Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland review at Nintendo World Report.

"Imagine an alternative universe to Hyrule, where the people you meet are odd, the things you see are odd, and the places you go are also odd. Along with all of these out of place sights is the oddest one of all, Tingle. A minor character introduced in the Legend of Zelda games, Tingle hoards rupees and dresses like a fairy. Tingle's origins are introduced in Rosy Rupeeland by a character with the name of “Uncle Rupee". Before this quest, it seems that Tingle was just an ordinary man with an unfulfilling, ordinary life. Much like Link though, once he receives his green uniform, he is bound to an adventure in which he must go along with whatever he is confronted with."
