I think that the Links should have jsut left Tingle under that rock. I hate him!!! >:(
Oh, really? And why is that?
i don't know,I think of him as this creepy 35 year-old man.If u ask me,I think something's wrong there.
There's nothing wrong with having an excellent attidtude on life. Because let's face it, when Hyrule (or Termina or Labrynna) is in trouble, Tingle is always showing his quirky side. He never loses hope. Despite all of the odds (moon falling, Veran changing the flow of time, etc.), he still has the strength of character to follow his dreams, and not many people can say that.
I think that the Links should have left him under the rock because, if they did, Tingle wouldn't try to take my force gems.
Tingle taking your Force Gems make the game challenging. And what's a game without a challege. What's that old saying? If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. There really is no point in playing a game if all you want from it is to be easy so you can kill time without getting frustrated.
Getting back to Tingle, he only comes and takes them when something knocks Link and scatters the gems. Then it's a free-for-all between the players. In case you forgot, Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures are multi-player games that encourage cooperation as much as competition. And from what I understand, Tingle does not come down and knocks into Link himself.
My precious force gems! :'( My Precious!

There's nothing wrong with that,it's just,why does he look older than his father?! :P
That's what drugs do.
First off, people can look young for their age (i.e., Tingle's father). Second, just because Tingle has what some will call odd behavior doesn't mean he's on drugs. We're all quirky in our own ways, so if you hate Tingle because of that, then you might as well say you hate everyone.
Tingle charges WAY too much for stuff life disiphering maps, with prices like that, no wonder no one goes to him.
One word: monopoly. Another few words: specialist fee. Also, you find rupees everywhere. Cut down some grass, break a few pots, kill a few monsters. Well, what do you know? You get rupees. It's not that hard. And it's not like you can take the rupees out of the game and spend them in real life.
That'd be sweet!
But are you getting my point?
It still is too much money. ::) Anyway, when Link was about to free him from his cell, he talks to him, and then said he was mean for not letting him out before Link can even do anything. I'm I would let him out, but not if he's going to have an attitude! >:(
You're not getting the point. Rupees are abundent in Hyrule. Gathering the funds shouldn't be a problem. And so what if it's a lot of rupees. They are not real.
And neither is the game, does that mean I dont care about it?
Good point, but your hatred of Tingle is founded on trivial reasons.
Well, I guess everyone has their reasons to hate or like Tingle.

And? I still hate him.
Is it really too much to ask for an open mind?
Yeah, I dont change my mind just cuz someone asks me too.
tingle is just a misunderstood 35 year old man, who needs to grow up and accept the fact a fairy wont come to him because hes not a kokiri.
and at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Majora%27s_Mask_characters#Tingle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Majora%27s_Mask_characters#Tingle) wikipedia it says that tingle is probably developmentally challenged
Nabooru, I'm asking you to think about it. Will you at least let me know you gave some thought to it. And Saria returns, anyone can edit a Wikipedia article, meaning that people can input their opinions on something. And so what if he's thirty-five and wants to be a faerie. Ever heard of people being a kid at heart? That's Tingle for you. How dare he try to be happy.
Not really but i dont need another warning so I shall say no more.
If I'm remembering correctly, the people of Windfall Island put him in that cell because of the way he dressed, or danced around town or something. I'm not sure what happened. What happened?
Well, if they did put Tingle into jail for the way he dressed, why not Zunari? He's wearing a parka during either spring or summer. I know he comes from a colder land, but still, people would think that is strange also.
Also, Tingle's crime was non-violent. I believe he just tried to enter the Private Oasis to get the second Triforce chart. Had he successfully got it and not got thrown in jail, he may have just shared that information with you.
Who cares what other people think of a certain character...
im not an evil creature who tries to stop people from being happy.
if you ask me the living bomb chus are far far worse than tingle.
Because if they have this close minded attitude over someone from a game, they probably have the same attitude about people in real life. Which I believe you hate about people, is it not?
i do. but beside tingle in clock town there is a fairy fountain why doesnt he just go there and get a fairy. :o
Because that's the Great Faerie's fountain. He probably think it would be disrespectful he goes there and asks the Great Faerie to follow him around. And I think that in MM, he wants to be a faerie, but I can't remember right now.
maybe a fairy wont come to him because hes not a child.
and the kokiriri are children..
Link wasn't a Kokiri, and he got Navi. And the Kokiri turned into Koroks, and they don't seem to have faeries with them anymore. Anyway, maybe Tingle doesn't have a faerie yet because he didn't go out looking for one. He's just waiting for it to happen, and you usually get something you want faster if you try to get it.
Maybe that's why he's always harassing Link... if you know what I mean XD.
Hey, Link is harrassing Tingle. He's the one popping Tingle's balloon and making him fall to the earth. And you wonder why his prices are so high in TWW. Tingle is still paying off medical and insurance bills. :P
Well then he shouldnt try to sell from a balloon!
Tingle was up there making the maps. Link interrupted him.
Well if he wants to sell any he has to have a conveineint way to get down.
He probably does. Plus, we only see him sell maps when Link shoots him down to buy one. He probably has a store somewhere in Clock Town to sell them.

