| ===Knuckle=== | | ==Trivia== |
| {{sectstub|TWW}} | | * Four islands in {{BotW}} and {{TotK}} ({{Term|BotW|Tingel Island|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Ankel Island|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Knuckel Island|link}}, and {{Term|BotW|Davdi Island|link}}) bear the names of the {{Term|Series|Tingle Siblings?}}, though each island has the last two letters of the name inverted. |
| In ''The Wind Waker'', Knuckle originally left Tingle Island because he got angry at Tingle for writing "For Tingle Only" on a sign next to Tingle Tower, which Knuckle built when he was ten years old.<ref>{{Cite|Don't play dumb! Why'd you doodle on Tingle Tower? I built that thing!|Knuckle|TWW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|What, that "For Tingle Only" sign I wrote? Sorry! Please forgive me!|Tingle|TWW}}</ref> He can only be found by using the [[Tingle Tuner]]; Link can find him by going to [[Outset Island]] and stepping into the boats on the beach. Knuckle will appear on the Game Boy Advance screen and get into an argument with Tingle, which ends with him commanding Link to visit various places on the island.<ref>{{Cite|Hmmph! Well, I might consider it if the fairy will do as I ask...[...]Just don't open any doors before you finish doing what I tell you! You'll fail if you do!|Knuckle|TWW}}</ref> After Link completes this, Knuckle gets annoyed and gives Link the Hand-me Down Tingle Tuner before returning to [[Tingle Island]].<ref>{{Cite|Uggghhh...! Enough! Enough! I've lost the contest on this island! What can I do? Oh! I'll give you the Hand-Me-Down Tuner! Ugh. I'm going back home.|Knuckle|TWW}}</ref> From then on, he stands guard rather than helping Ankle and David Jr. spin the top of the tower.<ref>{{Cite|That guy's younger brother down below... That blue guy... He doesn't help out at all! He just hangs out down there, standing guard and making sure no one writes any graffiti on Tingle Tower! That's all! No manual labor whatsoever!|David Jr.|TWW}}</ref> Unlike Tingle, he wears blue and the mole on his face is on the right side rather than the left. In addition, the rosy patches on his cheeks aren't filled in.
| |
| | |
| In {{TWWHD}}, he appears on Tingle Island when all five of the [[Tingle Statue]]s have been collected. Ankle gives Link Rupees for finding the statues instead, since Knuckle isn't present until they have been collected. Additionally, his [[Figurines in The Wind Waker|figurine]] is required in order to complete the [[Nintendo Gallery]], unlike in the original version of the game. A reference to this fact was added to the description of Knuckle's figurine.

| In ''The Minish Cap'', Knuckle appears in [[Trilby Highlands]]. Like the other brothers, he has some Kinstone Pieces to fuse with Link.<ref>{{Cite|Hey, Mr. Fairy! I've been holding on to this, just like my brother Tingle asked! And I have Kinstone pieces! Want to try and fuse with me?|Knuckle|TMC}}</ref> When Link successfully fuses Kinstones with him,<ref>{{Cite|Let's fuse Kinstones! I hope they fit...|TMC}}</ref> the southwesternmost tree in the group of four trees in North Hyrule Field will open with a chamber containing a room with a switch connected to a Torch and a Chest with a Kinstone Piece. After fusing Kinstones, he says that he doesn't understand why David Jr. dresses like him and his brothers.<ref>{{Cite|All of us brothers look alike, but the one in white isn't really our brother. What I can't figure out is why he tries to dress up like us, though...|Knuckle|TMC}}</ref>

| ===David Jr.===
| |
| [[File:MCDavidJr..gif]]
| |
| In ''The Wind Waker'', David Jr. stays at the top of Tingle Tower, where he works with Ankle. Despite this, he is not actually related to the other brothers.<ref>{{Cite|This guy here and I are complete and utter strangers! I kid you not!|David Jr.|TWW}}</ref> According to him, he was originally a sailor who sailed the sea aimlessly, and ended up on Tingle Island after being shipwrecked by a storm one night.<ref>{{Cite|Once upon a time, I was a sailor. One night, as I was floating aimlessly across the sea as I usually did... That night... Yes, I remember it vividly. There was a fierce and terrible storm! I was swallowed up by a giant twister, and my boat was spun round and round! ...That is the last thing I remember.|David Jr.|TWW}}</ref> However, according to his figurine and the Prima Game Guide, he was in search of the [[Ghost Ship (The Wind Waker)|Ghost Ship]]'s treasure which his father (presumably David Sr.) had also found, and ended up at Tingle Island after feeling seasick.<ref>{{Cite book|quote=David Jr. embarked on a quest to recover the Ghost Ship's treasure, just as his father did before him. One bout of sea sickness led him in a daze to Tingle Island, and he's regretted it since.|book=The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|publisher=Prima Games|page=23}}</ref> He awoke wearing his current uniform, which he hates, and was forced to work for Tingle.<ref>{{Cite|When I awoke, I was dressed like this! And what do you think I was doing? But I guess telling this story to you won't do me any good... It sure won't get that crazy guy in green off my back!|David Jr.|TWW}}</ref> He looks very similar to Tingle, except he wears white, and he does not have rosy patches on his cheeks.

| | |
| In ''The Minish Cap'', David Jr. appears in [[Lake Hylia]] by the water south of [[Stockwell]]'s vacation home. He is not enslaved and actually appeared to enjoy the company of his "brothers." When spoken to, David Jr. offers to fuse Kinstones with Link after recognizing him as "Mr. Fairy."<ref>{{Cite|Are you Mr. Fairy? Oh, yeah. Look at those clothes. You've got to be him! I received some Kinstone pieces from Tingle. He said I should try and fuse them with you, Mr. Fairy! So what do you think? Should we try to fuse?|David Jr.|TMC}}</ref> When Link successfully fuses Kinstones with him,<ref>{{Cite|Let's fuse Kinstones! I hope they fit...|TMC}}</ref> the southeasternmost tree in the group of four trees in North Hyrule Field will open with a chamber containing a room with a switch connected to a Torch and a Chest with 200 [[Mysterious Shell]]s. David Jr. will also express surprise that they managed to fuse Kinstones, claiming to not expect it "to work."<ref>{{Cite|Wow. I didn't actually think that would work...|Ankle|TMC}}</ref> He also aids Link by informing him how many more Kinstone Fusions he has left to complete.<ref>{{Cite|So. Fused a lot of Kinstones already? Let's see here... Ooo, no... Man! You've got XX Kinstones left? Goodness, man! Get to it! Time's a-wastin'!!!|David Jr.|TMC}}</ref> If spoken to afterwards, David Jr. will acknowledge that he is not related to Tingle or his brothers, and questions why he helps them.<ref>{{Cite|I'm not even related to that Tingle! So...why am I helping him so much?|David Jr.|TMC}}</ref>
