Lenzo's Pictograph Assistant, also known as Lenzo's Research Assistant, is a Side Quest from The Wind Waker.

Overview

After helping Tingle escape from the Town Jail, Link can crawl through the hole in the back of the Jail Cell. One of the paths leads to a treasure chest that contains the Picto Box. After acquiring the Picto Box, he can show it to Lenzo and this will give Link access to Lenzo's Pictograph Gallery.

After talking with Lenzo, he will ask Link if he will become his Pictograph Assistant.[1][2][3] Lenzo will give Link various commands and will ask that he promptly complete them.[4] Lenzo will then tell Link that he has three commands for him to complete.[5]

A Love Letter

The first command is to find somebody in Windfall Island who despite constant rejection, continues to try to write love letters.[6][7] Lenzo requires physical evidence, so Link will need to use the Pictograph to take a photograph of this hopeless romantic in action.[8][9]

Lenzo is referring to Garrickson. During the daytime he starts his journey right outside of Lenzo's House. He will walk around town, down to the Mailbox where he will drop a letter off.[10] Link will need to take a Pictograph of Garrickson, while he is dropping the letter in the mail.

After snapping the picture, Lenzo will give a positive remark on the photograph, although he does understand Garrickson's dilemma, as he reminds him of himself when he was younger.[11][12][13]

Timid and Cowardly Resident

The second command is to find the most timid and cowardly resident. Lenzo wants to flog his spirit and lend him some backbone. He will give Link a hint that the person flinches and ajumps at even the slightest of surprises. Lenzo wants Link to capture pure fear in the individual's face.[14][15]
