I saw an Outside Xbox video about casting Tingle in the Legend of Zelda movie and one actor I would actually love to see who has done similar things before would be David Dastmalchian. Like he did such a fun Polka Dot Man, and he was also in an intentionally weirdly tight suit. I think if they don’t cast him then I think Ken Jeong would be great, also bc in some art Tingle is clearly Asian, and Ken Jeong has done such a good weird character in Hangover and Community. I also think Ken Jeong deserves a kind of redemption for being made to do Drow blackface in community and just playing a weird Hylian with pointy ears.
I do think Tingle in some aspects tho is definitely problematic and will be more problematic to American audiences as an Asian man because he is a very like “I want to be feminine.” Like queer coded character and in the west it’s been all too normalized to feminize Asian men. I think if he was to play it very earnestly it could be different. He’s very much a like minstrel show coded character and that in of itself could also be problematic in a modern movie.
Ken Jeong but he plays Tingle like David Bowie played Jarreth in Labyrinth. Just “This character is so weird for a kids movie(?) and I’m obsessed.” OMG IF THEY DID HENSON PUPPETS TOO LIKE GET ILM ON THE PHONE

unironically, I first met tingle via Windwaker. Which was my first Zelda game. it holds a place in my cold, frosty heart. And I have loved that man since the start. I don't care that he's a middle aged man dressed like a Kokori. He's magical and whimsy.
like a lot of people consider him being childish and trying to do magic to be a flaw, but to me that is his best characteristics.
he's a silly little guy and he knows it. the only happy adult I've ever met. he knows how to heal his inner child and that's to be the inner child.
the tingle games aren't canon.
