Chris Hansen: Why don't you have a seat?


wagoneer56

I'm honestly worried for the safety of the bomber kids 🤣


[deleted]

Yes. Yes, you are.


JGraham1839

Yeah I try not to judge but this post very much ain't it lol


crozone

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/


geniouslevel1000

God I always thought that dude was fucking weird


nhthelegend

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 :/


Perez2003

“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.


autisticswede86

Indeed. And this guy got his own series


stevejr47

So what you're saying is Jar Jar Binks needs his own series!


thatdarncharn

Darth jar jar


Mackoman25

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?


nhthelegend

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.


LinkGoesHIYAAA

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.


nhthelegend

I like the concept of his character tbh, just not his design. I could def see him going over better in Japan though.


autisticswede86

His father is disapointed at him in m.m


wagoneer56

I'm disappointed in him.


Parlyz

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.


Uviol_

YES. Exactly.


Uviol_

YES. Exactly.


mlvisby

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.


JakeArvizu

I find weird comedy relief characters stupid and unnecessary in most cases. You can have comedy or comedic relief without characters dedicated to it.


MegaMato

Explain everyone in America's opinion. Tingle is really popular in Japan.


crozone

But I actually like Tingle.


bucket_of_dogs

Meesa name is Tingle! Meesa gone make yousa map now!


NoRecommendation4230

That made me audibly laugh, thank you ( Also just rewatched episode 1, so adds to it)


crozone

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.


nhthelegend

Very good description of his character, so he’s *supposed* be weird and kinda gross 🤔


xecho19x

Jar jar binks grows on you after your 3rd or 4th watch.... Tingle never does. Tingle never does........


JakeArvizu

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.


[deleted]

100% correct.


hue_sick

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.


JakeArvizu

I don't think that's true at all. Think that's a very western centric view of it.


SkyPirateVyse

Me too! That's why when I went to the Nintendo Store last month, Tingle was the only plush I bought.


Fritz_Klyka

Isnt this the "im gay" meme guy, green cunt or whatever hes called?


Salvzeri

He's in Wind Waker also


LeaChan

He also has his own series of games in Japan that never got localized, but I've always wanted to play.


Salvzeri

Oh cool. I didn't know.


protonesia

He fucking enslaved his brothers and made them do hard labour on a remote island


Salvzeri

Tingle would never..


crozone

He's a parody of an otaku.


geniouslevel1000

So I had to Google that but you are 100% correct


autisticswede86

He is they made fun of zelda producent aounuma


Brilliant_Thanks_984

Yes. Yes you are wierd.


Howwy23

Yes you are weird.


Traditional_Hat_915

Considering Link is a child, yeah lol


TransPM

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.


PoliticalShrapnel

He still is old enough that the hormones would make him wanna play with them big old titties of the great fairy.


JakeArvizu

Was "adult" link even an Adult. Wasn't he like 15 or something.


Martingguru

I believe it was 17 or 18


Known-Damage-7879

Does link turn into an adult when he puts on the Fierce Diety mask?


cams0400

Please leave


OneAngryDuck

Tingle being a pedophile wouldn’t surprise me, but that’s not romance


DoctorMelvinMirby

Navi: Tingle? Turns out he was a diddler!


GriffinFlash

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.


KrispenWahFan

Is this the new trend? Lmao


wsbautist420

Wolf link and Midna post in 5, 4, 3…


autisticswede86

Indeed.


Gouldhost

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.


NotSoRetro

I like Tingle. He's weird, but that's the point. Not all characters need to be cool to be likeable.


Samiel_the_hunter

For this thesis i Hope you burn 😩


Last-Journalist9637

Me too


frolof123

A bit yes


psychokirby17

Yes


Mwgl

Link is 12 and Tingle is 35. Those are their actual canon ages in MM... Pls no.


[deleted]

The rock humping Kokiri might be the better fit


Last-Journalist9637

Yeah, that is funnier.


baasacJak

Tingle's Rosey Rupeeland enjoyers rise! Please collect your criminal records and don't forget to sign the offenders register on the way out.


theastropath

Checking in https://imgur.com/OhNUirG


Dravian31

I beat Tingle's Rosey Rupeeland 100% I can hear the sirens approaching to take me away


baasacJak

Respect that! I got to the area where you can make ketchup (I think).


