Nintendo Gallery

The Nintendo Gallery is a location in where all the Figurines collected can be seen.

The Gallery
The Nintendo Gallery is located on a tall cylindrical island near the Forest Haven and can be opened by hitting a switch in the main island with a Seagull. The gallery is run by Carlov, who will carve a Figurine of every enemy and character in the game. To request a Figurine, Link must show Carlov a color Pictograph of the subject. Carlov will only accept Pictographs which display a significant amount of the subject's body and which show the subject facing the camera. After Carlov approves the Pictograph, he will complete the requested Figurine in a day. Link can use the Song of Passing to advance time and speed up this process. Certain characters in the game cannot be Pictographed, such as Ganondorf and the Fairy Queen, but Link can purchase Pictographs of them from Lenzo on Windfall Island. These are known as Legendary Pictographs.

Some characters and bosses appear one time only, making possible to leave the Nintendo Gallery uncompleted. If a Pictograph of certain subjects are not taken before they are defeated or they dissapear, completing the galley becomes impossible during the first playthrough, altough it can be completed during the Second Quest, where the Deluxe Picto Box is available from the beginning and all the Figurines from the previous playthrough are still in the gallery.

It is possible to complete the Nintendo Gallery on the first playthrough, as Carlov will accept the Pictograph of the Gohma rematch in Ganon's Tower. This is the only Pictograph missed before the Deluxe Picto Box can be obtained.

After the entance to the gallery is opened, Manny, who is seen outside of the gallery before it is opened, will appear next to the main desk, and sometimes inside the rooms looking at the Figurines. Figurines that cannot be obtained can be seen behind Carlov's desk, including Tetra's Ship, a Submarine, the Salvage Corp's boat, a scale model of the windmill and lighthouse on Windfall Island, and both forms of the Nayru statue on Southern Triangle Island. Around the desk, some Zelda-related easter eggs can also be found, such as the Bunny Hood, All-Night Mask, Goron Mask and Keaton Mask, one of Tijo's drums from, several bottles of Lon Lon Milk, and a Cucco. The Figurines are made out of Rainbow Stone, a type of rock found only around Forest Haven.

Completing the Nintendo Gallery in is facilitated. In the remake, the Picto Box can hold 12 Pictographs instead of 3, plus a golden Carlov icon will appear on a Pictograph that can be used to make a Figurine. Also, Carlov can now make up to 12 Figurines per day, as opposed to only one. As the Deluxe Picto Box is obtained much earlier, it is also possible to take Pictographs of characters and enemies sooner than previously; such as Gohma's, thus eliminating the need to take its Pictograph at Ganon's Tower. Additionally, Pictographs found in a Tingle Bottle can be saved in the Picto Box, making it possible to obtain Figurines of subjects that were previously missed.

The Knuckle Figurine is also needed to complete the gallery, unlike the original game. A reference to this fact was added to his Figurine description.

Trivia

 * It is impossible to get a figurine of a Beamos. If Link brings in a successful Pictograph of one, the resulting figurine will be an Armos.
 * To the right of Carlov, a figurine in the process of being carved resembles Saria.
 * It is possible to get Pictographs of Ganondorf and Zelda during the final battle and have them made into Figurines without the need of a Legendary Pictograph.
 * Carlov states that he only accepts Pictographs that are in full color. However, he will accept a Pictograph of Gohma, as well as the other bosses, if taken during the rematches against them in Ganon's Tower, even though the boss battles are reduced entirely to monochrome in these instances. This is the only way to obtain Gohma's Figurine during the First Quest in.
 * In, the Deluxe Pictobox can be obtained before leaving Windfall Island as the Rainbow Firefly is no longer required, making it possible to take a suitable Pictograph of Gohma in the Dragon Roost Cavern.
