About

A Nintendo DS adventure game developed by Vanpool and released in 2006, Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland centers on Tingle, a recurring character from The Legend of Zelda series who first appeared in Majora's Mask on the Nintendo 64. Rather than serving as a mainline Zelda entry, the game gives Tingle his own standalone adventure, departing from the broader series to focus on this eccentric character. Published by Nintendo, the title launched initially in Japan before receiving a European release on September 14, 2007. It proved a notable commercial success in its home market, moving over 234,000 units in Japan by the close of 2007. The game represents one of the few spin-offs to build an entire experience around a side character from the Zelda universe, offering DS players an adventure with a distinctly unconventional protagonist.
