Location and Uses

Tri Force Heroes

In Tri Force Heroes, the Camera is given to Link by the Photo Bro at the Miiverse Gallery.[3] The Camera is used to take screenshots of Levels of the Drablands by pressing the 'X' button; after the Level's completion, the most recent screenshot to be taken is saved to the Miiverse Gallery's photo album. Up to 99 photos can be saved to the photo album; the photos can be posted onto Miiverse from the Miiverse Gallery,[note 1] and unwanted photos can be deleted from the photo album. The Camera cannot be used outside of the Drablands or in Download Play.[4]

Any Status Reports visible when the photo is taken will not appear in saved screenshot, though other on-screen indicators including the Life Gauge, the Energy Gauge, and Communication Icons, will be retained. If the 3D slider is turned on when the photo is taken, then the screenshot will be viewable in 3D.

Breath of the Wild

In Breath of the Wild, the Camera appears as a Rune on the Sheikah Slate. It is an ancient piece of Sheikah technology.[5] It is obtained in the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab from Purah after bringing Blue Flame to the Ancient Furnace outside of the Lab. Link must place the Sheikah Slate into the Guidance Stone in the Lab to repair the Slate and restore missing files. Doing so will add the Camera Rune, the Album, and the Hyrule Compendium to the Sheikah Slate.[6] With the Hyrule Compendium, Link also receives the Sheikah Sensor +. After obtaining the Camera Rune, Purah asks Link to try it out by taking a Picture of her.[7]

The Camera Rune allows Link to take a Picture by pressing the 'A' button, which is saved to the Album.[8] Link can aim the Camera with either the right analog stick or the gyroscope. Link can zoom in and out by pressing up and down on the D-pad. Link can also quickly access the Album by pressing the minus button and take a Self-Portrait by pressing the 'X' button. While taking a Self-Portrait, Link can position himself in eleven poses by using combinations of the left analog stick (up, down, left and right), the ZL button (ZL + up and ZL + down) and different types of weapons (one handed, one handed + shield, two handed, spear and bow).

If Link takes a Picture of certain creatures, monsters, Materials, Treasure Chests, Ore Deposits, or pieces of equipment, it will be logged in the Hyrule Compendium.[9] After being logged, Link can view information about the subject in the Compendium or track it with the Sheikah Sensor +.

The Camera's Album comes with twelve Old Landscape Photos that were taken by Princess Zelda 100 years ago.[10] After obtaining the Camera Rune and speaking to Impa, she will instruct Link to go to each location in all of Zelda's Pictures to recover his Memories.[11] By visiting these locations, Link will experience a flashback of a Memory with Zelda where the Picture was taken.
