The Pictograph Box is is a sepia-toned camera available in, 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 Link submits a pictograph of the Deku King, he will be rewarded with a Piece of Heart. The operator of the contest will also reward Link if he submits a pictograph of his son, Tingle.

Later in the game, the Fisherman of Great Bay Village requests that Link take a Pictograph of a Gerudo Pirate as part of the quest to find the Zora Eggs. As a reward, the Fisherman will give Link the Seahorse that he captured near Pinnacle Rock.

The Pictograph Box can hold only one picture at a time.

The Wind Waker
The Picto Box made a second appearance in. 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 box, and solving the crawlspace maze without falling into any rat traps. Wooden floorboards signify a trap, whereas Rupees show the right path. The Picto Box is found inside a treasure chest at the end of the maze. Once Link obtains the Picto Box, he can use it to take only black and white pictographs.

In, the storage has been increased to twelve images. The Picto Box has a new feature which enables Link to take self-photographs while making any of nine facial expressions, which can be changed by pressing the ZL button or moving the left analog stick. Players can send pictographs to Miiverse via Tingle Bottle. Receiving players can save the pictographs to their own Picto Box and use them for the Nintendo Gallery. The Deluxe Picto Box is not required to save color pictographs from Miiverse.

Deluxe Picto Box
The Deluxe Picto Box is an upgraded version of the original Picto Box, which allows Link to take pictures in full color. Lenzo adjusts Link's original Picto Box after he completes his Research Assistant quest. Also, a Forest Firefly is needed in order to upgrade the Picto Box. This is not required in.

The Deluxe Picto Box is necessary to complete the Nintendo Gallery since Carlov only accepts color Pictographs. It is also needed for a handful of other side-quests. The Second Quest starts with the Deluxe Picto Box from the beginning.
