Key Characters

Overview

Recovered Memories are special events which can be triggered in Breath of the Wild. There are 18 in total, and each contains a scene from 100 years prior to the events of the game. They often contain key characters from the game, including Link, Zelda, and the four Champions, among others.

How to Unlock

Link must first visit Hateno Village in order to repair the Camera function of the Sheikah Slate. This restores 12 pictures which were taken on the slate; each containing a location of a memory to be found. These images show locations from all over Hyrule, and if Link visits these locations, he will have a flashback of a moment in time; a memory. Along with the 12 picture memories, six additional memories can be found at certain points in the game. These include memories Link has of the four Champions, the Master Sword, and of his defeat in battle.
