Tingle's younger brother, Knuckle's twin. Operates the rotating tower on Tingle Island. Wears pink.

Description

Overall

Ankle is the younger brother of Tingle, and Knuckle's twin. He wears a strange Kokiri-like outfit, same as Tingle's, except it is a light pink instead of green. He was taught to decipher maps by Tingle, but he really supports his twin Knuckle.

the Wind Waker

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.

Biography

Ankle has learned how to decipher maps from Tingle, although he doesn't seem to make any use of it right now. This guy loves the diamond shaped flower garden near the tower, since he feels at his best while take care of it. Being Tingle's younger brother this guy cannot be older than 35, also his birthplace as well as his parents are unknown.

the Minish Cap

In this game Ankle's only purpose is exchanging some Kinstones with you, just like Tingle he does this in order to meet fairies or so he says.