Plus, Tot, that guy who dances in front of the gravestone is always wearing that jumpsuit.
Tingle's a Koolo short of a Limpah! ;D
In the Fourswords Adventures, on the first level, I used a fire rod on Tingle, and he fell into the water!
:) *snickers*
Well, admit Tingle wasn't at his best in TWW. 3 crimes verus 1 good deed, and then I'm not talking about the money (which I think he had every right to ask) or the fact he was thrown in jail. However, MM Tingle and TMC Tingle were okay.
tingle is a bit... uhh... if I don't say the whole word it doesn't count right?
The only good part is hes too weak to pull up 100 Force Gems.
Hey, let's look at Link's faults for once. He dated Rosa just so he could get the power of spring infused into the Rod of Seasons. Why won't you all bash Link for that? Stupid Link. Stupid, manipulative Link. >:(
Link's cool! >:(
So what. It's about time people start bashing him on his faults. He uses people. He uses Rosa and countless faeries for his own good. If you all can bash on Tingle, Navi, Ruto, and other characters, then why can't you bash on Link?
b/c this is the tingle thread....if you want to bash Link, you probably shouldnt do it here.
There's a point that can be seen in the question I asked. All you have to do is think about it.
Yes and my post still applies to the situation.
As does his, Nabooru.
Also, yes, Hi no Seijin has a point here: Why bash on somebody all because of some differences that he/she has with others?
Everybody is different, people! It's just like saying that you could bash on that girl in the seventh grade all because she has red hair or that boy in the fifth grade because he has ADHD.
Personally, I think we shouldn't bash on anybody that has little differences that don't really harm others at all! You should take action to differences that are harmful to others (such as the pigheadedness of the bully sitting next to you in class) if you have the ability to--as stated in the Declaration of Independence--but doing it to people whose differences didn't do ANYTHING to you is completely unfair.
Let me put it this way, guys: What if you were in Tingle's shoes right now? Would you defend yourself from society's stereotypes? Most likely. He has the right of free will just like everyone else here. He deserves a chance, as does any other character that's misunderstood.
Thank you for the support, MagmarFire. I see that some of my wisdom is rubbing off on you. :D
Hey guys, I agree. But TWW Tingle DID harm others, so we can bash him. ^^
Okay, if David Jr., Knuckle, and Ankle wanted to, they could've left. Nothing was really stopping them. What's Tingle going to do against all three of them? Tingle is not a violent person; he's not going to force people to do his bidding. He can ask them to stay and try to convince them, but he's not about to physically harm them. They may not like what they're doing, but they are there supporting their brother (savior for David Jr.). They obviously feel that they are in debt with Tingle, so Tingle must have helped them out a great deal at some point in their lives.

This is what I think of Tingle and his 400rupee fee to mark a map! >:(
(http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l214/beccabiss_2006/images-13.jpg)
Okay, once again, the rupees are not real. Once again, rupees are the most common item in the game and are not difficult to get. Once again, what's a game without a challenge? Let go of the damn rupee argument already. Actually, go back and read every post I made in Tingle's defense, along with any other post that defends Tingle. Wait, just lock the thread. All you guys are doing is bringing up arguments I already countered.
Yes but thenI said the game was not real but I still cared about it.
I don't hate Tingle because he's quirky. Captain Jack Sparrow is quirky and I like him, it's just that he annoys me. He just does.

Are you talking about my fith grade self? >:(
Out of all the characters in the whole game, Tingle (And his look-alikes) look the most like orientals.
even though tingle is very stange even by my standard hes not a bad guy.
I mean hes not an enemy or a greedy, harmful pig.
Its okay to be different aslong those differences dont hurt anyone in any shape or form, or to the point of deviantation.
Tingle's face looks weird in MM. Not to sound mean.
Tingle would probably say your face looked weird (no offense). It's hard to say what normalcy is when you apply it to humans. What may be weird to you may be normal for me.
yeah.
I bet in some countries they would say american food such as hot hot dogs and hamburger are disgusting. :o
Why is it that David Jr. and that other Tingle-guy are spinning that thing on the roof of Tingle Tower in WW? It just doesn't make sense! :-\
A lot of things in life don't make sense, and it won't make sense to make sense of it all. Just go with it.
I think it's to help Tingle find fairies or fairies him. He seems convinced he's a fairy and that other fairies will recognize him as such. I think the eyes of the "head" either are cameras or telescopes or something, or fairies are meant to see the "head" and come to it and Tingle and help him become a fairy. He could be letting them do the work for so many reasons that it ain't necessary to even mention one.:)
It's scary. I'm replaying TWW while both controlling Link and Tingle and I'm getting more and more respect for the guy. (He has to stay away from Medli though).
It's funny when you use the Tingle Tuner and throw his Tingle statues into the water, then he bombs you. :D

