Features and Overview

The Nintendo Gallery is located inside a tall, cylindrical island near theForest Haven. Its hatch door can be opened by hitting aSwitch in a tiny alcove on the main island with aSeagull controlled viaHyoi Pear. The Gallery is run byCarlov, who will carve a Figurine of nearly every Enemy and Character in the game. After the entrance to the Nintendo Gallery is opened,Manny, who is seen outside of the Gallery before it is opened, will appear next to the main desk, and sometimes inside the rooms looking at the Figurines. To request a Figurine,Link must show him a colorPictograph of the subject. Carlov will only accept Pictographs which display a significant amount of the subject's body and which show the subject facing thePicto Box. After Carlov approves the Pictograph, he will complete the requested Figurine in a day. Link can use the "Song of Passing" to advance time and speed up this process. Certain characters, such as theFairy Queen, cannot be Pictographed, so Link can purchaseLegendary Pictographs of them fromLenzo onWindfall Island.

Some Characters and Bosses are encountered only one time, making it possible to leave the Nintendo Galleryincomplete. However, it can be completed during aSecond Quest, where theDeluxe Picto Box is available from the beginning and all the Figurines from the previous playthrough are carried over. It is possible to complete the Nintendo Gallery on the first playthrough, as Carlov will accept the Pictograph of theGohma rematch inGanon's Castle. This is the only Pictograph missed before the Deluxe Picto Box can be obtained.

InThe Wind Waker HD, the Picto Box can hold 12 Pictographs instead of three, plus a golden Carlov icon will appear on a Pictograph that can be used to make a Figurine. Also, Carlov can now make up to 12 Figurines per day, as opposed to only one. As the Deluxe Picto Box is obtained much earlier, it is also possible to take Pictographs of characters and enemies sooner than previously; such as Gohma's, thus eliminating the need to take its Pictograph at Ganon's Castle. Additionally, Pictographs found in aTingle Bottle can be saved into the Picto Box, making it possible to obtain Figurines of subjects that were previously missed. TheKnuckle Figurine is also needed to complete the Gallery, unlike the original game.[1]

Rooms

The Figurines of the Nintendo Gallery are placed in seven themed rooms located in a ring around the center of the gallery. Going clockwise from Carlov's counter, these rooms are:

Around the door to each room is a wallpaper that reflects the room's theme. For example, theDungeon Room wallpaper is based on the first room inDragon Roost Cavern. The same wallpaper design lines the walls inside each room.

In each room, a note is pinned on the wall to the left of the door walking in. It gives instructions on how to view figurines.

Trivia

  • Carlov sculpts his Figurines out of a uniquely-colored material called "rainbow stone", which is not encountered anywhere else.[2]
  • The Figurines on display in the Nintendo Gallery are seen with full shading, in contrast to the cel-shaded graphics in the rest ofThe Wind Waker. InThe Wind Waker HD, the Figurines are given a shiny surface making them resemble smooth clay models. The same technique is used forMonster Sculptures inTears of the Kingdom.
  • Several of the available Figurines would be implausible as actual sculptures, as they contain floating or translucent elements. Among these is theQueen of the Fairies Figurine, which gradually changes color.
  • It is impossible to get a Figurine of aBeamos. If Link brings in a successful Pictograph of one, the resulting Figurine will be anArmos.
  • It is possible to get Pictographs of Ganondorf and Princess Zelda during the final battle and have them made into Figurines without the need of a Legendary Pictograph.
  • Carlov states that he only accepts Pictographs that are in full color. However, he will accept a Pictograph of any of theBosses if taken during the rematches against them inGanon's Castle, even though the Boss battles are reduced entirely to monochrome in these instances. This is the only way to obtainGohma's Figurine during the First Quest inThe Wind Waker.
  • SeveralThe Legend of Zelda series Easter eggs can be found on and behind Carlov's desk. These include theBunny Hood,All-Night Mask,Goron Mask,Keaton Mask, one ofTijo's drums, severalBottles ofMilk, and aCucco. Some unobtainable Figurines can also be seen, such asTetra's Ship, aSubmarine, theSalvage Corp.'s boat, a scale model of the windmill and lighthouse onWindfall Island, and both forms of theNayru statue onSouthern Triangle Island.

Nomenclature

In the Japanese version, the Gallery is namedニテン堂 (Nitendō).[3] It may be a pun with似ているNiteiru (looking like), the Figurine's noticeable accuracy. Several localizations translate it as the "Minitendo Gallery" to recreate the similarity between the Gallery's name and Nintendo.
