Bro looked like a nonce to me

Tingle was an absolute creep but I accepted him as part of the Zelda universe.

Tingle was my favourite character

Petition to bring back the lovably annoying Tingle??? I miss him. I think its nice theres an island named after him in totk...but i miss the dude.

To be fair, Tingle had creepy vibes, and it leaves the community very divided.. You either really liked him, or really hated him. I'm not a big fan of him, but he did have a niche in the game that only he filled, a goofy character with a cringe energetic personality. So while I don't really like him, I'd still hate to see that he disappeared forever, if just to have character variety and uniqueness.

They didn’t even want him in Hyrule Warriors 😂 but still brought him in DLC

Because of his legal problems

but how does tingle live long enough to meet multiple generations of link? or is he similar to link where a new tingle is born every time?

Fucking yanks ruining it for the rest of us as usual. Instead of Tingle we just get Beedle in every single game now, over and over again. Boring. Bring tingle back!

I really don't understand people that dislike koroks because you "have to get all of them" Because you don't That was your decision, and the game plays perfectly great with just finding a lil guy every now and then :(

I feel like this misses the main complaint about the koroks, the repetitiveness and frustration you touched on it the beginning. It's not FOMO or the puzzles. It's sitting through Hestu cut scenes as you one at a time try to upgrade to hold more weapons.

Tingle hanging out with Toadsworth

forgot the MASSIVE increase of copy-paste in TOTK. It's bad in both, but it's unbearable in TOTK.

the amount of seeds you need for vital inventory space upgrades to be able to carry all of the utility crap around (fire, ice, lightning, hammer, a few dps weapons a few weak monster fodder) was fine in botw because you could ignore the other two categories the weapon fusing made koroks an unavoidable chore in totk where you now need to worry about a inventory of fused shields with useful effects and shields breaking / being swapped out much more frequently, thus the need to stockpile them and the useful arrow attachments means i used bows 3x as frequently and broke them 3x as frequently i never found the korok mask in botw and had a bunch of weapon inventory upgrades (maybe was stuck at 17 / out of whatever next upgrade costed) and had a very small inventory / wasted very little time searching for them whereas totk its very easy to get the korok mask early and then you're now monotonously scraping every area because you got the notification one is nearby, and you need that cash they honestly just needed an npc who would sell you the seeds still on the map, and let you pick which kinds of puzzles to skip (if you, for example enjoyed doing rock / diving / ascend puzzles it would categorize them and let you buy the ones you hated) or an npc per zone that just sold an extra 5-10 seeds for increasing rupee prices, like the bonus moons you could buy in odyssey to keep playing past a moon gate, rewarding the player for expedience in combat / treasure finding / finding an economic exploit like ores etc instead the rupee sink in this game was buying pointless house pieces

I like the Koroks and I typically like to complete all content in games. However, I have my limits and never bothered trying to complete BotW or TotK. I’d wind up hating the games. I don’t even max out all armor as the grind/farming in these games are really my only major complaint. Farming upgrade materials has gotten rather stale because so many games do it now.

I'm on my 2nd playthrough of Breath of the Wild now. I do think Tears of the Kingdom is superior, but they are different enough that you can still enjoy BOTW. It was still awesome getting off the plateau for the first time (again), filling in the map. Soon I'll take on the divine beasts.

I always thought BotW was better. I thought there was way too much new mechanics and places that made me drift away from TotK. The simple world of BotW combined with no Zonai stuff whatsoever that made TotK feel so overwhelming made for the better Zelda game, in my opinion.

No. TotK is a more fun world to explore but BotW had plenty to itself. Truth be told though I've never started either over again.

it's about the journey, not the reward

As an older gamer, I remember seeing Tingle for the first time in Majoras Mask and my initial response was I didn't like him, but the character grew on me a bit with Wind Waker. I've had trouble getting into Twilight Princess even though I've played it multiple times now... and I always wondered why they didn't continue using this character. I feel what IGN said is reprehensible, there is no reason to be that cruel just because you dislike something.

I didnt ind him, he was weird but he was the best cartographer you coukd ask

I'm american and I'd like to see tingle again.

Can't spell Ignorant without IGN.

Is Shiggy trolling us lol

I didn’t hate him growing up. I mean I definitely thought he was weird, but hate is a strong word

Tingle sucked, I'm glad they moved on.

