The Wind Waker

The Telescope is Aryll's most treasured possession.[5][6] Despite this, she lends it to her brother Link at the beginning of the game as a birthday present. Although she says she will let him borrow it for one day only, he ends up keeping it for the remainder of the game after she gets kidnapped.

With the Telescope, Link notices Quill looking up at the sky at the Helmaroc King kidnapping Tetra, and it is also the only time the Telescope is needed to advance the story of the game.[7][8] The Telescope is also useful to locate elements that are too far from Link's first glance, such as the Seagulls surrounding a Big Octo, or a Submarine.

Telescopes are also used by many other Characters and Enemies in The Wind Waker. These include Sea Bokoblins, Zuko, the Old Man Ho Ho, and Kamo. The Old Man Ho Ho also uses a Kaleidoscope in one instance.[9]

Phantom Hourglass

The Kaleidoscope is the second item in the Phantom Hourglass trading sequence. When Link takes the Hero's New Clothes to Nyeve on board the Prince of Red Lions Ship in the Northwestern Sea, he will be given the Kaleidoscope, which he mistakes for a Telescope at first.[10] The Kaleidoscope needs to be taken to the Ho Ho Tribe to receive the Guard Notebook.

Breath of the Wild

There is a Telescope emerging from the top of the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. There is another Telescope known as Purah's Telescope, which can be found at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab.

Tears of the Kingdom

The Telescope at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab returns in Tears of the Kingdom. Purah's Telescope returns as well, though it has been moved to the Research Lab at Lookout Landing.