Tingle the terrorist. run! before he bomb you. ;D
It's hard to find the Tingle statues because my sister never wants to help by playing as Link while I use the Tingle Tuner, or I play as Link while she uses the Tingle Tuner. So I have to play as Link, and keep watching my Gameboy too. :(
What? Finding the statues is easy on your own. A statue can never be found in one of the first rooms, always a bit later. And it's usually a spot that looks like there should be something, a spot that makes you wonder: "Hmm, why on earth did they put that there?" if you would not know about the statues. Also, you can just check the room with the tuner upon entering, so you don't have to worry about both Link and Tingle.
I wonder what happens when you get all the statues.
In other words, you want me to tell you. ;D
Don't be dissapointed, but all there is, is:
1. Get money from Ankle
2. Admire them. They are especially beautiful when it storms.
3. Throw them in the water and get Knuckle mad.
Ooo! I can't wait to see what it looks like during storms! :D
why does old man tingle have to bother turning up >:( if hes stuck in jail or under a rock im just going to leave him there because he is so ANNOYING >:( >:(
And im not going to say im sorry to that old man green clothed tingle .
It is vair funny when Tingle tries to get your force gems, but then Link gets them first, then Tingle looks disapointed and goes away. ;D
Ha Ha serves him right ;D
Hehehe! Though, sometimes I feel sorry for him. Surprisingly.
he's annoying an all but deep down in you ,you fell sorry for him
Strangely enough. Maybe it's just becasue I don't think he has any friends.
he's got his brother and that over person who dresses in white .but if i was one of them i would just leave .
Except I don't think David Jr. really likes Tingle. I'm mean, would you like someone who made you work all day long without stopping?
David Jr said he bever liked tingle when you vist him down by the lake and he says that he wonders why he works for tingle
I would probably wonder that too.
if i was david jr i would just quite and get on with my life
I'd escape while Tingle was asleep.

