His favorite proverb, according to the Nintendo Gallery, is: "One may as well hang for a stolen sheep as for a stolen lamb." He was the one who found David Jr. and got him to come spin the top of Tingle Tower with him. The only time he is really at peace and acting himself is when he is tending the Tingle Island flower garden. However, since Tingle keeps Ankle working constantly spinning the head of Tingle Tower, it doesn't seem like Ankle ever gets a chance to be himself, since he never even sees the tiny garden. Knuckle is in it most of the time anyway.

 Birthplace: Unknown
 Favorite Proverb: "One may as well hang for
 a stolen sheep as for a stolen lamb."

 Since being taught how to decipher maps
 by his older brother Tingle, Ankle has been
 supporting his good-for-nothing twin
 brother Knuckle.

 The only time he feels he can truly be
 himself is when he's tending to the
 Tingle Island flower garden.

[edit] The Minish Cap

Ankle asking about his twin brother: 

 Have you seen Knuckle?

 He's my twin brother, and he's dressed
 all in blue. I don't know where he is!

[edit] Notes

[edit] General notes

On the contrary to the English translation the others are all variations on the name Tingle. Secondly the Spanish name was changed for the Minish Cap into Angle!

[edit] Mingle/Dingle Mix up

In the Italian version of the Minish Cap it turns out to be that there is a rather confusing mix up between Ankle and Knuckle. If we read the description of the Figurine it reads: 

 Tingle (in verde) e i suoi fratelli,
 i gemelli Mingle (viola) e Dingle (blu).[...]

So this makes Knuckle (the blue guy) Dingle. If we now compare this to Ankle's Italian Quote: 

 Hai visto Mingle?
 È mio fratello gemello!
 Indossa una tunica blu.
 Dove si sarà cacciato?

Here Mingle is the blue guy! Which means that the Italian translator is not even capable of keeping Ankle & Knuckle apart.
