Building Tarrey Town through the From the Ground Up quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is widely considered one of the most fulfilling side adventures in the entire game. Unlike typical fetch quests, this lengthy journey allows players to watch a thriving community rise directly from a vacant landmass in Akkala. Completing this multi-stage endeavor requires significant resource gathering, strategic travel across Hyrule, and recruitment of specialized individuals from various tribes.
Prerequisites and Unlocking the Tarrey Town Project
Before you can initiate the From the Ground Up questline, you must first purchase your house in Hateno Village from Bolson Construction. After paying 3,000 rupees and providing thirty bundles of wood, Hudson will pack his belongings and set off for the Akkala region. You can find Hudson standing on a central island within Lake Akkala, where he outlines his ambitious vision to build a new settlement.
Starting the project requires delivering an initial batch of wood to help establish basic infrastructure. Hudson will continually request additional wood bundles alongside specific recruits as construction progresses. Gathering plenty of lumber beforehand will save you considerable travel time between recruitment phases.
Recruiting the Name-Ending Specialists Across Hyrule
A unique rule enforced by Bolson Construction states that every hired worker's name must end in the suffix son. First, you must travel to the Southern Mine in Eldin to find a Goron named Greyson, who will supply raw mining labor and open a gem shop in Tarrey Town. Deliver another set of wood bundles to Hudson before searching for your next recruit.
Next, visit Kara Kara Bazaar in the Gerudo Desert to find Rhondson, a skilled seamstress who can set up an armor shop for travelers. After delivering more wood to Hudson, head to Rito Village to recruit Fyson, who will manage a general shop stocked with essential arrows. Finally, speak with Kapson at Zora's Domain to secure a priest who can oversee local ceremonies and manage a free inn service.
Final Construction Requirements and Celebration
Once all four recruits are settled in their respective roles, Hudson asks for a final delivery of fifty wood bundles to complete the town infrastructure. After handing over the supplies, you must invite Bolson and Karson from Hateno Village to attend the grand wedding ceremony between Hudson and Rhondson. Return to Tarrey Town to witness the heartwarming event that officially concludes the questline.
Completing this lengthy venture unlocks a vibrant settlement featuring rare item vendors, unique armor shops, and convenient rest areas. Furthermore, players gain access to Granté, a special merchant who sells rare gear replacements on the balcony of one of the newly constructed houses.
