Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland facts for kids

Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland (もぎたてチンクルのばら色ルッピーランド, Mogitate Chinkuru no Barairo Ruppīrando) is an exciting video game for the Nintendo DS system. It's an action role-playing game where you control a unique character named Tingle. This game was made by a company called Vanpool.

This game is special because it's the very first game where Tingle is the main character. He's a funny character from the famous The Legend of Zelda series. This means it's a "spin-off" game, which is a game that comes from a popular series but focuses on a different character or story.

Meet Tingle and His Adventure

Tingle is a strange but lovable character who loves Rupees, which are the money in the Legend of Zelda world. In this game, Tingle is a 35-year-old man who is told by a mysterious voice to jump into a spring. When he does, he turns into the Tingle we know, and his head becomes a big green balloon!

The Goal: Become Rich!

The main goal of the game is to collect as many Rupees as possible. Tingle needs to throw Rupees into a special pond called the "Rupee Pond." If he throws enough Rupees, the pond will grow bigger and bigger. The voice tells Tingle that if the pond becomes huge, he will find a magical place called "Rupeeland," where he can live happily ever after.

How to Play the Game

Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland is an adventure game. You explore different areas, solve puzzles, and fight enemies.

Exploring the World

The game uses both screens of the Nintendo DS. The top screen usually shows a map or important information. The bottom screen is where you control Tingle using the stylus. You can tap where you want Tingle to go.

Fighting and Bargaining

When Tingle meets enemies, he doesn't fight them directly like a hero. Instead, he bumps into them, and a cloud of dust appears. You can then tap the screen to make Tingle win the fight. But be careful! Fighting costs Rupees. If you run out of Rupees, it's game over!

You also need to bargain with other characters in the game. When you want to buy items or get information, you have to offer Rupees. The other character will tell you how much they want, and you can offer more or less. If you offer too little, they might get angry! It's all about making good deals to save your money.
