Biography

The Pictographer, Lenzo

Birthplace: Unknown
Personality: Hard to grasp

Lenzo is a famed pictographer known to all. His mysterious personality is quite popular with the ladies in town.

In his earlier days, Lenzo sailed throughout the Great Sea, taking pictures of mystical beings and strange sights, but he has now settled into a Studio on Windfall Island.^[5]^[6] Lenzo has been studying Pictographs and everything about them ever since he was young.^[7] When Link first meets him, Lenzo is reluctant to trust him due to the fact that one of his Picto Boxes was stolen from him, so prompts the young hero to leave.^[8] However, when Link shows him the Picto Box he found, the pictograph master urges him to look around his gallery upstairs,^[9] and even asks him to become his Research Assistant to develop a box with "incredible pictography capabilities."^[10]

After Link helps him with his research material, Lenzo tells him that he has been researching taking pictographs in color and determines that a Forest Firefly from the Forest Haven is needed for it to work.^[11] If Link brings him a Forest Firefly, Lenzo will upgrade his current Picto Box into the Deluxe Picto Box which can take pictures in color.^[12]^[13] In The Wind Waker HD, the Forest Firefly is not required, as Lenzo gives Link the Deluxe Picto Box directly after completing all the research tasks.^[14]

Lenzo also sells Legendary Pictographs which Link can buy for 50 Rupees per photo in The Wind Waker, or for 150 Rupees in The Wind Waker HD.^[15]^[16]^[17] Minenco, the woman who has a keen interest in pictography, can be often found discussing the topic with Lenzo.

Nomenclature

Lenzo's Japanese name, Genzō, is a pun on the Japanese word for film developing, 現像 (Genzō). Likewise, his English name is likely a reference to a camera lens.

Young sir, I hesitate to ask, but... Could you perchance become my pictograph assistant? — Lenzo (The Wind Waker HD)
↑ My assistant, LinkAppears in-game as the player's chosen name.! Allow me a brief query. Do you perchance know about pictographs with color? I have researched this concept for many years, and at long last I understand it! A stronger light is needed to imbue color in the pictograph. No normal light will do. In fact, normal light must be overcome! Color pictography requires a light of the very brightest intensity! Now, I have heard tales of a mystical creature in a place called the Forest Haven. It is said to be the tiniest of creatures, one that unleashes an otherworldly light... As an aid to me and my research, could you possibly use an empty bottle to capture one of the creatures of legend? — Lenzo (The Wind Waker)
↑ Is... Is that...? ...Why, I feared the secret light had been extinguished forever! Is that truly one of the long-fabled Forest Fireflies?! Oh, glory! My fine assistant, LinkAppears in-game as the player's chosen name.... For ages, it has been said that the Forest Fireflies possess a mystical power. For your efforts, I shall place this one inside your box! Come on now, hand me your Picto Box, if only for a moment... — Lenzo (The Wind Waker)
↑ Hmph! Until now you could only take black-and-white pictographs, but now you can take color pictographs, allowing you to show the world as it was meant to be seen! Now! Go out there are snap pictographs. Snap them in color for me, for all the years I spent unable to do so! Fulfill my life's ambition! Go to it, Link! — Lenzo (The Wind Waker HD)
↑ Now then, my young sir... You have completed all of the tasks I set you to. My doubts about you have all been cleared up! I shall hereby be proud to call you my assistant, LinkAppears in-game as the player's chosen name.! And... No assistant of mine will be seen going around taking pictographs in monochrome! Not in a million years! So here. Allow me to present you with this Picto Box. — Lenzo (The Wind Waker HD)
↑ A Legendary Pictograph is an image of a being or essence that has passed beyond the knowledge of this world. They're quite incredible, really. These are images that one comes across only in the rarest of circumstances, but as I am the leading pictographer in the land, I have managed to gather many of them. — Lenzo (The Wind Waker HD)
↑ This is, after all, a very precious thing. I cannot just give it away for free, can I? What do you say, young sir? Will you pay 50 Rupees for it? — Lenzo (The Wind Waker)