Maybe that became David Jr.'s life. Maybe he just accepted the fact that he may never fulfill his father's dream and moved on.
QuoteI'd escape while Tingle was asleep.
One, that's you. Two, they could, but they didn't. So they must not really mind all that much.
we dont really know what happens to them while they sleep tingle might lock them up or something (thats my suggesten)
Tingle's taking out his anger of being locked up by locking up his look-alikes. ;D
he might make them more stupid at night when there sleeping ;D
I would have never thought of that.
are you being sarcastic?
Tingle could do anything to his followers
I was serious.
ok ;D
In this one video, Tingle is getting tipsy on milk... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z__vVsoJQlc ;D "Give me another."
tingles workers don't really like tingle because he is theving little rat .One night all of tingle workers quite and they left him, so tingle was alone .Two days after the workers left him he came up woth an idea .He went to the market to sell his "i love tingle potion" and he put a different cover on it so no one knew what it was .It was bought only about 5 times and it was bought by the people in the minish cap (the uniform they have to where looks like tingle's uniform and its made of tingle's old crumbling skin so i would NEVER work for tingle ) .The workers drank it and came hypnotised to love tingle and care for him and bath him and every thing else .Every one thought this tingle person was going to far so what they did was put exploding gas in some water he was about to drink and then BOOM he exploded because the explodeding gas is very powerful and so that was the end of tingle (hurray hurray).everyone was so happy that tingle would never return again .
lol! That would make a great humorous fanfic! ;D
yep it would
want me to tell you about more things that tingle get's up to (like the christmas reck or dumped in the dump ).
Sure, as long as it's not dirty. (To prevent getting in trouble) And if there's anything that is, you can just PM me.
The Christmas reck
Tingle was an old man with no friends and nobody to give him things for christmas .Tingle got so mad he lay on his bed in his borrow and lay there for weeks .Christmas eve came and then christmas came and in the afternoon he climbed the big hill and shouted at the top of his voice and he jumped down with all the people dancing around the christmas tree looking at him he nocked down the christmas tree and all the towns people picked tingle up and through him in the sky and a big srtong man kicked tingle in the bum and he went flying out of sight and no one saw him again
That's good!
The Hanted Cottage
In an old cottage there was an old man living there called tom and he died and then a nother old man called tingle went and lived there and he knew a guy called tom lived there and then died but what tingle did'nt now was that toms soul was still living there and it haunts the cottage .
The cottage was built in 1966 and it was built right next to a swamp and everybody that died in the cottage was throwen into the swamp and 3 days later there soul would come out and haunt the cottage .About 50 people died in the cottage and people belive that tingle will die there to .
One evening tingle was watching telly and it started to go all fuzzey and he went out side and got the ladder and put the ladder on the wall and climbed up to sort out the t.v airale and when he sorted it out the soul from tom came up to the ladder tingle was about to climb down and the soul lifted up the ladder and carrired it above the swamp .At that percise moment tingle was on the last step of the ladder and he looked down and he sceamed like an old lady and tingle fell in and all the 50 sould grabed him and pulled him to the depths of the swamp and he died as well and his soul hanted the cottage as well so he was now one of the people that died there and soon after that more and more people died there .
The end
How did you like that .(its not one of my bests )
It's good! You should submit it to the Fan Works Library.
First off, Princess, your grammar is horrible. You seriously need to work on that. I don't mean to offend you, but your grammar can definitely use some major improvements, as well as your spelling. Secondly, you should be putting your fanfics in the Fan Works board. Third, I highly disapprove of these stories. It tells me that you're immature and that you're unable to look beyond the surface. Observe how the world actually works and actually put some thought into what you write.
i will make my work better .I'll do some work to make the tingle hater's smile and i'll do work to make the tingle liker's smile .I'll work on my grammer and every thing else .
At least Tingle isn't as bad as those cyclops monsters that pick you up and shake all your force gems out of you. Now THAT gets me mad. >:( ;D
there so annoying
Tell me about it. ::) ;D
yup :D there was these other things that were annoying but i forgot what they were called
well then why don't you look them up princess ruto
Well, it's kinda hard to look up something if you don't know what they're called. (Well, at least for me)
well i supose it will be hard to look them up
If you kinda think about it, it gives me great joy to collect force gems and watch Tingle go away in sadness after you collect them all. :)
Tingle may be very annoying.
But he makes up for it by selling maps. :o
your right but he outs them to an expensive price
I was just about to say that. ;D
looks like i cam read your mind ;D
Some things in life are expensive, and some of them are really worth it once you get it. Like my scythe that can do frost damage. Well, I didn't actually pay for it, but if I had, it would've been worth it to do up to six extra damage to something.
Does anyone know if Tingle's in TP or going to be in PH?
i don't no but i want to find out if tingles in tp
He's not in TP, but I expect him to be in PH. Don't ask me why. Storywise, it'd be odd, but I'd be surprised if he isn't in PH.
What was it about that Tingle game? I thought it was coming out only in Japan, but I don't really know.
There are a lot of games that only came/come out in Japan and we can always hope it will be released here. Anyway, there's always a chance. I still hope it will be released in Europe and America, but the chances are slim, very slim. You can check gamefaqs and wikipedia to find its status.
Gamefaqs - nothing
Wikipedia - "On November 12, 2006, magazines Official Nintendo Magazine have claimed the game will be released in English in the summer of 2007.[2]" The page was last updated 24 dec.
Ah, I see... :-\
I wouldn't use Wikipedia as a reliable source. I would much rather ask someone at EB Games or Gamestop.
Wikipedia is reliable. Or at least, they have links to the info there is about the game.
But that would be more like saying the websites that they give links to are reliable.
No. Wikipedia is reliable because they tell where they get there info from and give a link. Wikipedia is a collection of info that always comes from other places. they just give their source so the reader can verify it him/herself.
I still think Tingle should let the Links get the force gems, because unless Tingle is going to help them beat Vaati, what does he need them for anyway? Besides turning his into a fairy, which it won't do.
I believe in Tingle RPG, he dies if he has no rupees (force gems?) left. So I guess he has a very good reason to collect them.
Wait, is Tingle RPG the game for DS that is believed to be only coming out in Japan?
Yep. I prefer to use that name over Mogitate Chinkuru no Barairo Ruppee or Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rose-Colored Rupee Land. :) Those two are....rather long to type.
That's an awfully um...random name for a videogame.
Well, Tingle has quite a way with words.
Really! Like that "Tingle Tingle Koolimpah" thing, I wou;d have had to be smoking pot or somthing to think up somthing like that. (Well, maybe not really)
No, you don't have to be on drugs to come up with a phrase like that. I don't do drugs, and I come up with so called "weird" phrases every now and then.
I've never even thought about doing thingd, and I have come up with a lot of weird words.
Of course, I was only joking. I come up with a lot of crazy things, and I'm not on drugs.
my friend doesn't do drugs, but he gets high off of those little octogonal soup crackers...so we call them crack cracker...
Is Tingle in any other games other than MM, WW, FSA, and MC?
Tingle RPG.Hmm...I don't recall seeing him anywhere else though, he wasn't in OoT, was he?
No, he wasn't.
hmm.then no, he wasn't.
He looks kinda weird in MM.
dude, he is in a Green skintight suit with a red speedo over it. he always looks weird.
