Congratulations to our favorite gravekeeper, the infamous leader of the Heart-Pounding Gravedigging Tour, Dampé, who has now officially surpassed Tingle in the number of appearances in a Zelda game! Not counting any cameos in the form of wanted posters, figurines, dolls or costumes in the later Zelda games or his appearances in any spin-off games, Tingle has "only" starred in a total of five Zelda titles:
- Majora's Mask
- Oracle of Ages
- The Wind Waker
- Four Swords Adventures
- The Minish Cap
Dampé, however, now officially appears in six games of the Zelda series:
- Ocarina of Time
- Majora's Mask
- Four Swords Adventures
- The Minish Cap
- A Link Between Worlds
- Link's Awakening
Amazing! He's now on the same level as Beedle and Impa, who have both appeared in a total of six Zelda games as well. The Wind Waker, The Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild are games with Beedle, while Ocarina of Time, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, Skyward Sword, A Link Between Worlds and Breath of the Wild all feature Impa. The latter was also mentioned in both the NES Classics and therefore technically plays a role in eight different Zelda games, but she never actually appears in those games in person.
Well, but Dampé is certainly the new rising star, who will have a fierce competition with Beedle from now on, who will most likely score a seventh appearance in the Breath of the Wild sequel. Both should certainly become playable characters in the next Hyrule Warriors, however!
