Tingle is the most unlikely of heroes. Infact most gamers might not even know who he is, yet anyone familiar to the Legend Of Zelda series will recall him from Majoras Mask which was originally released on the N64. To the point though.......this is a spin off of Zelda fame and hardcore Zelda fans will find only a brief reminisence of what they truly seek.
You take the role of Tingle, a nobody basically who learns of the famed Rupeeland a place of paradise and more importantly......Rupees. From the off you must collect as many Rupees as you can and throw them into the pool close to Tingles house. More Rupees = more places to visit and explore. The pool is nothing less than a tower that keeps growing, similar to the Jack and Beanstalk story.
What could have been an utterly dull title is infact quite suprising in approach and something, maybe its the bizzare characters and the slightly disturbing soundtrack ( again a nod towards Majoras Mask), just keeps pulling you back and like Tingle the urge to find Rupees does become addictive.

I do not want to give too much away, as many suprises and fresh approaches to a tried and tested, albeit succesful, game genre are in the wait for those who purchase this title I will say this: if you actually really like the Tingle character and do have an insatiable desire for Rupees then this game will fit nicely into your collection. Also as I mentioned earlier it has a certain hook to it that does draw you back. However for those expecting this title to stand up against Link and the Zelda series please just hang on for the Phantom Hour Glass as you might not find the RUPEELAND you have heard about.
