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 always hated Tingle and am glad they don't feature him as much.

I just found a korok in the fridge.

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

Tingle once sold me the Fierce Deity Mask in a randomizer. How can you hate him?

I found him to be just the right level of weird and annoying to be funny rather than hating him.

I think koroks are done almost perfectly. You need to only find around 40% to max all slots and less than 20% to upgrade each slot 8x. It is only not great for people going for 100% complete.

I think there was a shift from cartoonist to serious after windwaker

Maybe a better way to implement the Koroks would have been to set a lower limit to the number you can collect. Have all 900 Koroks in the beginning of the game to make them easy to stumble across, but when you've collected enough to fully upgrade your inventory remove the rest of them. No more Koroks, no more grief.

JUSTICE FOR TINGLE!

Plot twist: Kilton is Tingle. Look at their teeth, and general face structures. It's basically like Tingle decided he didn't want to be a fairy anymore; and went monster mash mode.

I like Tingle and I never hated him.

When breathe of the wild came out, for MONTHS whenever I came across something mildly out of the ordinary, or just something a little bit out of place, I would always be like "that is totally a korok." I literally started seeing the little fuckers in real life.

Idk what you call me. I'm done soon as I beat the story line. 😂 I don't need to complete everything else.

HES IN HYRULE WARRIORS WTF IS THIS VIDEO?

I agree with this video's point completely. Given you only need about half to max out your inventory in both games, it's clear from how many the devs put in the game that they wanted you to be able to easily find enough to max out your inventory, even late into your play through. That being said, I collected all 900 in BotW, and I plan to get all 1,000 in TotK. I just love the little guys! 😊

They could have made him a little less ugly

Strange coincidence that my favorite Zelda games all have Tingle in them (Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Minish Cap)

IGN hated Tingle because they thought tingle was mocking their 35yr old fairy boys.

I enjoy koroks by themselves, but they suck if you're trying to 100% the game. They're the only reason I'm not gonna 100% totk

Legitimately one of the worst characters in video game history.

I mean i liked tingle in small doses and I wouldn’t be opposed to him appearing again but I think the only sort of immortal entities in the Zelda series are Zelda, Link and Ganon right? Him appearing again would mean he’s more powerful than portrayed originally. But then again I only played 4 Zelda games, the first Zelda on NES, a gb one, majora’s mask and botw, so maybe he’s appeared against the lore and its original comic relief original concept in many games throughout many ages

I wouldn't mind the Koroks just being a currency, I could totally get behind that. If it weren't for the fact you need them to 100% the map. That's an actual completionist goal with a number to achieve. Even if it doesn't say 1/999 Koroks found, that map number still counts imo. If there's a number to reach, a % that is part of the game, then it is something completionists are going to go for. I mean you use the compendium for an example, but the reward for that is just as meaningless. It feels like a slap in the face to give players a number to reach and then mock them for reaching it. If the Koroks didn't count toward map completion (and completing the map is part of completing the game imo) then I would completely agree with you. TLDR; remove the Koroks from the map completion and then it wouldn't seem like a necessary part of completion. That's all the developers had to do, not make it contribute to a %.

who takes IGN seriously anyway?

I think its incredibly disingenuous for people to SELF IMPOSE a challenge onto themselves, finding all koroks, and then use that, something you were not intended to do, but CHOSE to do, to say the game is bad. Like, dude, the koroks exist so you can expand your inventory. Nothing more. If you chose to spend 20+ hours needlessly hunting all of them, YOU DON'T GET TO SAY ITS BORING.

I love Tingle's design in Minish Cap. The pixel art, the colour variations, his little dances, it's beautiful

Tingle was weird and creepy from the very beginning and even when i was a kid when i first saw him in Majora's Mask he seemed like the kind of adult that Link should stay away from. I hated him in Windwaker. Finding out the last part of the game was a fetch quest for Tingle was one of the biggest let downs in a Zelda game. I'm not sorry to see him gone.

You talking about the links awakening remake- “I just hope we don’t get an original game in this style” Meanwhile… Echos of wisdom-

Bro forgot about TFH. Everyone does. It makes me so sad.

It's funny, personally I didn't like Tingle much, but I also wasn't a hater either. He just wasn't really a big deal to me. In a weird sort of way, I think I liked that there was a weird character like him around. I do think that they should have made him an option though. Someone here mentioned that they could have had him give you hints to where some treasure was. You could find the treasure without him, if you so desired. And he could still sell you maps to the areas you were visiting, but it not be the only place you could get those maps. I feel like that would be a good compromise, that way those of us that hated him could avoid him, and those of us that didn't mind him, or even liked him, could interact with him and his wild character, and maybe even get a kick out of his humor.

Defaming the top dawg?Another reason to boycott IGN

This is also why every sage you get repeats the base lore story, so no matter which order you do things, you get the main thrust of the plot. And it’s part of why shrines are always about the same overall difficulty, the devs don’t know when you’ll do which shrine so they can’t ramp up difficulty too much for any particular shrine.

Too many? Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are FUCKING HUGE. And too repetitive? Koroks are there to make collecting items more fun. They're a cute funny gimmick in the game. I treat it exactly like collecting other useful items, I get what I need along the path and only seek out more if I'm low and need a bunch.

Yeah, I thought he was horrid then, I still think so. Glad they shelved him to cameos.

We can never rule out homophobia

I like that they had more koroks than you really needed for max upgrades, it always annoyed me in games with collection sidequests when you need to collect all the items and then you reach near the end of the game and realized you missed one or two of the collection somewhere. And of course you have to use a guide to comb over every single location. With the korok oversupply it’s much more possible to get all the inventory expansions while playing in a more natural, guide free way.

u gotta be trolling

Calling Tingle the prince of puke is some IGN level of the pot calling the kettle black right there.

So… I got all koroks in BOTW and loved it. And made me happier to know that there’re more in TOTK. (I’m still far from completing). I don’t overthink it. Just enjoy when I’m in the mood to. And it’s another reason to travel through this amazing world. 😊

In short, Tingle's gone because Americans don't have any humor sense.

Thumbnail reminds me of Krillin's face when getting bit by Piccolo in DBZA

Tingle is on the run for all the manslaughter charges he's facing for selling fake maps to people.
