Biography

The Wind Waker

Template:Figurine Carlov runs the Nintendo Gallery near the Forest Haven in The Wind Waker. If Link has obtained the Deluxe Picto Box, he may then take color Pictographs which he may present to Carlov for him to make a Figurine from the Pictograph. For Carlov to make a Figurine from a Pictograph, it must meet certain requisites:

• The subject is in the center of the Pictograph
• The entire body of the subject is taken
• The subject is facing Link when the Pictograph is taken

If these requirements are met, Carlov will ask Link to wait an entire day, in which that time he will spend making a Figurine out of the subject in the Pictograph.

Carlov will even carve a Figurine of himself if a Pictograph is taken of him, although he does not quite recognize his own face; however, he does believe the person in the Pictograph is exceptionally handsome.^{[citation needed]} According to Carlov's Figurine, it is rumored that the reason he does not let anyone watch him carve is because he does so in his underwear.^{[citation needed]}

In The Wind Waker HD, he will work on a maximum of 12 Figurines at once as opposed to the previous limit of a single Figurine at a time. The Picto Box is also equipped with a new feature that will place a golden Carlov icon on Pictographs that meet Carlov's requirements to be turned into a Figurine. Thus Link does not have to return to the Nintendo Gallery to receive Carlov's approval.

Once the Nintendo Gallery is completed, Carlov leaves to find inspiration elsewhere, leaving Link as the Gallery's new master.

The Minish Cap

Template:Figurine Carlov operates the Figurine Gallery in The Minish Cap, and has a younger brother named Borlov. He rewards Link with the Carlov Medal, a golden medal of his own face, for collecting all 136 Figurines.
