Tarrey Town is one of the most comprehensive and rewarding Side Quests in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. On your first visit, the future settlement in Akkala practically only consists of a rocky island and a goddess statue. Over the course of the Side Quest “On expansion course” help you Hudson In doing so, this abandoned place becomes a complete village with residents, shops, a free inn and several additional ones Side Quests to build. This is what you need in total 110 bundles of wood and have to find a Goron, a Gerudo, a Rito and find a Zora, whose names each end in “-da” according to the rules of the construction company Jolanda. In the end, it’s not just the wedding that awaits you Hudson and Rhondson as well as a reward of three diamonds, but also the rare dealer Granté, where you, among other things, destroyed one Hylian Shield can replace.
Requirement – buy your own house in Hateno Village
Before you can build Tarrey Town, you must first start the Side Quest “Your own dream house” in Hateno Village and buy Link’s house. The building is on the southeastern edge of Hateno Village behind a small bridge. Bolson initially demands an absurdly high sum, but ultimately agrees to 3,000 Rupees and 30 bundles of wood. As soon as the house belongs to Link, talk to Hudson, who has been working on the construction site together with Bolson and Karson. Bolson sends him to Akkala as part of the expansion of the construction company Jolanda and Hudson sets off – thus starting “On Expansion Course”.
If you want to do both the house and Tarrey Town from scratch, you will need at least 140 bundles of wood: 30 for Link’s house and another 110 for Tarrey Town. It is therefore worthwhile to collect large amounts of wood early on. It’s best to fell trees with a lumberjack ax or blow them up with long-range bombs to conserve the durability of your weapons; Then you also have to destroy the lying tree trunk so that it becomes a bundle of wood.
Where is Tarrey Town?
Tarrey Town is located in the Akkala region on a large rocky island in Lake Akkala, southeast or east of Akkala Tower. A long, narrow land bridge connects the future village with the mainland. On your first visit there is hardly anything to see there except Hudson, some large boulders and a goddess statue. Speak to Hudson to begin the actual construction. You can also find our complete journey through all regions in the Breath of the Wild Walkthrough.

10 wooden bundles for Hudson
When you arrive, speak to Hudson. He has already chosen the name Tarrey Town for the new settlement, but he is missing building materials. First bring him 10 wood bundles. If you have regularly cut down trees or destroyed wooden boxes during your journey so far, these should already be in your inventory. Otherwise, you can use practically any forest for farming; Areas with lots of densely packed trees where you can work with long-range bombs are particularly convenient.
After the handover, Hudson explains that the large boulders on the island must first be removed. For this he needs a strong Goron. However, there is an unusual requirement from the construction company Jolanda: Every new employee must have a name that ends in “-da”.
Find Greyson – Gorone from the South Mine
Your first new resident is Greyson. Travel to the Eldin region to South Mine on the way to Goron City. During the day, Greyson works there with the other Gorons and doesn’t like to be disturbed. So wait until the evening or night, when he sits at the stove with his colleagues. Talk to him and tell him about the work in Tarrey Town. Greyson is bored with his previous job and happily accepts the offer.
Greyson doesn’t travel to Akkala alone: his younger brother Pelison is also coming with him. Then return to Tarrey Town. Greyson starts breaking the huge boulders while Pelison sells the gems he finds. Tarrey Town already has its first store.
Pupundas Gem Shop
Pelison opens a small stand immediately after his arrival. He sells the gemstones that his brother discovers while smashing the rocks. The offer is particularly practical if you are still missing a specific gemstone for a armor upgrade, but the purchase prices are correspondingly high.
| Gemstone | price |
|---|---|
| Diamond | 2.000 Rupees |
| Sapphire | 1.040 Rupees |
| Rhodonite | 840 Rupees |
| Topaz | 720 Rupees |
20 bundles of wood and pauda at the desert bazaar
Speak to Hudson again. For the next construction phase he needs 20 more bundles of wood. After the handover, he needs someone who can sew and repair his work clothes. We are therefore looking for a Gerudo whose name also ends in “-da”. The correct candidate is called Rhondson and is located at Desert Bazaar on the way to Gerudo Town. During the day she sits in a shady shelter at the bazaar and complains that, despite her skills as a seamstress, she cannot find suitable work.
