Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland was released only in Japan and Europe, never making it to the USA due to lackluster sales. Surprisingly, the game was well-received among those who did play and review the game. You play as Tingle, a 35-year-old (and single) man lost in the world. Guided by the mysterious figure Uncle Rupee, Tingle fills a mystical spring with money and gain access to the wonderful Rupeeland, a paradise where nobody has to work. Along the way, hire body guards to protect Tingle – but from what? All may not be as it seems in Tingle’s quest for monetary gain, and Rupeeland just might not be so rosy after all...
i think they shoulda used this for tp ganon: http://www.flickr.com/photos/historyofhyrule/6900…
but all aside hes awesome either way
Interesting seeing human Ganondorf art for the oracles games.
Judging by Skyward Sword's artwork there was going to be more members of Shiekah tribe besides Impa and more Gorons as well.
Nah I think that was beta Fi
I was just looking and link has blonde hair in all the orginal pictures for the first game.
Yeah, and it also looks like he was originally right-handed, and green eyed, too.
I've gotta say it, Link looks like he is about to throw the Triforce off a cliff in the picture.
I find the Twilight Princess concept art amazingly surreal and imaginative. Look at all those designs for Midna!
