The Legend Of Zelda: 8 Things It Must Fix From The Past Games
7. Stop Trying To Make Tingle Happen
This could well be the most important point on this list. Seriously Nintendo, I cant iterate enough how little anybody wants to see Tingle ever again. Not only is the fairy-fetishising Tingle the least welcome sight in a game since Raidens naked cartwheels in MGS2, but hes also rip-off merchant. Come on, it cant cost that much to translate a map. We definitely need to see more examples of mental health conditions in video gaming, but a middle aged man who is obsessed with the idea of being a fairy and bursts into spontaneous dance at the slightest provocation is probably not the most representative character to lead us into that particular frontier. The fact that Tingle keeps getting wheeled out for cameos like Stan Lee in a green leotard is utterly baffling, so Im keeping my fingers crossed that we dont see his red balloon floating over the horizon of the new Zeldas open world. In fact the only way Id like to see Tingle ever again is if Nintendo threw a curveball and made the delusional fantasist into the twisted and sinister villain - one we all suspect him to be - letting us pound on him for a while in a final battle to the death.
