'''Tingle''' ({{ja|チンクル|Chinkuru}}, ''Chinkle'') is a reccuring side character from {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} universe and the main protagonist of his own ''[[zeldawiki:Tingle (Series)|Tingle]]'' series.

==Origin==
[[File:Tingle-Origin.png|thumb|left|200px|Tingle as he appears in ''The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker'', which his Assist Trophy in ''Smash Bros.'' is based on.]]
Tingle made his debut in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask}}'', and has made numerous appearances in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series since. He is a middle-aged, slightly under-heightened man dressed in a green full bodysuit with a pointed hood, wears a brown belt and a pair of red briefs outside of his suit, and wears a stopwatch on a chain hanging from his neck. He is often seen floating in the air with a [[zeldawiki:Tingle Baloon|red balloon]] attached to his blue backpack. In each of his in-game appearances, he often displays bizarre childlike behaviors, including performing a strange little dance and throwing confetti while speaking signature catchphrase, "Kooloo-Limpah," and being obsessed with [[zeldawiki:Fairy|Fairies]] to the point where he believes that he is a reincarnation of a Fairy and/or often mistakes [[Link]] as a Fairy. Despite these behaviors, he is an expert in cartography and is able to create maps used by Link in his adventures.

In ''Majora's Mask'', Tingle is encountered throughout different regions of {{s|zeldawiki|Termina}}, where he will sell maps of the area in exchange for {{iw|zeldawiki|Rupee}}s. Additionally, he will sell the map of the area to [[Young Link|Link]] "for cheap" because he mistakes Link as a Fairy and was accompanied by his Fairy companion {{s|zeldawiki|Tatl}}. At the end of each encounter, Tingle performs a little dance and speak his catchphrase "Kooloo-Limpah" and tells Link not to steal them. Also, after Link (while cursed in his {{s|zeldawiki|Deku Link}} form) obtains the {{s|zeldawiki|Bubble Blast}} from the {{s|zeldawiki|Great Fairy of Magic}}, Tingle starts hovering in the air with his balloon, which Link must shoot down in order to purchase a map. During the end credit sequence, Tingle is last seen attending the wedding of {{iw|zeldawiki|Anju}} and {{iw|zeldawiki|Kafei}} from while hovering in his balloon, crying tears of joy while throwing confetti.

In ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}'', Tingle has two younger brothers, {{iw|zeldawiki|Ankle}} and {{iw|zeldawiki|Knuckle}}. Tingle is first encountered locked up in the {{iw|zeldawiki|Windfall Island}} jail for allegedly stealing a {{iw|zeldawiki|Picto Box}}. He mistakes [[Toon Link|Link]] for a Fairy and pleads with him to "rescue him". After Link sets Tingle free, the latter rewards him with the {{iw|zeldawiki|Tingle Tuner}}, allowing Link to contact him for help. Afterwards, Tingle can be found on {{iw|zeldawiki|Tingle Island}} with Ankle and his friend, {{iw|zeldawiki|David Jr.}} During Link's quest to find the {{iw|zeldawiki|Triforce Shard}}s and assemble the {{iw|zeldawiki|Triforce of Courage}}, he will visit Tingle on Tingle Island repeatedly to decipher the {{iw|zeldawiki|Triforce Chart}}s at the price of 398 Rupees each.

While a divisive character among fans, Tingle has proven popular enough to spawn his own [[zeldawiki:Tingle (Series)|series of games]], beginning with 2006's ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland}}'', a satirical RPG that mocks capitalist society through mechanics involving buying and selling merchandise using Rupees, which are also Tingle's health meter. Combat is performed simply by tapping the screen manicly while he gets into a cartoon dust cloud, which regardless of outcome Tingle will always lose Rupees from, and in more dangerous areas he must hire bodyguards to protect himself. The plot of the game involves a man having been invited by the god {{iw|zeldawiki|Uncle Rupee}} to a nirvana known as {{iw|zeldawiki|Rupeeland}}, where he will be granted infinite riches and beautiful women, and is tasked with acquiring as many Rupees as possible and dumping them into the fountain outside his house, being transformed into a demi-immortal being known as a [[:zeldawiki:Tingles|Tingle]], losing his player-chosen name, and given contact with a skimpily-dressed female fairy known as {{iw|zeldawiki|Pinkle}} as assistance. Over time, Tingle uncovers a conspiracy that Rupeeland is actually a nightmarish world where every past successful Tingle is kept as a slave, and has to defeat Uncle Rupee in a shoot-em-up battle. Tingle has the option to rescue Pinkle, to which he will be given a "reward" off-screen that appears to be sexual in nature, and gain a special pink outfit when fighting Uncle Rupee. This game would recieve a sequel, ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love}}'', a point and click adventure with dating simulator elements and a plot loosely based on L. Frank Baum's ''Oz'' novels, in which Tingle is trapped inside a fantasy world inside a pick-up guide and must dance with the princess there to return home; and two spin-off games, ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Tingle's Balloon Fight DS}}'' and ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Too Much Tingle Pack}}''.

Tingle had a few small appearances with minor roles in the series, including ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages}}'', ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures}}'', and ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap}}'', while his likeness has also appeared in the mainline series in some form, including on a wanted poster in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass}}'', a series of figurines in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks}}'', a doll in [[Zelda]]'s room in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword}}''. Additionally, Tingle's outfit can be obtained as downloadable content as Armor for Link in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild}}'', and included in the sequel ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom}}''.

