'''Ancient Cores''' are items in {{BotW}}.
The '''Travels of Link''' is a photo album added to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening#Ports and Remakes|Link's Awakening DX]]'', the [[Game Boy Color]] remake of ''Link's Awakening''.<ref>{{Cite|'The Travels of Link' / Do you want to look at your album?|N/A|LADX}}</ref> The album is a compilation of the photos taken by the [[Photographer|mouse photographer]] throughout Link's quest, nearly half of which are taken in [[Mabe Village]]. The album is found in the [[Camera Shop]] after the photographer takes the first picture of Link in the shop.<ref>{{Cite|What's your name, young man? Link? Well here's your album, Link. Give it a look before you leave!|[[Photographer]]|LADX}}</ref> Afterwards, Link may encounter various events in game where the photographer returns to take another photograph.<ref>{{Cite|Let's see if we can fill that album!|Photographer|LADX}}</ref> The album can be obtained at anytime except when [[Marin]], [[Madam MeowMeow]]'s [[Chain Chomp#Link's Awakening|BowWow]], or the [[Cucco#Flying Rooster|Blue Rooster]] is following him.<ref>{{Cite|See me later, when you're alone!|Photographer|LADX}}</ref> There are several photographs that can only be taken at certain times, and will be [[Permanently Missable Items|impossible to obtain if Link misses them]], whereas the others are available at anytime.

==Location and Uses==
If Link does not get his first photograph taken at the shop, any moments where he would normally encounter a photo event would be ignored until Link gets his album. The exception to this is the photo of Link [[Thievery|stealing]] from the [[Town Tool Shop]]; if Link steals an item from the shop before going to the Camera Shop, the picture automatically appears in the album when it is made.

Ancient cores are a rare drop from [[Guardian]]s. They can also appear in [[Treasure Chest]]s found in the [[Overworld]], in [[Shrine of Trials|Shrines]] and amiibo rewards. [[Link]] can give them to [[Purah]] at the [[Hateno Ancient Tech Lab]] to upgrade his [[Rune]]s. Alternatively, they can be used at the [[Akkala Ancient Tech Lab]] as ingredients to create various pieces of Ancient equipment, including the Ancient Armor Set, [[Ancient Short Sword]], [[Ancient Bladesaw]] and [[Ancient Spear]]. Five Ancient Cores are needed for the third upgrade of each piece of the Ancient Armor Set at a [[Great Fairy Fountain]].

There are a total of 13 photographs, but only 12 can be taken. Link's first photograph also has an alternate version, but only one or the other can be obtained. Photos 2, 3, and 4 are only available when Marin is accompanying Link. Photo 10 is only available before Link has collected all 5 [[Golden Leaves]] and opened [[Kanalet Castle]] gate. Afterwards, these photos can no longer be obtained. The following is a table containing all 13 photos and how to obtain them.

Another variety of Ancient Cores are [[Giant Ancient Core]]s. These are very rare drops from Guardians and can sometimes be found in Treasure Chests within Shrines. They can be used at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab as ingredients to create the [[Ancient Shield]] and the [[Ancient Bow]]. Two Giant Ancient Cores are needed for the fourth and final upgrade of each piece of the Ancient Armor Set at a [[Great Fairy Fountain]].

* Cutscenes occur before the photographs 2, 4, 6, 10, and 11 are taken. They are viewed in first person from the Photographer's perspective. If Link is wearing the [[Red Clothes|red]] or [[Blue Clothes|blue clothes]], the color changes accordingly in these cutscenes.
