#6 Tingle’s Balloon Fight DS
While The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is almost universally praised as one of the best entries in a long series of beloved games, there’s a bit of a fly in the ointment: Tingle, the 35-year-old weirdo who dresses up like the fairies of the forest and gives Link a bunch of annoying fetch-quests.
While many American gamers completely despise Tingle, he’s a huge star in Japan and has enough of a cult following for Nintendo to give him his own line of spin-off games, including Tingle’s Balloon Fight DS and Irozuki Tincle no Koi no Balloon Trip, the sequel to another Tingle-centric game, Freshly-Picked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland. The latter pair did see a European release but have stayed away from American shores, largely due to the large number of vocal Tingle haters found in the U.S.
Tingle’s Balloon Fight DS is a fairly straightforward update and reskin of the classic NES title Balloon Fight: Tingle grabs a pair of balloons, floats around the level, and tries to pop his enemies’ balloons.
Then you fly him down to the bottom of the screen and let the giant fish eat him because Tingle is awful.