In the Legend of Link video I saw on YouTube, Link shot Tingle down and Navi's like, "You should help him! Heros help people, even if they're stupid!"
sweet....but mayb Tingle did need help, like somebody attached that balloon to him and gave him a huge speedo-wedgie...
Supsosedly...maybe he think's he's Superman, wearinghis underwear on the outside.
Yeah, but Superman is muscular. TIngle is shaped like a...shall we say a legume of some sort?
No, this is his shape, "I'm in shape, round is a shape" (I saw this on a T-shirt)
It's off of...oh, I can't remember...no, he's not round, he has an hourglass figure...if the top was broken off. ;D
Hey yeah, you're right.
'course I am, am I ever wrong. Unless you aren't a girl, but I think you are.
Yep, I am.
okay then,I am right.
I don't really hate Tingle, I just think he's a little off his rocker and was probably dropped on his head as a baby. ???
at least he's true to himself though. I like that about him, I actually compare him to me sometimes...
Though he is sorta corny, his individuality is a good thing to admire, but I still think he's weird.
so am I, are you going to make a board about that?
A board about what?
me being weird. You hate Tingle because he's weird and made a board about how weird he is, so id I'm weird then that must drive you mad too, no?
No, there's two kinds of weird, "random" weird and "creepy" weird. You're more of random weird, Tingle creepy weird.
I think he's more of a random weird, although I see how his outfit could push that over the edge to creepy...
He either doesn't know how to dress himself, or he thinks he's a superhero by wearing his underwear on the outside. ;)
and since he can fly, whether he uses a balloon or not. But lets do the strength test. Have him try to stop a train with his bare hands. :D
Oh geez, I would NOT like to get my fingerprints on that trainwreck. ;D
The sad thing is it would probably bounce off his big belly...
Eh, he'd need to be wearing irons boots or something to stay in place, otherwise he'd just go flying, it's that clock around his neck I'm concerned about. :D
so if he's hit then you'll see time fly!...eh, sorry, I know it's horrible, just couldn't help myself
Good pun. ;)
???ugh, no its not...
I can't see how Tingle expects you to pay so much for decipher a measly map, doesn't he know he won't make any money with prices like that?!
ah, but he knew you had no choice. It's just smart business running.
He just HAS to corner us like this!?
Yup. It's just smart.
And clever, a little too clever. How he makes those Tingle look-alikes to spin his tower in WW, why does it need to spin in the first place?
he can't have his slaves getting fat, weak and lazy if he plans to use them to take over all the islands, now can he?
Maybe, but that's what tredmills are for.
they don't have electricity, so that is kind of like a treadmill. You keep walking and get nowhere.
But what on earth is the spinny thing for?
I know!It powers the whirlpools that the Big Octos use...
I always knew he was evil
we need to tell Ezlo to raise his minish militia....or his minitia!
Quote from: Shikamaru Nara on January 02, 2007, 08:18:58 PM
I know!It [the spinning of Tingle Tower] powers the whirlpools that the Big Octos use...
Okay, if Tingle Tower reaches down to the ocean, which I somehow doubt if everyone says the islands on the Great Sea are the peaks of mountains, I'm sure it might have some kind of impact, but I highly doubt it can create whirlpools.
Also, tell Ezlo to raise his Minish militia? One, the Minish want to make Hyruleans happy, and I doubt having a militia would help them achieve that. Two, the community is split on where TMC is in the timeline. So how do we know that Ezlo is alive during TWW, be it is he born yet or has he died yet?
Ezlo is invincible ::)
we are just messing around, we aren't being serious on this topic. and it may not create the whirpools, but it may increase them somewhat...which woul actually make it easier to kill the octos since you would have more time...TIngle is a hero!
Yeah, you're kinda right. It would be a hassle to keeps sterring around in a circle and trying to fire bombs at the same time.
Tingle must have sucksion cups at the bottom of his feet because it makes a "popple" sound when he walks.
maybe he has gas... :odoesn't it do that when anyone walks?
I could be, but if it really smelled, it would be funny to see Link put his shirt collar over his nose the way I do when guys spray too much Axe.
or if he passed out
Shikamaru and Vaati, you have little idea how much you've been posting non-stop, have you?
Well, I think Four pages is too much for a regular two people talking, now it's pretty much a conversarion. A warning for each of you.
Hi no Seijin posted on this page, and, like, two or three pages back, y'know.
Don't push it Vaati...it was pretty much continous.
Alright, back to Tingle...
actually...we have been talking about Tingle the whole time...I thought convo posting only counted if it went off topic...oh well. Month is almost over anways. I wonder what roles Tingle will play in the future, and where his game will be on the storyline...
I don't know if I aksed this before, but, do you think he'll be in PH?
i dont know if you asked me before either, but I think he will. it is the same world, isn't it?
PH takes place a few months or so after TWW. So it is possible for Tingle to be in it, but it's not like that's a bad thing if you actually look at Tingle's good points.
like his extraordinary fashion sense ::)
That, and his ability to provide maps of excellent quality. And let's not forget his ability to keep a good sense of humor when the land he's currently in is in trouble.
and he can shoot confetti.
And who doesn't love confetti? Well, the people that have to clean up don't, but they don't count in this situation, especially since they're getting paid to clean it up.
yeah, like a rupee a month...Tingle also has super-cheapness.
What's up with the clock necklace thing he wears? He looks like he's trying to mock the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. ;D
I'm late, I'm late, for my Michael Jackson date...
:o...MWAHAHAH!!!! LMAO! ;D
Tingle is evil in this game. You rescue him, and every time a big power jewel thing appears he tries to steal it from you.
Yeah, which makes me laugh when he's really close to taking my big force gem, them I take it before he does, and he turns back around and moans sadly.
If you jump up with Roc's Feather and slash him, he falls down. Fun!
Wow! I never knew that, the next time I get the Roc's Feather, I should do that. ;) ;D
I wanna use the fire rod on the balloon. Hopefully it's a hydrogen balloon.
Just shoot it with your arrows and pop the durned thing!
if it was filled with hydrogen fire would make it go kaboom...
I usually do it during the level with the village missing all those children. The one next to the coast.
The Village of the Blue Maiden?
Uhuh, because it's almost impossible to get hurt in that level. ;)
Yeah, the only time you CAN get hurt is when Shadow Link charges at you, and it's pretty hard not to dogde that.
Out of all the pictures in the world, this about sums up all the weird ones!(http://zs.ffshrine.org/album/majoras-mask/art/zmm-tingle.jpg)
Well, there's pretty much every modern art painting that's equally as bad, but yes, that's scary.
He's very evil in TWW, too.
How? When he charges alot of money for desiphering maps?
He enslaved his brothers. ::)
Is the pointy thing his hair.
Charges too much money for deciphiring maps and stole Tingle's Tower from his brother.
What happened to that thing here on TDC on why Tingle sucks? BTW, you guys know that there is a glitch that in Lake Hylia if you use the Fire Rod to pop Tingle's balloon and he falls into the water, he'll never come back again. :P
:o :o :o :o In my search for this thing, I found TDC's old encylcopedia and I randomly clicked on Dieties. It said see also... then a bunch of odd body related things and [size=-5]breast enchantment :o[/size]
...must contain Twinrova's guide on staying beautiful over thousands of years...
What must?
nothing ;)just thought all those body related things must be Zelda related somehow.
Well, to find it, click 'Compedium of Hyrule' on the right side of the creen, and look through the page for 'The Terrible Truth About Tingle'.
I won't link it, I want to see you're capable of finding it on your own. If you can, I'll link to you from now on. This is NOT a challenge.
Found it, its under Article Index.
Let's not forget he kidnapped David Jr.
I thought he rescued him when he was adrift at sea?
And forced him in to slavery...
Taking someone by force means kidnapping.
Alright, he recscued David Jr. but kept him against his willl, that's called kidnapping.

