Carlov inside the Gallery

The Nintendo Gallery is located on a tall cylindrical island near the Forest Haven in The Wind Waker. Once Link finds a way inside, he'll meet Carlov who will carve a figurine of any enemy or person you want. All that is required for this is to show him a color Pictograph of the subject to be sculpted. These Pictographs must show enough of the subject for it to be sculpted: usually the whole body, but in certain cases where this isn't possible (as with Carlov), as much of the person as possible within the Pictograph is necessary. Without an acceptable Pictograph, Carlov cannot create the figurine. Manny, who stands near the entrance to the gallery before Link gains entry, can be seen loitering near Carlov's counter or walking around in the gallery.

The Nintendo Gallery is notorious for being extremely difficult to complete, as most mini-bosses and bosses are one-time-only enemies, meaning that if Link defeats them before getting a Pictograph of it (or worse, takes several Pictographs but none of them are acceptable enough for figurine-making), he is essentially barred from obtaining that figurine for the remainder of the game.

It is notable that Lenzo the pictographer on Windfall Island will give Link pictographs of characters that are impossible to take pictures of (such as Jabun and Great Fairy) called Legendary Pictographs, so that it is possible to get their figurines as well. This does not count for characters in which the opportunity to take pictures of has been neglected.

The figurines take one day to make.[1] The figurines are made out of a special material called Rainbow Stone, an extremely rare type of rock found only around Forest Haven.[2]

Trivia

  • Behind Carlov, there are masks on the wall from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. From left to right: Bunny Hood, the All-Night Mask, the Goron Mask, and the Keaton Mask.
  • On the back counter behind Carlov there is a carving in progress resembling Kafei from Majora's Mask.
  • Although it is called the Nintendo Gallery, the gallery only contains figures from The Wind Waker.
  • A similar gallery, the Figurine Shop, can be found in The Minish Cap.
  • It is impossible to get a figurine of a Beamos.
  • In spite of popular belief, it is possible to take your own pictograph of Ganondorf and have it made into a figure. Just let him kill you once you have a good picture of him, save and continue, and it should have warped you into the main Phantom Ganon room of Ganon's Tower, which you can then exit to go visit the Nintendo Gallery with your pictograph of Ganondorf!
