Tingle, known as known as Tincle (Chinkuru) in Japan, is a is a fictional video game character of The Legend of Zelda series, first appearing in Majora's Mask in 2000. Since then, he has appeared in each installment of the series up through The Minish Cap, except for Oracle of Seasons and Four Swords. Since then, he has not made in-person appearances in the main The Legend of Zelda series, due primarily to the evident unpopularity of the character among Zelda fans in the United States. Instead, he has gone on to star in his own video games for the Nintendo DS: Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, currently released in Japan and Europe, and Tingle's Balloon Fight DS, exclusive to Japan. Tingle is a thirty-five year old man who is obsessed with "forest fairies". He desires more than anything to be one even though he appears to be Hylian. Tingle dresses up in green costumes resembling that of which the main character, Link, wears. He believes that this is what "forest fairies" wear. In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, after Link releases him from his cell, he believes that Link is a fairy. His suit consists of red shorts and a necklace with a clock, which is stuck at four o'clock, on it. Tingle is normally seen floating around suspended by a red balloon. He uses his bird eye view to draw maps of the areas that he visits. His father, the manager of the Southern Swamp's pictograph contest, sees him as a fool. Tingle has appeared in some way throughout most of the new games in The Legend of Zelda series, with the exceptions of The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, since his debut in Majora's Mask, either as an ally or somewhat of an antagonist. According to Nintendo, all of The Legend of Zelda games take place generations apart, with The Wind Waker taking place many centuries after the events of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, yet Tingle has been in most of the games of the series since his debut. Tingle could thus also be included as one of the "reincarnation" characters such as Link and Princess Zelda who are reborn centuries apart throughout history.