There's nothing wrong with having an excellent attidtude on life. Because let's face it, when Hyrule (or Termina or Labrynna) is in trouble, Tingle is always showing his quirky side. He never loses hope. Despite all of the odds (moon falling, Veran changing the flow of time, etc.), he still has the strength of character to follow his dreams, and not many people can say that.
Ya if your dreams include things like selling maps that should be for free, forcing people to pay to read something they need to beat the game, and stealing Rupees/Force Gems that belongs to somebody else.
Well...the force gems don't really belong to anybody until the person picks it up. And even then, Tingle doesn't snatch them right from Link's hands (or pockets or whatever). But Link does need the Force Gems more than Tingle.
As far as I know, Tingle is just another human (or Hylian) and he want Force Gems to help him become a fairy or something like that. But Link is on a mission to save Hyrule. And when it comes to that, I think Tingle can wait just a little longer for him to get what he wants.

Maps: How DARE he try to make a living?
Triforce Charts: Wow. It's just another obstacle. I hate those stupid bosses, having to fight them to get an item I need to beat the game...
Shika's right. Tingle should be able to make a living. And hey, maybe making maps is the only thing he can do? Of course deciphering the maps in WW is pretty expensive for what they are, which I don't think is very fair since you have to pay all that money in order to get through the game. Actually, one of my files is on that (the other two: beaten, and the other in the Forest Haven) and if all of my files where to the point where I'm getting so sick and tired of tipping Hyrule over looking for Rupees, I'd just sell my game.
QuoteYa if your dreams include things like selling maps that should be for free, forcing people to pay to read something they need to beat the game, and stealing Rupees/Force Gems that belongs to somebody else.
Actually, he also creates them. He's kind of an explorer, which otherwise is always considered cool. Even better, he makes notes of his discoveries so others may benefit from it. So he asks money; the guy needs a living too and he (probably) has faced the necessary obstacles to justify the maps not being for free.
What game? As far as he knows, there's a kid who wants a bunch of maps deciphered. He doesn't know anything about Ganondorf, Zelda/Tetra, the Triforce or anything, let alone that he's an obstacle in a game.
About the force gems, I assume they work exactly the same as rupees. In that case, realize that they are Tingle's life. In other words, suppose I wouldn't have had anything to eat in days and then I find someone who has lots of food and uses it as decoration for his house. Would it be very wrong of me to try to take a bit of it, so I wouldn't starve? Tingle just does what he needs to do to live. He doesn't hurt anyone while trying to do so, since Link easily gets plenty of rupees/force gems and even if he doesn't, the Four Sword can warp him back to get as many force gems as he needs. Besides, I don't remember Link ever saying to Tingle anything about his quests.
QuoteAnd hey, maybe making maps is the only thing he can do?
Tingle can draw (part of his mapping skill), cook (he's good) and fight at a reasonable level (for a 35-year old who has never fought before). But in general, mapping is his main skill.
In OOT the in game maps were free, in TP and WW they are free (with the exception of having to use some bait in WW), why do you have to buy them in MM?
Thats what I'm saying.
Because unlike Hyrule, Termina is completely unknown territory to Link; for which he couldn't have acquired a map prior to his adventure.
I actually like the idea of buying maps in MM; it gives me something to look forward to to buy. I guess I like the idea of spending money when I know that it's easy to get it back. Anyway, Iron Knuckle, I don't see why you have to hate Tingle just because he charges money for stuff. It's not an abomination; people do it all the time. If you hate him for selling maps, then you might as well hate Beedle or any other shopkeeper because THEY sell things for money.
Seriously, what's the point of even HAVING Rupees in the game if you're not going to use them? Just face it: Not everything is going to be free. It's a part of life, including gaming. So live with with it, eat with it, sleep with it, and move along with it.
There is a diffrence.
Its logical to have to pay for bombs or hearts.
However, in OOT, as soon as you walk into an area, bam, theres a map at the corner of your screen free of charge. However in MM, you have to pay 20 rupees to get that map that was free in the previous game.
Wow. Twenty Rupees. Very expensive... ::)
Say, if it's illogical that maps are sold for money when you could've gotten them for free, then it should be illogical to buy bombs and hearts as well. Why? You can get them for free in the wild.
And the maps you get for "free" in OoT aren't, in reality, free. Sure, you don't have to pay money for them, but you have to enter the area in order to get the map for "free." Doesn't that take work, too? So does getting Rupees. The way I see it, the cost is just expressed differently.
Hm, this whole talk of Tingle and maps reminds me of a part from the Legend of Link (Zelda Fan Movie)
Tingle: The Lost woods is a scaaarey place, Mr. Fairy. You'll need a map. A MAP!!! (Sobs) Daddy says I'm not an artist.
Iron Knuckle is right on this though. It indeed is unlogical you have to pay for a map in one game, but in the other it is free.
That said, so many rules change within TLOZ games. One time, Great Fairies just appear when you enter their shrine/spring etc. Other times, you have to do something else as well. Is it logical that in one game, enemy x looks like (fill in) and in another game looks like (fill in), not to mention the method to defeat it is completely changed/ Is it logical that the hookshot in all games reaches as far as you'll ever need, but in one game, it's too short and you need the longshot instead? Is it logical that the TOT is located in HCT in one game, and in the LW in another? Is it logical that you have magic in one game, but not in the other? Is it logical that in one game, enemies drop items, while they don't do that in another?
Nintendo just change the rules a bit if they think that works best. That's how it works. 20 Rupees is nothing and whatever Tingle asks in TWW, that's nothing either, compared to what you can get in that game.
I wanted to say something else as well, but I won't because I don't want to spoil FPTRR for those who haven't played it yet. Let's just say that anyone who "dislikes/hates" Tingle for the money he asks for his services, should take a good look at themselves as well.
Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland's canonicity (?!) is dubious at best.
And besides, that only happens when he goes broke, right? Everyone else in Hyrule somehow manages to make a living without filing for bankruptcy while charging reasonable prices, so that's a moot point.
Yes, but the amount of customers he gets is drastically low.

