Are we really at the point where we are coming up with explanations for Tingle of all freaks?
Yes... Yes we are...
Honestly, I don't think Tingle travels through time. From what I can see, Tingle is meant to be an adorable total loser. That is to say, he REALLY wants to be a fairy, but since he isn't one, he basically uses whatever stuff he found lying around the house to pretend to be one. He THINKS he's a fairy, but he doesn't have a single bit of actual magic, so instead he floats on a balloon, tosses confetti around when saying his "magic words", and forces his brothers (in one game) to spin around a device to "keep the magic going" even though in reality the device does NOTHING of any great importance. And, like all losers, instead of embracing the one actual gift he has, map making, he just sorta does it on the side. Oh, and here's one hilarious aspect of him being like trying to be a cartoon in a "real world". Like, when you pop that balloon he falls to the ground like a cartoon, but when he slams into the ground you can tell that frickin' HURT just like when Link falls off a house, and not a bit of flatenning or body spring action going on :D. Truth hurts doesn't it Tingle? Don't worry! You are fairy enough for us!
The only problem is every single Tingle seems to be a different being. One of them has 4 brothers, while another has a father ashamed of him. And all of them seem to have only seen Link for the very first time when you find him in the game. I really don't know why each Tingle after MM calls Link "fairy boy", but actually, like in Four Swords Adventures, Tingle just flat out CALLS you a fairy, like the other Tingles are convinced that because of Link's magical aura... or whatever... Link himself is an actual fairy, just like Tingle is :D.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
