Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Replaces All Compendium Entries With Selfies

Key Takeaways

  • One Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player is replacing all compendium entries with selfies of Link.
  • The player wasn’t sure if this challenge had ever been done before, and their photos of Link with mushrooms and exploding debris were well worth the effort.
  • Challenging endeavors like photographing 509 entries for the Hyrule Compendium can be comically rewarding.

As a seasoned Zelda gamer with countless hours spent traversing Hyrule since the days of the NES, I must say I’ve seen some quirky things, but nothing quite like this! A player replacing all compendium entries with selfies of Link is an ingenious idea that showcases both creativity and dedication. It’s a testament to the community’s ingenuity and the game’s intricate details that such a challenge can even be attempted.


A player of ‘The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’ has proposed an exciting project to the game’s community, which includes swapping all compendium entries with selfies. With Link’s upgrade from the Sheikah Slate in ‘Breath of the Wild’ to the Purah Pad in ‘Tears of the Kingdom’, the tireless hero can capture and save monsters, items, weapons, and various discoveries from his journey across Hyrule in the Compendium during his exploration of the kingdom.

The most recent addition to Nintendo’s “Zelda” series is called “The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom,” which came out in September 2024. This game, reminiscent of “Link’s Awakening,” has been well-received so far due to its action-adventure style and building on the success of 2023’s “Tears of the Kingdom.” While they share similar aspects like appealing characters and customization features, what sets “Echoes of Wisdom” apart is that it allows players to control Zelda for the first time ever in the series.

On Reddit, user wheat_cat posted a collection of images from the game “Tears of the Kingdom,” showcasing Link striking selfie poses alongside various items. The player admitted to replacing every entry in the game’s compendium with selfies of the protagonist and the associated object, remarking that it could serve as an engaging pastime, stating, “Give it a try if you’re looking for something to do; it takes some time.” Uncertain whether this self-assigned task was unique, the player’s humorous snaps of Link with mushrooms and explosions were certainly worth the investment. Completing the compendium in “Tears of the Kingdom” is known to be a particularly challenging feat, though not essential for finishing the game. The amusing style of many of the user’s photos left Redditors in stitches.

Given there are 509 distinct items to capture in the Hyrule Compendium, the player faces quite a challenge. A Reddit user humorously commented that Link might be self-centered for aiming to be part of each compendium entry. Another user found it aggravating when they overlooked taking a photo of an uncommon enemy. Moreover, one enthusiast confessed they shared a similar notion with the original poster, as they chose to take selfies in front of every stable in Tears of the Kingdom.

In the realm of gaming, I often find myself striking a pose in the photo mode of my favorite Zelda titles like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Nintendo cleverly provides Link with an array of poses to capture the breathtaking landscapes and charming NPCs of Hyrule. One dedicated gamer I know even managed to snap a selfie with every single NPC in the game, a truly herculean task! And let’s not forget the colossal challenge of gathering every Korok Seed in both Tears of the Kingdom and its predecessor – talk about dedication!