I'm going to guess two things. 1.) You "don't like " Tingle. 2.) You haven't played FPTRR.
How come FPTRR's canonicity is "dubious" at best? Because it doesn't have "The Legend of Zelda" in front of it or features Link as the main character? FPTRR may have a different hero, name and gameplay, but it's true to the universe of TLOZ.

The nice thing about rupees only being your way of paying for things is that bankruptcy is not the biggest disaster you could possibly face. If they are your life as well, you're definetely not going to be that easy with money. Just try to imagine that you would buy stuff with your health. You enter the store being a healthy person and leave again without an immune system.
I don't see how Tingle charges unreasonable prices. Admitted, he could have given a discount considering how often you come dragging along a new map to decipher, but that's about it. Compared to how much you, without any extra effort, could have by the time this part of the game kicks in, he doesn't charge much.

golden statues of himself, and technology far beyond that of the society around him (the Tingle Tuner).

I could certainly accept it's canonicity...if this Tingle were entirely separate from the others. Now is this a tenable compromise, or does FPTRR directly imply all the Tingles are the same? Because otherwise it doesn't really fit anywhere into Tingle's established history set forth in the other games.

Yes, but he only charges for the Triforce charts, which are only eight. the rest of the charts you don't need to have deciphered. and, oddly enough, you don't see many other ships at sea besides Pirates and Beedle. As for the tower, he stole that from Knuckle, his brother, I believe. The statues might not even be his, but he looks so much like his brother that you can't tell.

These are all game mechanics, though. Realistically the world as it is presented in the game would never be able to function. Certain elements were obviously excluded due to gameplay purposes.
QuoteAs for the tower, he stole that from Knuckle, his brother, I believe. The statues might not even be his, but he looks so much like his brother that you can't tell.
Those are fair points, but that begs the question of why Knuckle would have all this spare cash and Tingle wouldn't.
Well, Knuckle appears to be a good businessman. When you mess around with the Tingle Tuner, you can eventually get him to sell you stuff cheaper. That offers some clue as to his wealth, selling general supplies, whereas Tingle takes up a rarer and more unique trade, with consequently higher prices.

Afford his own island? The great sea is full of islands even bigger than his. All you have to do is pick one you like, build a house and done. The Tingle Tower is not made (or paid) by Tingle, but by Knuckle. Knuckle is an artist, and if I remember correctly, he uses the lower section as atelier. As for the five statues, they are not Tingle's, but Knuckle's. He made five statues of Tingle, but they aren't Tingle's as far as I remember.I have absolutely no clue about the Tingle Tuner; who made it or how he got it, so I can't say anything about that.

