Tingle Siblings?



The Tingle Brothers, consisting of Tingle, Ankle, Knuckle, and David Jr., feature in The Wind Waker and The Minish Cap.

Quote from The Minish Cap Tingle Siblings? figurine: "Older brother Tingle (green) and his twin younger brothers Ankle (purple) and Knuckle (blue). They believe fusing Kinstones will help them to meet fairies."

Ankle
Ankle, who considers his twin Knuckle to be lazy and good-for-nothing, was taught how to decipher maps by his older brother, Tingle. The only time he feels he can truly be himself is when he's tending to the flower garden on Tingle Island. His favorite proverb is "One may as well hang for a stolen sheep as for a stolen lamb."

Knuckle
Knuckle can be found in The Wind Waker only by using a link cable to connect a Game Boy Advance to the GameCube. Then using the Tingle Tuner, you can find him by going to Outset Island and walking around the island, he will appear on the Game Boy screen and will tell you to go to certain locations around the island, after you complete this he will appear on Tingle Island and he will say he will stay at home.He built Tingle tower, and gets angry at Tingle for writing "for Tingle only."

David Jr.
David Jr. first appeared in "The Wind Waker" at the top of Tingle Island. There he was enslaved by Tingle and forced to work endlessly with Tingle's twin younger brothers, Ankle and Knuckle. The curious thing about David Jr. is that he is not related to Tingle, despite the uncanny resemblance.(That is why his face looks more frowny than the others and he does not have the red spirals on his cheeks) Originally he was from Windfall Island and the son of the traveler that wrote the Ghostship's charts (presumably David Sr.). But he got captured by Tingle to work mercilessly for him to support Knuckle. He is prone to complaining.

David Jr. again appeared in "The Minish Cap" along with the rest of the "Tingle siblings", but this time he was not enslaved and actually appeared to enjoy the company of his "brothers". In the game he aided Link by informing him how many more "Kinstone Fusions" he had left to complete.
