A Tingle of Freedom

As much as the game tries to railroad you up to the third dungeon, it just can't keep you away from everything. Since setting sail for Windfall from Greatfish Isle I've picked up the wallet upgrade, freed Tingle, and found the Picto Box. I've got one of the fireflies to upgrade the Picto Box, as well. Now I need only bring it around the shop keeper and I'm set on that front.

As per Tingle, it's definitely worth freeing him. In fact, since you need his sea chart reading skills later on, it's down right necessary. That said, I rather like the character of Tingle. He's strangely an essence of Japan in his dress, style, and backstory. He's like a magical boy from a magical boy anime (if such a thing exists), but without the actual magic.

Plus, he really does have a picture of a cobra stitched on the back of his outfit - just as the Hyrule Historia claims. If you watch the scene that follows on freeing him, you can catch it thanks to the angle. Check out video proof here.