There's been this long running undercurrent of an idea at Nintendo that gamers shouldn't make themselves do things they don't want to do, even if encouraged to do so by game design, and I think Koroks are an attempt to communicate that. They are so obviously compelling individually, but so absurd in bulk, that you are guided very naturally into this "I'll do what I want to" mindset.

I am definitely a completionist, but I also love the Koroks because I love exploring the whole map, and they help me have something to look for when I am aimlessly running around haha.

Koroks are so adorable and make me happy! They bring little joys throughout these amazing games!

I know he got cancelled. But I don’t think Tingle was everyone cup of tea. I know both my brother I first thought he was a little weird. As we play Majora he grew on us… but I know he wasn’t for everybody. I remember getting to be a little bit older and seeing that he was getting his own spinoff games and I was genuinely excited but then it never happened and I just wrote it off never thought of it like that.

I miss the weirdness in Zelda, I feel now is way too ''artistic''

The intended reward for Korok discovery is an expanded inventory. Everything else is incidental to their existence, and how many of them you care to collect in the first place. As far as aesthetics go, I find the Compendium much more rewarding to complete, as no two Compendiums will look the same (unless you just buy all the pics).

i find a lot of charm in the polygonal look of phantom hourglass and spirit track

The reason tingle doesn’t appear in legend of Zelda games anymore is because Nintendo wants you to forget about him just like they want you to forget about Waluigi or that Magnus games wants me to forget about Re:legend

Makes sense why no one watches IGN anymore. Even me. They lost their magic and their marbles.

Windwaker overrated. People are clouded by nostalgia. I recalled how everyone thougbt it looked awful when it came out.

Korok puzzles are great. And great conceptually. Because the point is. Get the ones you need to expand your inventory slots...and beyond that...just get as many as you want to. Dont need any more though.

Team Tingle!

Americans ruining fiction again? What a surprise

bad focus groups. surely people who actually like zelda had no reason to say they dont like tingle. its like they asked 20-30 year olds or 5-7 year olds who are easily grossed out by things

More reasons why I don't take things seriously on IGN

I am absolutely fine with the finding-all-the-seeds experience! Yes, it's repetitive. Yes, they clearly don't expect most players to get them all, and are mostly making them plentiful for fullfilling their primary purpose. This is a lot like the Skulltulas in OoT bumped up an order of magnitude. The thing where you only really need the first half or so you find, and the rest are gravy is a familiar pattern. But that's also WHY we expect the prize at the end if you do tough it out to be better than a useless joke. The first time, in BotW, yeah, it's kind of hilarious - joke's on us. But by the time they're making the sequel the devs are well aware completionists are going to go after them, and it would not have killed them to make the silly little trophy at least something you can wear, if not derive actual gameplay benefit from. That said, it's not a huge complaint on my part. I think it's a bummer - enough that I may well not bother with them in TotK knowing the prize at the end isn't any better. *Shrug*

I was today years old when I learned korok seeds were poop

They should make Tingle the villain for the live action Zelda!

100%-ing games is one of my favorite things to do. BOTW, TOTK, ER, ERDLC, GoW, Ragnarok, Hogwarts Legacy, etc.

I always loved tingle, especially his catch phrase tingle tingle kooloo limpah

sure, there's definitely types of players who are more prone to torturing themselves trying to collect Koroks, but it's not just that. if as a designer you put a collectible in the game, then you actively ask and incentivise the player to try obtaining all of them - regardless of the player type. and that is still very much the effect even without the maximum number of Koroks being revealed ingame. it may not be your intention, but that's nonetheless the outcome of your decision. and if the act of obtaining all those collectibles is an absolutely horrible torturous experience, then congratulations, you just committed poor design. *no way around that.* > something not intended to complete > a finite, hand-placed number of collectibles this simply does not add up from a design perspective. I think you are absolutely correct in your conclusion that the designers never intended players to attempt collecting all of them, but in that case they made a poor decision in implementing them as something theoretically completable. for example, instead, if Koroks would have been something that spawns or drops indefinitely, then no player would have felt any FOMO.

Do I _like_ Tingle? No, not so much. Do I appreciate and love his character and respect his contributions in-game? You'd better believe it! I really wish they'd bring him back. He was a great side character.

I just found a korok in the fridge.

I never hated Tingle, and I still don't hate him.
