Although Zelda might have confiscated your last home, there's hope for a second sanctuary in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. However, in true Legend of Zelda fashion, you must complete a few menial tasks before you're allowed to buy one.
And not only do you need to buy one, but you're also now in charge of building it yourself. The problem? You'll need the land and the rooms to put it all together, all provided by the illustrious, famous, and oh-so-reliable Hudson Construction... which just so happens to be occupied now. They'll need your help if you want your home to be "Son and done."
Tarrey Town Trivia
Your first stop for this quest is in Tarrey Town. You may remember this little town from the previous title, its creation largely thanks to your efforts.
Living in this town are Hudson and Rhondson, the couple you witnessed get married a long time ago, and they're the ones you'll want to speak with to get this quest rolling. They're speaking with one another on the Hudson Construction building's patio.
Speaking with them will reveal that the two have now produced a daughter worthy of the -son name, Mattison. Unfortunately, she's come of age to leave her life in Tarrey Town behind for an adventure in Gerudo Town (which may or may not be a little ill-timed, depending on when you start this quest).
Liberating Gerudo Town from the Regional Phenomenon is not a prerequisite for this quest. Rhondson will only comment that she worries about her daughter if the sandstorm is still ongoing, but Mattison will still be sent regardless.
They each wish to do something special for their daughter, and that's where you come in. Once they apprise you of the situation, speak with Hudson as he descends the stairs.
Once Hudson tells you about wanting to play with his daughter, you can seek out Mattison on the second floor of the Hudson Construction home.
If Mattison is not there, she sometimes prematurely appears beside the elderly couple at the fountain Goddess shrine.
Speak with Mattison and follow her outside to the fountain, where she'll begin a language lesson with her grandparents. After she's done explaining, she'll ask you what "grandmother" is in Gerudo.
Answer "Vaba" to receive Mattison's praise and end the brief trivia game.
You Shall Not Pass...This Mine Cart!
Next, Mattison will want to visit her father at the Construction Yard. She'll need to take the mine cart on the far side of town down, but there's a bit of a hiccup: a man is blocking the use of the mine cart for monetary exploitation.
Mattison will give you a hint on what to do:
You have two options here:
- Pay the man twenty rupees for her to ride the cart down.
- Block the man's gaze by grabbing the board, leaning against the house nearby, and placing it in front of him.
Whichever you choose, Mattison will run to the cart and take it down. Follow her by summoning the cart again through the man nearby or paraglide down.
You can also take this opportunity to complete the Jochi-Ihiga Shrine by purchasing the stone beside the exploiting man, taking it down with you in the mine cart, and building a raft from nearby trees to follow the light to the nearby shrine area.
Painting A New Sun - Mattison's Balloon
Mattison will be beside Hudson in front of the central building and a balloon. Speak to them to be given your next task: painting the balloon.
To paint the balloon yellow, you'll need at least ten Sundelions.
There are several places to find them, but your best bet is to find them in the western and southern areas of the Sky map. They're abundant on the islands, and you can skip between their shrines to collect enough.
The best Sky areas to find Sundelions are:
- South Eldin
- Sokkala
- North Akkala
Give ten Sundelions to Hudson to paint the balloon and go on a short balloon ride.
Once you've gone through the series of cutscenes to follow and Mattison finally goes off on her journey, you will be given 200 rupees as a reward.
Additionally, if you visit Rhondson after completing this quest, you will finally be able to build your own home. Rhondson's second reward for your help will be a discount on purchasing land and two rooms for a custom home of your own. Instead of 3,000 rupees, you'll only need 1,500 to get started on your new adventure: "Home On Arrange."
