| + | In November 2006, ''Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland'' was released in Japan. One year later, it was released in an English European version. The story begins when Tingle, a middle-aged man, is offered a life in [[Rupeeland]], a [[Rupee]] paradise, by a mysterious character known as [[Uncle Rupee]]. Uncle Rupee guides Tingle, who goes on many quests and ventures into several [[Dungeon]]s to gather rupees. Tingle is told that when he gathers enough rupees and throws them into a magic spring, a tower will shoot fourth and take him to Rupeeland. This game was developed by [[Vanpool]] using Nintendo's permission. |

Because of her part in creating the laws of the realm, Nayru is possibly also the one worshiped as the [[Goddess of Time]], as referred to in {{MM}}. Through her association with water, symbols and talismans meant to evoke Nayru are often colored blue. |

| + | ''Tingle's Balloon Fight DS'' is a game that was only made available to Club Nintendo members in Japan. It was released in 2007, supposedly as a sequel to ''Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland''. It's very similar to the original Balloon Fight game for the NES, but it has several differences as well. It stars Tingle as the main character, and adds music from ''Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland''. It also has 20 pieces of artwork which can be "unlocked" by completeing various tasks. The game has three different modes of play. The first is similar to the original ''Balloon Fight'', in which [[Link]] must advance through all 99 levels. The second is a [[multiplayer]] version of the first game type. The third mode is Balloon Trip, in which Tingle must advance from level to level while crossing to sea. He must dodge lightning bolts while collecting "gifts". |

These fish-like, humanoid, water-dwellers are known for their hierarchical form of government, as well as their stoicism and their great wisdom.

||
| + | ''Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love'' was released in Japan in August 2009, and has yet to see a European or American release. Similar to ''Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland'', the game starts with an ordinary, 35-year-old man. While he watches a sales program on television, the man learns of a book that is deemed to make its readers popular amongst the ladies. He orders the book, but he gets sucked into the world of a picture book when he opens it and transforms into Tingle. He learns that the only way to get out of the book is to dance with the princess of this world, which is the main goal of the game. The game is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:The Wonderful Wizard of Oz|The Wizard of Oz]], where Tingle meets three friends, [[Kakashi]], the scarecrow, [[Buriki]], the tin-woman, and [[Lion]], the lion. Together, they follow the yellow-brick road, and advance from page to page. Unlike the previous installation of this series, this is a point-and-click game. This game was also developed by Vanpool using Nintendo's permission. |

The Tingle series of video games is a spin-off of The Legend of Zelda series. It is centered on Tingle, who originally appeared as a supporting character in Majora's Mask. The Tingle series began in 2006 with the release of Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. Since then, there have been two sequels to the game and a DSiWare app. While all three games share Tingle as the main character, the gameplay is different with each installment.
