Think you know Tingle?

So who exactly is Tingle? Perhaps you’ve happened across him in the Legend of Zelda adventures – parting with some hard earned Rupees to buy an overpriced map from him.

Or maybe you’ve never heard of him or his hopes of one day turning from a mere man into a fully-fledged fairy! Either way, when it comes to getting to the bottom of what makes Tingle tick, one thing is for sure – he’s a pretty mysterious guy.

Take some time to get to know the star of Freshly-Picked: Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland a little better by checking out our list of 10 rumours that have grown-up around Tingle over the years. Can you separate fact from fiction?

1. Tingle is a 35 year-old man desperate to become a fairy one day.

2. It is no secret that Tingle is obsessed with money. As well as making a pretty penny by charting and selling maps, he will barter ruthlessly to get a better price for goods he is selling or to save a Rupee whenever he can. In the past he’s even been known to help himself to precious Force Gems he finds lying around.

3. Tingle can get pretty worked up about damage to his property, sometimes resulting in small bouts of violence. Tingle Statues especially should not be messed with.

4. Tingle spent some time behind bars on Windfall Island for stealing a Picto Box and for being a general annoyance to the other residents on the island. -Nintendo
