if he rescues him from the jail cell.[7][8]
After freeing him, Tingle will give Link the Tingle Tuner, or if playing The Wind Waker HD, a Tingle Bottle.[9] He will also give Link Tingle's Chart, which allows Link to find Tingle Island, as well as locations of Great Fairies where Link can receive Wallet Upgrades. 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 later given 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 398 Rupees each.
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 apparently 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.

Four Swords Adventures
In Four Swords Adventures, Tingle is met in the very first stage, Lake Hylia. When the Links swim under a bridge, they can pick up a rock and reveal Tingle. He immediately determines that Link must be the fairy he has been dreaming of.[10] In appreciation, he shares that he has been searching for Force Gems and that good things will come from collecting them.[11] He then says his catchphrase and flies away on a balloon.[12]
From then on, Tingle will appear on his balloon whenever a Force Gem of a value greater than 100 is left on the ground in outside areas. If the Links cannot get to it fast enough, Tingle will take it. However, he is unable to lift the giant variants. Furthermore, the Links can knock Tingle down along with the stolen Force Gem using ranged weapons like the Fire Rod or Boomerang before he escapes.
Tingle has a large role in multiplayer games. In each Hyrulean Adventure level there is a Tingle's Tower, where eight minigames are available to play. Additionally, there is a setting known as "Time-up Tingle" that is on by default, which discourages remaining in the same room for 10 minutes.[13] After 9 minutes and 30 seconds, the Links receive a 30-second warning for Time-up Tingle, followed by a note that they have a "bad feeling", and finally a 5-second countdown.[14][15] At the end of the countdown, Tingle appears along with a red Ankle, Knuckle, and an army of David Jr. look-alikes and steals 300 Force Gems from all players.[16] This can even force the Links into negative Force Gem numbers. Time-up Tingle can even occur multiple times in the same room if the Links linger long enough, but every time they enter a new room it resets the timer.
Tingle is also responsible for writing the Tingle Times, signs that are located on several stages which give more information about the story of the area.
The Minish Cap
In The Minish Cap, Link can find Tingle in South Hyrule Field just east of his house. Link can only reach Tingle after acquiring the Cane of Pacci from the Cave of Flames. Once the Cane of Pacci has been retrieved, Link can use it on a nearby hole to reach the higher platform that Tingle is on. Like in previous games, Tingle will note Link's green cap and clothes, thinking that he might be a fairy. He wants to fuse Kinstones and states that he has also given Kinstones to his brothers[17]
If Link makes a successful Kinstone Fusion with Tingle, a tree will be accessible in North Hyrule Field. After Link later fuses Kinstones with Ankle, Knuckle and David Jr., other trees will be accessible in North Hyrule Field and it will lead to Link acquiring the Magical Boomerang.
Link is able to return to Tingle at anytime to speak with him in which Tingle will let Link know how many possible Kinstone fusions there are remaining in the world. Link can also fuse random Green Kinstones with Tingle. After Link has fused all possible Kinstones, return to Tingle and talk to him to receive the Tingle Trophy.

Trivia
- There is some concept art in the Spirit Tracks section of Hyrule Historia of a train car that is shaped like Tingle.[18]
- Purlo, who runs the STAR Game in 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.
- Numerous statues of Tingle can be found throughout the homes and shops of 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 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.
