Zelda Tears of the Kingdom NPCs either fear Tingle or want to fight him
A Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player has made a surprising discovery about the residents of Hyrule, more specifically, how they feel about series regular Tingle.

According to the post's comments, there may be a good reason for this, as the first place you meet Tingle in Wind Waker is in prison - so maybe they have a right to be
