Tingle (The Legend of Zelda)

Tingle is a recurring character in the Legend of Zelda series, debuting in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. He is a quirky and eccentric character, known for his green, fairy-like costume and his obsession with fairies, despite being a 35-year-old man. Tingle's primary function within the games is usually to provide maps to the player, which he sells for a fee. He often assists Link on his journey, offering valuable information and resources, although his odd personality and appearance often make him the target of jokes and skepticism. Tingle is typically depicted as jovial and energetic, often punctuating his speech with his signature phrase, "Tingle, Tingle! Kooloo-Limpah!" His age and insistence on being a fairy are recurring sources of humor within the series. While his role varies between games, Tingle's presence is often a memorable and distinctive element of the Legend of Zelda universe. He has also starred in his own spin-off games, focusing on his adventures and perspectives.
