The world of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is full of strange characters. From Bubbul Gems eating frogs to Lost Koroks wanting to be reunited with their friends, you will come across various colorful characters on his journey to save Hyrule. One such person is Addison, an employee of Hudson Construction Company, holding President Hudson’s sign in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Addison’s devotion to his company’s boss goes, Hudson, goes way beyond what people call normal. You will come across him at various places in Hyrule, holding Hudson signs upright. Sadly, all those signs are missing one of their support legs, and the poor guy is holding them upright due to his loyalty.
How to help Addison fix Hudson Signs in Zelda: TotK
Hudson Signs side quest is more like Korok seeds collection side activity in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, where you are rewarded almost immediately. Every time you interact with him, Addison is adamant about preventing President Hudson’s signs from falling. You can persuade him to let go of the sign, which will greatly upset Addison.
You can always help him by fixing the missing leg of the Hudson sign. Tell him to leave the sign once more (after fixing it temporarily), and Addison will quickly fix the sign permanently. As a token of his appreciation for fixing each Hudson Sign, Addison will give you 20 rupees and a meal as a reward.
The broken Hudson signs can be fixed using Link’s Ultrahand ability. Luckily, every time you encounter Addison, he is standing beside Hudson Construction Company supplies. You can use these supplies to your heart’s content, and it doesn’t cost you anything.
TIP
The best way to support Hudson Signs is by using a Hover Platform. It is a zonai device that you can hit to make it hover in the air. Place it beneath the sign and ask Addison to let go.
Use Link’s Ultrahand ability to manipulate the wooden planks and logs. Attach them to the sign in a way that it doesn’t fall to the side when Addison lets it go. Some signs have different heights and different resources available near them. This isn’t a one-shoe-fits-all kind of situation, and you need to get creative with your building ideas.
You can also take items from the surrounding areas or use the ones in your inventory to help Addison fix Hudson signs. Let your imagination run wild, as there are no limits to what you can do in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
