In Wind Waker, I seem to recall Tingle looking at Link and saying that he's wearing a green tunic, just like the fairy people of yore. Something like that anyway. That's what brought about my suspicion that Tingle could travel through time, or that he reincarnates with every few generations, except he retains his memory from previous lifetimes. I don't know. Tingle is a weird character, no doubt.
As for hating him, he doesn't really bother me except that he charges way too much money to translate maps, or hell, even to read the letters that he sends you. And instead of charging you 400 rupees, he charges a weird number like 398. Is he trying to use the marketing technique of "making something seem cheaper than it really is by knocking off a cent or two"? He should probably go into the marketing trade rather than wasting his time with phony magic tricks.