Those two points were meant to be read together. I was pointing out your ignorance of what FPTRR is like (if you'd have played the game, I doubt you would have used the word "dubious", and certainly not in this context) and a possible slight bit of prejudice. Hence the next part of my post. Actually, the fact you started by saying FPTRR is dubious at best, obviously without knowing anything about it, doesn't make it a crime I assumed prejudice. If you would've asked about FPTRR's canonicity, rather than somewhat directly reject it, I would've replied in a completely different way. If you want, I could explain the game's story and such via pm, so that you can truly decide for yourself whether you consider it canon or not.
QuoteUh, no? Though it's nice to see such a well constructed strawman nowadays. I applaud your craftsmanship.
Riiiiiight. So WHAT is your problem with FPTRR then? That it wasn't "developed" by Nintendo? Because that's pretty much where the arguments against FPTRR's canonicity end. I only pointed out two of the possible three arguments I could come up with that anyone could have against FPTRR's canonicity. If there's another one, why don't you prove the strawman by coming up with better, true arguments?
QuoteQuoteFPTRR may have a different hero, name and gameplay, but it's true to the universe of TLOZ.

Because otherwise it doesn't really fit anywhere into Tingle's established history set forth in the other games.
I can't truly answer this question, because FPTRR doesn't make 100% clear statements. It would require some discussion, but since it seems I'm the only one who played it (yet), that would be a rather poor discussion. :D What I can say is that the game somewhat implies that there are two kinds of Tingles: "The" Tingle (as a person) and "A" Tingle (as a state of being). FPTRR does not state whether its main character is a Tingle or the Tingle. It might imply that a certain personality is destined to become a Tingle to form the Tingle (oh boy, this is coming out way more complicated than it is).
FPTRR does not state that this (talking about the person-version) Tingle's story is true to all Tingles. However, ALL, and I truly mean all, established aspects of Tingle are mentioned and somewhat explained. His obsession with Fairies, his job as a cartographer, his outfit, his desire for rupees. Okay, so maybe the balloon and the Tingle Tuner aren't explained, but they seem to be possessions that run in the family (seriously, the sudden appearance of Tingle's uncle didn't make things easier to understand). Though, my opinion on this matter is that Link is no different. While he is never the same person, all Links do have similar personalities, traits and face remarkably similar challenges so that overall, they are comparable.
QuoteIs this really how it works? I thought he was perfectly fine until he hit the red and then he keeled over.
Well, FPTRR doesn't allow suicide in such situations. You can never die by paying for something, because the game doesn't allow you to spend all your money on something. However, leaving with only one rupee left isn't that different from suicide. One fight, one trap, and he's dead, not to mention that awful "low health"-beeping that already got on my nerves in the TLOZ games. I don't think the exact comparision is that important though. Main point is: if a minimum of, say, 100 *random currency* in your wallet would be your full health, wouldn't you try to stay far above that amount?
QuoteThat's a mystery, isn't it? Tingle hasn't been fully explained to us..for all we know, he could be immortal
I doubt it, due to the reference to an older Tingle is TWW, the reference to an older Tingle in FPTRR and the ever changing family of Tingle.
Let's just put it at this; some people have their reasons to hate/not like Tingle. It is their opinion, and they are entitled to it.
Those who like/don't mind Tingle also have their reasons and their opinions.
I've been under the impression that this game was supposed to be some sort of "backstory" for Tingle, implying that all the Tingles were one and the same. All the websites I've been to seem to say as much as well, but, as someone who's actually played the game, you're saying it doesn't imply this at all? Because, honestly, my entire dislike of the game came from this particular fact, but if you're saying it's not carved in stone or anything then I guess I'll just drop the whole thing.
They do? Well, yes, FPTRR gives a sort backstory to Tingle, but only a specific one to FPTRR's Tingle. Like with Link, Zelda, Talon, Impa, etc., you could say that the essence of the story of one of them holds true for all their incarnations, but that doesn't mean that the story is the same or that they are the same. Maybe that's what the pieces of text you read have been saying (in a poor way obviously): the game does make a statement about the essence of Tingle, the reason why he keeps "reincarnating"; like Zelda and Link, he is needed to fullfill a certain task (that will either lead the world to safety or doom).
It is impossible that FPTRR's Tingle is the same as (even one of) the TLOZ-Tingles. If only because the game seems to take place sometime after TWW/PH, due to the islands rather than one main land. Besides, the game clearly mentions an earlier Tingle and, due to the nature of the villain, implies more Tingles.
Anyway, I've seen a lot of reviews and such online that, in my opinion, fail in giving a god, honest, objective view on the FPTRR. Might give a review myself later today in the Tingle RPG topic.
Is FPTRR available only in Japan? :-\
Well, anyway. In the Legend of Link, Tingle is probably my favorite. Some of the other characters are kind of annoying, like Zelda, and that one guy who played the Happy Mask salesman (not the Happy Mask Salesman, that part was funny, but his other parts are sort of annoying, but that's just me)
Tingle is probably the best, then Kaepora Gaebora. (He was hilarious! ;D )

This is a ridiculous argument. The people who don't like him, don't like him, and the same for those who like him. It's not gonna change. Trying to apply all this realistic stuff like other customers, or Tingle just wanting to be "different" is ridiculous. He's a NPC that really doesn't have as much depth as you guys are making out.

You've taken my quote out of its context. Enfin, the maps' prices aren't (truly) relevant to the issue of paying for a map, or getting it automatically and for free. Otherwise, you are right. The outside world maps in the TLOZ games hardly ever are a necessity.
