One of these is the Camera. Robbie is soon going to present you with a quest called “Camera Work in the Depths”. You will have to enter the underground depths and search for Robbie. Once you have found him there, he is going to to give you the Camera and explain how to use it. For this, you’re going to have to take a picture of a nearby statue.

Then, snap the picture and you will be given the option of whether to save it to your album or to delete it. And that’s how you take pictures in Zelda Tears of The Kingdom.