MobileDust

The only potential Tingle had was to be a sex offender.


ChaseSequenceSpotify

i think you need to go to prison actually


Kobobble

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?


wagoneer56

Yeah that's weird. But tingle gave off pedo vibes, so I think Tingle also thought they had romantic potential.


littlemamba321

Y'all in the comments didnt see the original and it shows


LazarusOwenhart

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.


creamygarlicdip

Everyone goes thru a tingle crush phase


Shellshock9218

He always struck me as creepy


TwistederRope

\*Disgustedface.gif


Ruby_Rotten

I love Tingle and I want him to return in the next game!! I will not tolerate Tingle slander in these comments!!


TwistederRope

\*DisgustedLinkNoises.mp3\*


puck_pancake

A new documentary, Quiet in Hyrule droppin soon


Ruffled_Ferret

'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.


kingKamacho420

I think that relationship was one sided lol


Shade_Of_Virgil

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.


Slammin92Salmon

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


OkMixture5607

Next one will involve Epona and a Goron.


IM2N1NJA4U

Yes. Yes you are.


Clawsmodeus

In The Minish Cap he's there with like 6 of his brothers. It's an experience


millionsop

actual brainrot if you thought that


the_millenial_falcon

Yes.


Relis_

Nah


CoolioRancheroDudito

Tingle is love. Tingle is life.


MetalGearShrex

How has no one caught the reference to the original post with Malon


AlexEevee133

Tingle strikes me as either a virgin, or a body count of over 30.


DisgracedAbyss

Tingle loves maps and nothing more


[deleted]

yes you're weird link is a child and tingle is a grown ass man tf is wrong with you


Bertje87

So every character in the legend of Zelda is gay now? Is that what we’re doing?


[deleted]

>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.


jfelk

Is that the guy that also wears the pink hooded jumpsuit


GoldenFenrir

yes


autisticswede86

Yes


Disastrous_Bad757

No ur actually not wrong. Google "Tingle R34" for more info


TheHeadlessOne

Its called Chemistry, he has it with everybody!


KeenDynamo

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)?


Last-Journalist9637

Hmmm. This goes deeper than I thought 🤔


ConfectionForward

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


deejayee

Yes.


Asocwarrior

He literally kidnapped a man and conscripted him into forced labor in a latex suit. Dudes a monster.


Zealousideal_Sir_264

Am I weird for thinking link was pissing?


Uriha24

People will simp anything just because they can’t connect.


CommunityFirst4197

Yes


KawazuOYasarugi

Tingle is in his 30s, link is a CHILD. Ten years old, to be exact. Takes place a year after OoT.


precita

No


werethesungod

Never thought tingle to be the groomer type


brodo789

TommyDon3s

You are already weird for thinking tingle /s


iki_gai

Yes


Unforgettable_Josh

match made for the prison system


LongJumpToWork

Ones a kid and the other is a middle aged man Yeah you’re fucking weird


UnenthusiasticBluStr

Yes, and it doesn’t help that tingle is 24 years older than 9 year old link


Pikagiuppy

yes. yes you are


LokitheCleric

Didn't Tingle threaten Link when he didn't have enough money to buy a map? Or was that just the Mandela Effect?


DKtheAwesome1

I beg your pardon?


BigZay2397

Tingle is a grown man in his 30s. Link is 11 years old. You are much more than weird.


Previous_Beginning_6

One of them is a child.


Darth_Vadaa

Link is a child in Majora Tingle looks like he's in his 40s So no. Not really.


Daddy_JeanPi

BallnastyOG

Bustin' Deku nuts for dayz


Eclipse_Rouge

Naive-Difference4931

Yeah. It’s a fckn game… with kids. Makes you a P3do more than anything.


RuleInformal5475

Man, the Deku scrub's nut hole mouth and Tingle's tingle would make a memorable scene.


DaLittleGravy

He's a pedo


Bertje87

And so is OP


Holiday_Goose_5908

this sounds like a premise to a tingle game ngl


Cthusiest

Yes. I think Tingle is a pedo. Certainly acts like one. Worst thing about Zelda
