Surely anyone who has played the Legend of Zelda games knew this was going to make an appearance. Though the low-res graphics don't exactly make it as clear as it could be, it's the game that started all the wrongness - Majora's Mask - introducing the damn creepy, middle-aged elf-man-fairy-thing known as Tingle, a deceptively innocuous name for one of the scariest characters in Nintendo's long lineage. What's troublesome is that you have to encounter this freak countless times throughout the game in order to purchase new maps and, you know, have the slightest clue where you're supposed to be going next. I guess you could just walk the Earth clueless if you
really wanted to avoid him. The guy is 35-years-old and still works for his father, who appears to not really approve of him anyway. It's a sad, depressing story, and we can't help but think with a little push, Tingle could try and cause some real harm to Link. Just looking at the above image has sent shivers up our spines.
