50 Video Game Characters: 21

"I may be 32, but I still believe I'm a fairy!"



21. Tingle (The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask)

who the fuck let you in

Tingle is an odd character. He's a short, tubby man who believes he's a fairy and shows it by wearing a skintight green bodysuit. He also has a weird fixation on gems, whether they be rupees, force gems or kinstones.

Tingle is just...Tingle. He's this weird little man who seems so out of place in the Zelda universe. But he's there. Whether it be in alternate universe Termina, selling maps for his father's business, or the Hyrule of the far-flung future, running his own weird little island. Tingle is eternal. And he can't be stopped.

And his father is ashamed of him.

Best moment: When you talk to his brothers turning the wheel on Tingle Island, one of them reveals that he's not related Tingle. He was shipwrecked and is being forced into labor. So Tingle isn't only a weird creep but also owns a human being.

You didn't land on Tingle Island, David Jr. Tingle Island landed on you.
