Tingle is an eccentric, middle-aged man who appears in several games within The Legend of Zelda series, known in Japanese as Zelda no Densetsu. Easily recognizable by his green suit and red balloon, Tingle is obsessed with fairies and maps. He often assists Link by translating maps or selling map-related items, though usually for a high price. Despite his odd behavior, Tingle is a memorable and sometimes polarizing side character, providing comic relief and unique interactions throughout the series.