==''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
===As a background character===
[[File:Tingle Melee.png|thumb|left|Tingle's appearance on Great Bay.]]
Tingle, in his ''Majora's Mask'' design, appears as a stage element in the [[Great Bay]] stage. Similar to his appearances in the actual game, Tingle starts off by floating in the air with his balloon, appearing to draw another map; his balloon can also act as a temporary platform. However, if an attack hits the balloon, or if a player stands too long on it, it will pop, dealing 1% of damage to anyone directly next to it, and sending Tingle back down to the ground. After some time on the ground, Tingle will reinflate his balloon and go back up into the air, to repeat the process.

Tingle can be used like an [[item]] with an [[Action Replay]]. He can only appear on the [[TEST]] stage if an Action Replay is used. As a trophy, his design from this stage is used.

==''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===
[[File:Tingle SSBB.jpg|thumb|Tingle in ''Brawl''.]]
Tingle appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''Brawl'', taking his design from ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'', the only Assist Trophy from the vast ''The Legend of Zelda'' series. Tingle summons random effects while chanting "Tingle! Tingle! Kooloo-limpah!". These effects include:
*Creating a plethora of {{b|Hammer|item}}s & [[Golden Hammer]]s. Note that Hammers and Golden Hammers will appear even if those items are turned off.
*Throws [[Banana Peel]]s in the air, making the whole ground [[slippery]] which results in a lot of [[tripping]]. Note that this also affects the summoner's teammates in a team battle. Characters also automatically trip upon landing.
*Releases lots of flowers, making the camera zoom in on the fighter who summoned him.
*Gives everyone [[Superspicy Curry]] status.
*Flies away releasing a plethora of balloons, no negative effects other than a possible minor distraction to the fighters.

Tingle has a spawn chance of {{Fractions|30|760}}.

====Tingle camera glitch====
The Tingle camera glitch (discovered by Supergamesiper9) involves the camera getting stuck until the match ends. To perform the glitch, Assist Trophies and [[Dragoon]] must be on. If Tingle is summoned, he must use the flower effect. Then the other player needs to collect all of the Dragoon parts. Then they need to shoot the player who summoned Tingle (the camera will be zoomed on them), [[KO]]'ing them. The camera will be stuck facing to the right until the match ends.

==''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===As an Assist Trophy===
[[File:TingleBalloonsSSB4.JPG|thumb|Tingle's Balloons in {{for3ds}}.]]
Tingle reprises his Assist Trophy role from ''Brawl'', with the same functionality.

Tingle has a spawn chance of {{Fractions|24|1254}}. He cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies to both games and only the base form unless noted otherwise):
<div style="column-width:25em; -moz-column-width:25em; -webkit-column-width:25em;">

===In [[Smash Tour]]===
Tingle's trophy is a blue item in Smash Tour. When selected, it randomly shuffles the fighters of all players including the user. Its effect can be blocked by the [[Proto Man]] item.
{{clr}}

===Trophy===
Tingle appears as a trophy in both versions of the game. The trophy can be purchased from the [[Trophy Shop]] for 300G. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask'' [[Trophy Box]].

|desc-pal=Single. 35 years old. Dressed head-to-toe in green. In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, this wannabe fairy gets locked up for being a "troublemaker". And he's one in this game, too! His magic incantation, "Kooloo-limpah!", causes all sorts of madness that'll really shake up your battle.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a background character===
As the [[Great Bay]] stage returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the ''Majora's Mask'' incarnation Tingle does as well, behaving identically to his appearance in ''Melee''. However, the ''Wind Waker'' incarnation of him does not return as an Assist Trophy.
{{clrl}}

===Spirit===
Tingle also appears an Ace-class [[support spirit]]. He can be [[summon]]ed using the cores of {{h2|List of spirits (Others)|Balloon Fighter}} and {{h2|List of spirits (The Legend of Zelda series)|Fairy Bottle}}.

In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], Tingle is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. Tingle's spirit is located in the ribbon hills section of [[The Light Realm]].

Tingle's Spirit Battle uses three {{SSBU|Villager}} puppet fighters, two of which represent his brothers Ankle and Knuckle, and is fought on the [[Great Bay]] stage, which features Tingle as a stage element. He is fought along with the [[Young Link]] puppet fighter. During the battle, the floor becomes slippery and the fighters cannot control their speed, referencing Tingle's Assist Trophy ability to make the floor slippery in previous ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. The Villager puppet fighters also frequently float on balloons and love to taunt, referencing how Tingle and his brothers float with balloons strapped to their backs and perform their strange dances.

==Trivia==
*Tingle is one of 5 characters to have been an Assist Trophy in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', but not in ''Ultimate''.
*When Tingle causes the camera to zoom in as an Assist Trophy, flowers appear. This could be a reference to the box art of ''Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland'', which depicted Tingle skipping through a woodland forest surrounded by flowers.
*Tingle's trophy description in ''Brawl'' is inaccurate. Rupeeland is not where ''Rosy Rupeeland'' takes place, but rather the goal of the game is to collect enough Rupees to reach Rupeeland.
