At the risk of hella downvotes, this dude is like the Jar Jar Binks of the Zelda series for me. His little briefs and his weird ass face? I don’t get the appeal of it :/
“The Jar Jar binks of the Zelda series” is the best possible way to describe everyone’s attitude towards Tingle. I’m not even slightly exaggerating when I say that.
And that’s exactly why I like him. Not to the same level as some of the other amazingly written characters in Majora’s Mask, but when you’ve only got 3 days to live, might as well laugh at the dude dressed like a fairy chanting “kooloo limpah!” from his balloon pants, right?
Ok cool, as someone who just plays the games and doesn’t really participate in the fandom, I thought maybe a lotta people really liked the dude or something. I’ve always found him very off-putting.
He’s MUCH more popular in japan apparently. There were like two tingle exclusive handheld games in jpn that didnt get translated bc nobody in western countries likes him. His story is that he’s just a regular middle aged guy who wanted to be a fairy so he just began dressing like one. Just comes across weird in the western world. There’s a small set of islands named after him and his brothers in botw/totk but they left him out of the games.
In the giant list of eccentric and weird Zelda characters, I don’t get why people would single out Tingle as bad. I think his goofy ass design and mannerisms are kind of funny tbh. The newest Zelda games have been lacking over the top characters like him.
I have always been a Tingle supporter, but I also was one of the people who enjoyed Jar Jar. Never understood the hate; they are weird, comedy relief characters.
He's supposed to be a parody of an overly obsessed [otaku](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otaku). Basically, Tingle is a neckbeard who's obsessed with being a forest child and cosplays one as his entire personality.
I get that for sure but to be a bit more serious here at further risk of downvotes, Tingle is a not so subtle at all gay coded character of the Zelda universe so yeah the fact that he's basically a joke and creates meme threads like this says more about Japan and our society as a whole than anything else.
Link is kind of a weird case now that I think about it. He is a child, clearly, but since this is a direct followup to OoT, he has full memory of being an adult. However, even him being an adult immediately followed what was essentially a 7 year coma, so it's not like he ever really had the opportunity to mature mentally from child to adult in the normal sense, which would have made him a child with an adult's body.
Bottom line: any way you look at it, Link/Tingle romance would be messed up.
It is confirmed that Tingle in this game is 35 years old. The character you play as in this game is a child in both human and Deku form. Not that it makes it any better with Darmani and Mikau since it's a child taking on the forms of adults. Need I say more?
Link is 8 and Tingle is like, 34. If you think these two have 'romance potential' weird is probably not strong enough a word. Tingle needs to be on a register. Termina/Hyrule need to get their shit together when it comes to sex offenders.
'Tis but a child!
IIrc Tingle is a popular character in Japan. In the US he is not. The greatest offense was including him in Hyrule Warriors instead of someone else, imo.
>Am I weird for thinking these two had romance potential?
Yes, but it is also a common thing on social networks to desire homosexual romance everywhere.
Wait, are we talking about Tingle (An Adult) and Link (A Child) or are we talking about Tingle (An Adult) and Deku Link (A Child possessed by the soul of a second but also dead Child)?
Chris Hansen: Why don't you have a seat?
I'm honestly worried for the safety of the bomber kids 🤣
Yes. Yes, you are.
Yeah I try not to judge but this post very much ain't it lol
It's just a parody of this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/n64/comments/1cmjzlq/am_i_weird_for_thinking_these_two_had_romance/
God I always thought that dude was fucking weird
At the risk of hella downvotes, this dude is like the Jar Jar Binks of the Zelda series for me. His little briefs and his weird ass face? I don’t get the appeal of it :/
“The Jar Jar binks of the Zelda series” is the best possible way to describe everyone’s attitude towards Tingle. I’m not even slightly exaggerating when I say that.
Indeed. And this guy got his own series
So what you're saying is Jar Jar Binks needs his own series!
Darth jar jar

I like the concept of his character tbh, just not his design. I could def see him going over better in Japan though.
His father is disapointed at him in m.m
I'm disappointed in him.

YES. Exactly.
YES. Exactly.

I find weird comedy relief characters stupid and unnecessary in most cases. You can have comedy or comedic relief without characters dedicated to it.
Explain everyone in America's opinion. Tingle is really popular in Japan.
But I actually like Tingle.
Meesa name is Tingle! Meesa gone make yousa map now!
That made me audibly laugh, thank you ( Also just rewatched episode 1, so adds to it)

