The Tingle Bottle is an item exclusive to The Wind Waker HD.[1]
Location and Uses[]
The Tingle Bottle replaces the Tingle Tuner from the original The Wind Waker.[2] It is a green bottle shaped like Tingle's head, with the cork resembling the Tingle Balloon. Like the Tingle Tuner, it is given to Link by Tingle for releasing him from Town Jail on Windfall Island.
The Bottle could be used to send messages to other players of The Wind Waker HD. Messages and screenshots were inserted into the bottle and it was thrown until it disappeared. A random player would then receive the message in a bottle via Miiverse.[3]
When used on land, the Tingle Bottle would simply bounce around before disappearing. When thrown on water, the Tingle Bottle would float momentarily before disappearing and if a Tingle Bottle was thrown into lava, the Tingle Bottle would disappear immediately. Tingle Bottle typically appeared in bodies of water, but they could also appear in select places on land, such as underneath a Tree. When a Tingle Bottle was obtained, a small icon appears below Link's Heart gauge with a number signifying how many messages that the young hero had at that point on Miiverse. These messages could checked from the inventory's "Bottles" screen. The maximum amount of Tingle Bottle that could be displayed was 11, though Link could still find and collect Tingle Bottle regardless.
As of November 7, 2017, with the discontinuation of all Miiverse features, the Tingle Bottle is no longer usable, making it completely useless as an Item.
