Tingle Statues
contents
Um... I'm not a fairy
You first see Tingle in the Town Jail on Windfall Island. After you break him out Tingle becomes your friend and gives you the Tingle Tuner (which is used by connecting a Game Boy Advance to the Nintendo GameCube via a special link cable). This allows a second player to control Tingle to help the first player. There are 5 dungeons and 5 statues. One for each dungeon. The Tingle Tuner is important because the Tingle Statues can only be found on the Game Boy Advance screen by a red '!'. To reveal the chests containing the statues use a Tingle Bomb to expose the chest to the GameCube screen. The Statues will automatically appear at a cluster of stone pedestals on Tingle Island. You get 50 Rupees for each one found and 500 Rupees if you can find all 5. It is imperative, if you are going to get this character, that you submit his pic before Puppet Ganon. Because this character is optional you can unintentionally finish your gallery and Carlov will pack up and leave and you will have this pic and nothing you can do with it. Believe me, I've made this mistake before. Oi! († image) |
Knuckle Statue
Below you'll find the walkthrough and LPs of How to get your Tingle Statues, ... and ... for some odd reason I remembered Knuckle appearing on Tingle Island after collecting all of the Tingle Statues. Doh! Just so you know, Knuckle does not appear after collecting the statues. To make him appear you have to complete the Outset Island Knuckle quest. Stand on the large stone in front of Orca's house and Knuckle will give you 4 easy challenges for a prize:
1) Stand in the bath outside Grandmas house.
2) Climb down the ladder to the water at the base of the observation deck.
3) Stand on the largest rock at the top of the hill.
4) Fall down at the entrance to the suspension bridge.
Then he will appear on the island and plus you'll get a hand-me-down Tingle Tuner that will slash prices for Tingle's Services on the Tingle Tuner. Get his pic and take it Carlov the Carver before your last statue because it's the one and only optional statue and once you've submitted your last pic Carlov goes away and Link becomes master of the Nintendo Gallery and you can kiss this statue goodbye. Just an FYI :). But hey, the Tingle Statues aren't so bad or that hard to get and I do like doing everything in a game. Oi!

Dragon Tingle StatueIf you've already got the boss key, you can go to the room with the Tingle Statue from the bottom floor of the main chamber. Otherwise, just wait until you get to the birdcage, and go from there.
From the wooden bridges with the fire keese (bats) around it (on the 1st floor of the main chamber), you can jump onto a lava elevator. The platform of it is also the bottom of the birdcage, so you'll have to have that cut down before you can get onto it. From that elevator platform, you want to jump to the northeast onto the ledge with all the teeth and the door, preferably while the elevator is moving, unless you can get through at the top. Go through the door on that ledge, and then keep going until you get to the gap you have to swing across. Swing straight across to the dead end, and Tingle will say something about there possibly being treasure there. Drop a Tingle Bomb there, and the chest containing the Dragon Tingle Statue will appear. († image) († text) |

Forbidden Tingle StatueThe statue for this dungeon is in the basement level. Again, you'll have to wait until near the end, as the basement isn't even opened at the start. It should be pretty obvious how to get down there once it's opened, though.
When you get to the basement, there's a fairly straightforward path into the room with the flower boat thing suspended from vines. Cut it down and get through the boards to the north if you haven't yet. Through that north door is the room with the statue in it. This is the room with the hut in the center, and it has a pile of leaves right in front of you, some Peahats (three though), and some nice attack flowers. It sounds a little bit like the descriptions Tetra gave, although not exactly the same... If you look to your right immediately after you enter the room, you'll see a little island in the corner. The statue is there. Jump down to that island, listen to Tingle's little hint, and drop a Tingle Bomb there. It uncovers the statue, which you can now collect. Now you have another statue on Tingle Island, this one in the delight pose. († image) († text) |

Goddess Tingle StatueInside the door that's in the mouth that used to have water coming out of it (just inside the entrance to the dungeon) is a room with a beamos (that pillar with the laser eye that zaps you good). Past that beamos are some platforms, which are or soon will be moving up and down, depending on whether you've been here before.
To continue on in the level and get to the main chamber of the tower you jump from platform to platform to get to a door. But instead of going in that door, turn around and look back in the direction of the beamos. There should be a stationary platform right in front of you. Jump back onto the highest moving platform, and then onto that stationary platform. You'll know you're in the right spot because tingle will tell you it's creepy. Detonate a Tingle bomb there (and jump to safety if you want to), and you'll reveal the chest with the playful posed Tingle Statue. († image) († text) |

Earth Tingle StatueThis statue is in the first room of the basement, meaning you can get here as soon as you get the mirror shield. In this room, you'll see a wooden bridge with some cursed, blue skulls floating over it, and under that bridge is that cursed fog that prevents you from using items.
Coming from upstairs, if you look to the left of the bridge, you'll see a platform held up by chains. You can float over to it using your deku leaf. Be careful not to fall, because there are floor masters (those evil hands) under you, and you won't be able to defend yourself from them because of the fog. There's another chain platform just in front of the one you should be on, so float to it, too (you don't seem to be able to make the jump without the leaf). Then there's a ledge with a bunch of skulls on it, so jump on over to that. In the center, Tingle will tell you that this area smells of treasure, so of course you want to bust out a Tingle Bomb right there. This will uncover the chest containing the Earth Tingle Statue.

Wind Tingle StatueYou can get this statue very early in the dungeon, as it's in the fourth room. That's the one just past the first room with the moving spike thing where you have to plant trees to open the door.
In this room, you can see a bunch of ledges where you will have to plant or have already planted trees, which is where Makar was captured by four floor masters. Down below these ledges is an area with some grass and the magic sucking hand things that always grow back. The chest with the statue is down there in the lowest part, pretty much in the middle of the room. When you walk over the spot, Tingle will get all exclamation pointed, and he'll tell you he smells treasure when you press A. One more time, set up the bomb, and you'll uncover the Wind Tingle Statue. Then Tingle goes on to say that it's in the Kooloo pose, which is the pose he made when he first learned magic. If you're already gotten all of the other statues, he will also tell you that there's something special for you on Tingle Island. († image) († text) |
