Players are still discovering a host of neat little touches in Tears of the Kingdom, and one of the latest is great news for photo aficionados.

One user on the Tears of the Kingdom subreddit has discovered that if you take out Links camera out during the game, and put it into selfie mode while close to any NPC – they’ll look directly at the camera for you, making it perfect to take some selfies with Link and the many other characters he meets in his journey above, across and below the land of Hyrule.

Sure enough, we tried it for ourselves and no matter where we’d move the camera in selfie mode, any nearby NPCs would turn to face Link’s camera – ensuring we’d get some really good shots every time. And in case you weren’t aware – the trick to make Link pose for the camera from Breath of the Wild returns in this game too – just twiddle the left stick to make Link cycle through a variety of different poses.

In the midst of all the insane Ultrahand creations like laser cannons, mechs and torture devices, it’s really lovely that Nintendo has included a bunch of smaller details to make players smile – and it’s certainly been appreciated by the community. “Wow, the little details are astounding” said Tekhead. “This game won’t be GOTY – it won’t even be GOTD – it’s going to be Game of a Generation, it’s that good” responds siz_ey.
