Breath of the Wild – All Memory Locations

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sends players on a quest to unlock all of Link's missing memories. Here is where to find them.

In Breath of the Wild, you’ve slain Lynels, tamed stallions, and collected countless Korok seeds. But now it’s time to unlock the lost memories of the past and uncover the secrets that led to the Calamity. The Captured Memories quest is among the most engaging yet tedious side quests in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Still, it’s such a relevant quest that we’re almost hesitant to label it as side content. As someone who went up against Ganon without getting this done first, we can tell you it’s an absolute game-changer. With 12 lost memories scattered throughout the Breath of the Wild map, players need to use their skills to find the exact location of each one to complete the mission successfully.

Players need to talk to Impa in Kakariko village to start the Breath of the Wild Captured Memories quest. Then, she will give them the task of locating the memories depicted in the pictures found in the Sheikah stone photo album. Once the player has all 12 memories, they will be rewarded with the mighty tunic of the chosen one and can see the game’s true ending.

To find Memory 13, players must have found the other 12 memories and then spoken to Impa in Kakariko village. She will show them a picture on the wall, and Breath of the Wild players will need to find the location depicted in the picture to activate the cinematic memory.