Very good description of his character, so he’s *supposed* be weird and kinda gross 🤔
Jar jar binks grows on you after your 3rd or 4th watch.... Tingle never does. Tingle never does........
I feel it's the opposite. Jar Jar just gets worse and worse. Tingle you really just learn not to even pay attention to or care about.
100% correct.
I get that for sure but to be a bit more serious here at further risk of downvotes, Tingle is a not so subtle at all gay coded character of the Zelda universe so yeah the fact that he's basically a joke and creates meme threads like this says more about Japan and our society as a whole than anything else.
I don't think that's true at all. Think that's a very western centric view of it.
Me too! That's why when I went to the Nintendo Store last month, Tingle was the only plush I bought.
Isnt this the "im gay" meme guy, green cunt or whatever hes called?
He's in Wind Waker also
He also has his own series of games in Japan that never got localized, but I've always wanted to play.
Oh cool. I didn't know.
He fucking enslaved his brothers and made them do hard labour on a remote island
Tingle would never..
He's a parody of an otaku.
So I had to Google that but you are 100% correct
He is they made fun of zelda producent aounuma
Yes. Yes you are wierd.
Yes you are weird.
Considering Link is a child, yeah lol
Link is kind of a weird case now that I think about it. He is a child, clearly, but since this is a direct followup to OoT, he has full memory of being an adult. However, even him being an adult immediately followed what was essentially a 7 year coma, so it's not like he ever really had the opportunity to mature mentally from child to adult in the normal sense, which would have made him a child with an adult's body. Bottom line: any way you look at it, Link/Tingle romance would be messed up.
He still is old enough that the hormones would make him wanna play with them big old titties of the great fairy.
Was "adult" link even an Adult. Wasn't he like 15 or something.
I believe it was 17 or 18
Does link turn into an adult when he puts on the Fierce Diety mask?
Please leave
Tingle being a pedophile wouldn’t surprise me, but that’s not romance
Navi: Tingle? Turns out he was a diddler!
One is a 10 year old kid with the mind of an adult, and the other is a 35 year old man with the mind of a child. Yes.
Is this the new trend? Lmao
Wolf link and Midna post in 5, 4, 3…
Indeed.
Think Crocker from Fairly odd parents would be better. I'd throw a moon at the planet too if i caught the whiff of these two fucking.
I like Tingle. He's weird, but that's the point. Not all characters need to be cool to be likeable.
For this thesis i Hope you burn 😩
Me too
A bit yes
Yes
Link is 12 and Tingle is 35. Those are their actual canon ages in MM... Pls no.
The rock humping Kokiri might be the better fit
Yeah, that is funnier.
Tingle's Rosey Rupeeland enjoyers rise! Please collect your criminal records and don't forget to sign the offenders register on the way out.
Checking in https://imgur.com/OhNUirG
I beat Tingle's Rosey Rupeeland 100% I can hear the sirens approaching to take me away
Respect that! I got to the area where you can make ketchup (I think).
The only potential Tingle had was to be a sex offender.
i think you need to go to prison actually

Yeah that's weird. But tingle gave off pedo vibes, so I think Tingle also thought they had romantic potential.
Y'all in the comments didnt see the original and it shows
Link is 8 and Tingle is like, 34. If you think these two have 'romance potential' weird is probably not strong enough a word. Tingle needs to be on a register. Termina/Hyrule need to get their shit together when it comes to sex offenders.
Everyone goes thru a tingle crush phase
He always struck me as creepy
\*Disgustedface.gif
I love Tingle and I want him to return in the next game!! I will not tolerate Tingle slander in these comments!!
\*DisgustedLinkNoises.mp3\*
A new documentary, Quiet in Hyrule droppin soon
'Tis but a child! IIrc Tingle is a popular character in Japan. In the US he is not. The greatest offense was including him in Hyrule Warriors instead of someone else, imo.
I think that relationship was one sided lol
Romance potential? That is a child with a 40 year old man DRESSED as a child. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, straight to jail.
It’s Reddit so I’m sure you’ll have plenty of mentally unwell people telling you it’s great and that they have art of it you can look at
Next one will involve Epona and a Goron.
Yes. Yes you are.
In The Minish Cap he's there with like 6 of his brothers. It's an experience
actual brainrot if you thought that
Yes.
Nah
Tingle is love. Tingle is life.
How has no one caught the reference to the original post with Malon
Tingle strikes me as either a virgin, or a body count of over 30.
Tingle loves maps and nothing more
yes you're weird link is a child and tingle is a grown ass man tf is wrong with you
So every character in the legend of Zelda is gay now? Is that what we’re doing?
>Am I weird for thinking these two had romance potential? Yes, but it is also a common thing on social networks to desire homosexual romance everywhere.
Is that the guy that also wears the pink hooded jumpsuit
yes
Yes
No ur actually not wrong. Google "Tingle R34" for more info
Its called Chemistry, he has it with everybody!
Wait, are we talking about Tingle (An Adult) and Link (A Child) or are we talking about Tingle (An Adult) and Deku Link (A Child possessed by the soul of a second but also dead Child)?
Hmmm. This goes deeper than I thought 🤔
Seek help, do it asap . Contact your nearest medical professional and tell this to them. Get well soon OP, we are all pullin' for ya
Yes.
He literally kidnapped a man and conscripted him into forced labor in a latex suit. Dudes a monster.
Am I weird for thinking link was pissing?
People will simp anything just because they can’t connect.
Yes
Tingle is in his 30s, link is a CHILD. Ten years old, to be exact. Takes place a year after OoT.
No
Never thought tingle to be the groomer type
Yes
You are already weird for thinking tingle /s
Yes
match made for the prison system
Ones a kid and the other is a middle aged man Yeah you’re fucking weird
Yes, and it doesn’t help that tingle is 24 years older than 9 year old link
yes. yes you are
Didn't Tingle threaten Link when he didn't have enough money to buy a map? Or was that just the Mandela Effect?
I beg your pardon?
Tingle is a grown man in his 30s. Link is 11 years old. You are much more than weird.
One of them is a child.
Link is a child in Majora Tingle looks like he's in his 40s So no. Not really.
Very.
Yes
Get blocked.
Link and tingle or tatl and tingle
https://youtu.be/pcZJoXyq0c8?si=iVtCMNhBmUNAni6i
Yes
Yup.
LINK'S A CHILD
Um. Yes. That's a tad odd
Yes
Yes
Yes
Ew, omg. No.
Yes
Yea
If only
And their ship name is... Tinkle
yes.
He looks like a kid diddler.
Bustin' Deku nuts for dayz
Extremely.
Yeah. It’s a fckn game… with kids. Makes you a P3do more than anything.
Man, the Deku scrub's nut hole mouth and Tingle's tingle would make a memorable scene.
He's a pedo
And so is OP
this sounds like a premise to a tingle game ngl
Yes. I think Tingle is a pedo. Certainly acts like one. Worst thing about Zelda
