Follow the sword...

This is what we Zelda players dream of.

Er...I'm lost.

Need another hint?

Heh

I'd buy that for a dollar.

Why does Link's horse have a face and horns?

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2004-11-12 02:32am

Actually, it looks like Link is riding a goat with a face. That ain't a horse's tail there.

Pcm979 · Post by **Pcm979** » 2004-11-12 02:33am

Well, why's he riding a goat with a face, then?

Don't ask me

I noticed that after I posted. I'd guess either the guy who made the poster or one of the owners of Nintendo or makers of the Zelda games. Can't make it out.

Ok...it's a freaky little gnome. Is there some sort of hatred of freaky little gnomes in Zelda?

Yeah. This freaky little gnome is named Tingle.

In Zelda: The Wind Waker he dances around like an idiot, makes annoying noises, thanks you for helping him, and then proceeds to charge you several thousand rupees to decode a map and tells you to find 8 more maps and give him more money. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES TO SAVE UP A THOUSAND RUPEES? At the start of the game your wallet can only hold 99! I HATE THAT LITTLE BUGGER! I spent more time making money to pay off Tingle than anything else in the entire game!

And in Zelda: Four Swords whenever a large amount of gems are on the screen he flies in with his balloon and tries to steal them from you. So fun to pop the balloon over lava...

There's even a petition somewhere to Nintendo to have Tingle die in the next Zelda game.

You've not played Zelda? He is the most annoying character anywhere ever. Ep 1 Anakin would be a major improvement, to give you an idea.

Bad example.
Annie doesn't even compare.
Jar-Jar would be a major improvement.
Now that's scary

ROFLMFAO!!!

Anyways, the only Zelda game I've ever played (and never finished) was the one for SNES. I don't recall a Tingle in that one. But yeah, he sounds like a real asshole.

Tingle first appeared in Majora's Mask, just to clarify.

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2004-11-12 02:51am

Let me get this straight. The Master Sword can defeat Ganondorf, but can't kill some stupid gnomish usurer?

Correct, but I never owned that game so I never got far enough to see what horrible things he does to you.

He also appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee on one Zelda stage. I love popping his balloon and sending him falling dooowwwnnnn....

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2004-11-12 02:52am

Oh, he's not that annoying if you just ignore him.

Hell, they actually toned him down a little in TWW compared to MM.

IRG CommandoJoe · Post by **IRG CommandoJoe** » 2004-11-12 02:53am

How could you ignore him if you have to pay him to get maps and he tries to steal your money? If that was me, I'd constantly try to kill him.

Sadly, yes. I'm hoping he'll charge Link some outrageous sum in the next game that'll result in Link shaving his head off. Maybe make Tingle a boss with a ton of health so we can get a feel for whacking him over and over with the sword. And if it's not replayable, I'll be annoyed.

IRG CommandoJoe · Post by **IRG CommandoJoe** » 2004-11-12 02:54am

Yeah, and then with each whack rupees spill out.

You just don't pay attention to him.

In Four Swords, me and a friend (two player co-op) did that on purpose, actually. We'd injure ourselves to dump large amounts of money on the screen, then pop his balloon over pits of lava, or pits of toxic goo, or drop him on the floor and dive through a door just before a massive bomb nukes the entire stage... etc

I fail to see how you couldn't pay attention to him considering you have to deal with him.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2004-11-12 02:57am

Shit, I can do it all the time. You just ignore stuff while you're dealing with them.
