In The Wind Waker, Tingle gifts Link with this funny little device. If players happen to own a Game Boy Advance and a Game Boy Advance-GameCube Link Cable, then a second player can take control of Tingle. Simply set up the Game Boy Advance, activate the Tingle Tuner and you're off. The second player will find a map of the current area on their screen, which includes, amongst other things, a marker indicating Link's current position. On the main screen, the first player will be able to see a green marker on the ground, indicating the position of Tingle.
The Tingle player now has a number of abilities. Firstly, by pressing A, they can cause Link to look towards the spot they're aiming at, secondly they can drop Tingle Bombs, for a small fee. The bombs are just one of a number of pay-per-use tools at Tingle's disposal, including a temporary magical effect, which gives Link a long-lasting version of the Hover Boots effect.
The Tingle Tuner can be used in each dungeon to find five Tingle Statues. Each statue of Tingle has a different pose and will appear near Tingle's Tower.
Knuckle can only be found while using the Tingle Tuner on Outset Island. Successful completion of the Knuckle sidequest upgrades the Tingle Tuner with the Hand-Me-Down Tingle Tuner and Knuckle appears on Tingle Island. The Hand-Me-Down Tuner is merely more options on the Tingle Tuner, which allow Link to purchase baits and other stock items from anyplace with it activated.
