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 of the subject. For Carlov to make a Figurine from a Pictograph, it must meet certain requirements:

  • 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 until the following day, in which that time he will spend making a Figurine out of the subject in the Pictograph.[3]

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.[4] He is similarly enamored when shown a Pictograph of Manny, a Figurine-lover who frequents the gallery.[5] 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,[6] though he claims the reason is simply to protect the trade secret.[7]

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.[8]

Carlov operates the Figurine Gallery in Hyrule Town in The Minish Cap, and has a younger brother named Borlov.[2] The Gallery becomes accessible after Link obtains the White Sword. Carlov is a collector of Mysterious Shells, and will trade Figurines for them.[9] Once Link collects all 136 Figurines, Carlov rewards him with the Carlov Medal, a golden medal of his own face.[10]
