Unlocking Link's lost past in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild relies heavily on completing the Captured Memories main quest. Given by Impa in Kakariko Village, this journey requires players to cross the vast continent of Hyrule using only twelve photographs stored in the Sheikah Slate as visual clues. Following updates on daily gaming news can help open-world adventure fans uncover essential secrets and navigation tricks for mastering Nintendo's iconic titles.
Central Hyrule and Castle Memory Locations
The first memory, Subdued Ceremony, is located south of Hyrule Castle at the Sacred Ground Ruins. Finding this spot requires navigating past dangerous Guardians guarding the central plains. Another vital memory sits inside Hyrule Castle itself in Zelda's Study, perched high atop the western tower near the Princess's Room.
Woodland and Eldin Region Memories
Heading toward the Great Hyrule Forest, players can discover a memory sitting near Lake Kolomo in Central Hyrule surrounded by lush greenery. Further north in the Eldin region, a memory rests on a high cliff overlooking the Goronbi Lake route. Searching near the woodland borders will also reveal the memory situated at Sanidin Park Ruins, marked by a prominent horse statue.
Lanayru and Necluda Captured Memories
Exploring the eastern provinces leads players to the Spring of Power in the Akkala region, where a memory lies right in front of the sacred goddess statue. Along the path to Mount Lanayru, the Lanayru Road East Gate holds another memory detailing Link's journey with Zelda. In West Necluda, travelers can locate a peaceful memory nestled beneath a large solitary tree between Dueling Peaks and Proser Plains.
Gerudo and Hebra Frontier Memories
In the southwest, players must venture to the Kara Kara Bazaar along the main road to Gerudo Town to find a glowing memory spot near the oasis pool. Heading northwest into the snowy landscapes of the Hebra region leads to the Ancient Columns, where another memory awaits near a hilltop shrine. Finally, a memory rests along the western shore of Lake Hylia near the Bridge of Hylia.
Unlocking the Final Thirteenth Memory
Once all twelve picture locations are visited, return to Impa at Kakariko Village to view a wall painting depicting the ultimate secret location. The thirteenth and final memory is located in the Ash Swamp within the Blatchery Plains, just east of Dueling Peaks. Reaching this glowing spot rewards players with the complete narrative background for Zelda and Link's tragic last stand one hundred years ago.
