David Jr. first appeared in "[[The Wind Waker]]" at the top of [[Tingle Island]]. There he was enslaved by [[Tingle]] and forced to work endlessly with Tingle's twin younger brothers, Ankle and Knuckle. The curious thing about David Jr. is that he is not related to Tingle, despite the uncanny resemblance. Originally he was from [[Windfall Island]] and the son of the traveler that wrote the Ghostship's charts (presumably David Sr.).

The Minish Cap

David Jr. appears in The Minish Cap at Lake Hylia, by the water south of Stockwell's House. When spoken to, David Jr. offers to Fuse Kinstone Pieces with Link after recognizing him as "Mr. Fairy."[6] When Link successfully Fuses Kinstone Pieces with him,[7] the southeastern Tree in the group of four Trees in North Hyrule Field will open, revealing a chamber with a Switch connected to a Torch and a Chest with 200 Mysterious Shells.
