The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has finally arrived, and franchise fans are ecstatic to continue their adventure as Link. The new title picks up after Breath of the Wild and offers even more locations, abilities, and gameplay features within an unfamiliar Hyrule.
This adds a particular air of excitement to the game’s launch, and players are eager to share their progress. Luckily, you can accomplish this with the returning camera mode. Once activated after the Camera Work in the Depths quest, you can take photos and selfies throughout the kingdom.
With that being said, how do you take pictures in Tears of the Kingdom? Not to be confused with screenshots, pictures are taken with the in-game camera mode. Here’s how to use it.
