Pictograph
A Pictograph is a sort of photograph, taken using a Picto Box. Depending on which Picto Box you have (normal or deluxe, depending on the game), it's possible to get black & white or color pictographs (respectively).
Legendary Pictograph
A Legendary Pictograph is a special Pictograph featured in The Wind Waker, usually of a rare subject. These subjects, with one exception, do not have any place in the game wherein a Pictograph can be taken of them. So Link must purchase Pictographs of these characters from Lenzo. The Pictograph that is offered changes when the phase of the Moon changes. The Pictograph of Ganondorf can also be obtained by taking it during the final boss fight, then saving the game and quiting.
Majora's Mask
The Pictograph Box is is a black-and-white camera available in Majora's Mask, which Link obtains from the Swamp Tourist Center after rescuing Koume from the Woods of Mystery. The Swamp Tourist Center runs a Pictograph Contest during the first day, and if you submit a pictograph of the Deku King, you will be rewarded with a Piece of Heart. The operator of the contest will also reward you if you submit a pictograph of his son, Tingle.
Later in the game, the Fisherman of Great Bay Village requests that you take a Pictograph of a Gerudo Pirate as part of the quest to find the Zora Eggs. As a reward, the Fisherman will give you the Seahorse that he captured near Pinnacle Rock.
The Pictograph Box can hold only one picture at a time.
The Wind Waker
Picto Box
The Picto Box made a second appearance in The Wind Waker. It allows Link to take and store three pictographs at a time. It is found in Tingle's jail cell on Windfall Island, and is obtained by entering Tingle's cell, moving the large rock, and solving the crawlspace maze without falling into any rat traps. Wooden floorboards signify a trap, whereas Rupees show you you're on the right track. Open the chest at the end to get the Picto Box. Once you have the Picto Box, you can use it to take black & white Pictographs.
Deluxe Picto Box
The Deluxe Picto Box is an upgraded variant of the original Picto Box, which allows the user to take pictures in full color. Lenzo adjusts Link's original Picto Box after he completes the quest which Lenzo sets before him.
Items needed to create the Deluxe Picto Box:
- Picto Box
- Forest Firefly, which can be captured in Forest Haven with an Empty Bottle.
On top of this, three other special Pictographs must be taken using the original Picto Box. All photos are taken on Windfall Island. You will need: A Pictograph of a man delivering a love letter (you'll need to stake out at the mailbox for this one), a Pictograph of the man in the cafe, and a final Pictograph of the woman in orange looking at another man who walks across town.
Give all of this to Lenzo and he will create a Deluxe Picto Box.
Once you have the Deluxe Picto Box, you can use it to take full color Pictographs. If they're good enough, you can take them to the Nintendo Gallery at Forest Haven and get them made into sculptures.
Central to a hidden location near the Forest Haven in the The Wind Waker, the Picto Box becomes fundamental in a sub-quest which involves taking photos of characters and having models made from the results. (See Nintendo Gallery) It is also needed for a handful of other side-quests, including taking a color picture of of the full moon. At the beginning of the Second Quest, you start with the Deluxe Picto Box. Most people attempt the Nintendo Gallery at this stage.