Tell Rhondson about Tarrey Town. The prospect of work and a new start finally convinces her to set off for Akkala. If you don’t see the corresponding conversation option, take off your Gerudo disguise as a precaution and speak to her again. Then return to Hudson.
Paudas Boutique “Dadaism” complete desert set
Rhondson opens the boutique “Dadaism” in Tarrey Town. There she sells the complete male desert set, which you can otherwise get in the Gerudo Secret Club. The armor offers heat protection and can be improved with the Great Fairies.
| Armor part | price |
|---|---|
| Desert forehead protector | 450 Rupees |
| Desert shoulder guard | 1.300 Rupees |
| Desert Leg Guard | 650 Rupees |
It is now clear that more than just an employment relationship is developing between Hudson and Rhondson. This storyline becomes important at the end of the quest.
30 bundles of wood and peda in the village of Rito
Hudson is planning more buildings and now demands 30 wood bundles. After that, Tarrey Town needs a trader who can run a general store and establish trading contacts. The choice falls on a Rito – of course again with a name starting with “-da”. Travel to Rito Village and find Fyson on the lower level of the village. The young Rito is the son of a family of traders, but doesn’t want to help out in his mother’s shop forever and dreams of running his own business.
Tell him about Tarrey Town and Fyson enthusiastically sets off for Akkala. Back in the village, he opens the Naughty Sparrow, Tarrey Town Branch, one of the most useful arrow traders in the game.
Pedas Shop – Arrows and Antique Gear
| Item | price |
|---|---|
| Ancient Gear | 120 Rupees |
| 10 wooden arrows | 35 Rupees |
| 10 Fire Arrows | 140 Rupees |
| 10 Ice Arrows | 140 Rupees |
| 10 electric arrows | 140 Rupees |
| 10 bomb arrows | 350 Rupees |
The large bundles of arrows in particular make Fyson’s shop an excellent stopover if you want to replenish your supplies for shrines, Lynels or Hyrule Castle. Fyson is also one of the few dealers where you can buy ancient guardian material directly.
50 bundles of wood – last large delivery
Now comes the most expensive construction phase. Hudson demands 50 more bundles of wood. This means you delivered a total of 110 bundles during “On Expansion Course”. If you haven’t collected enough wood, you should now go to a larger forest and consistently use long-range bombs. Wood has no quality level and each destroyed normal tree can provide a bundle, so you can get the missing amount relatively quickly.
After the handover, Hudson surprises you with news: He and Rhondson are engaged and want to get married in Tarrey Town. The village is now almost complete, but there is still someone missing who can perform the ceremony.
Find Kapson in the village of Zora
Hudson is looking for an experienced priest. Therefore travel to the village of the Zora and look for the older Zora Kapson. He is on a level below or behind the staircase to King Dorephan. Kapson used to work as a priest and would like to have another meaningful job when he gets older. Tell him about Hudson and Rhondson’s wedding and he will immediately head to Tarrey Town.
With Kapson, Tarrey Town also receives its last important building: the inn. You can go there after he arrives stay completely free of charge, restore your hearts and sleep until morning, noon or night. If you visit Tarrey Town regularly anyway, there is no reason to go to other places Rupees to spend on a normal bed.
Invite Bolson and Karson to the wedding
Kapson alone is enough Hudson not yet. His old colleagues are also supposed to be at his wedding Bolson and Karson be invited. Therefore travel back to Hateno Village to Left house and talk to the two construction workers. Deliver the invitation and then return to Tarrey Town one last time.
Wedding of Hudson and Rhondson
When all requirements are met, the wedding ceremony begins. Almost all of Tarrey Town’s residents gather in the central square, Kapson takes over the wedding ceremony and Hudson and Rhondson exchange vows. This means that the original building site has finally become a living settlement in which Gorons, Gerudo, Rito, Zora and Hylians live together.
Talk to me again after the wedding Hudson. In gratitude for Link’s enormous help, he gives it to you three diamonds. That’s it Side Quest “On expansion course” completed.
Granté – the rare trader of Tarrey Town
One of the main reasons for building Tarrey Town is Granté. The Sheikah is the son of Robbie and Jerrin and is on the balcony of the northeasternmost house in the settlement. He specializes in rare equipment and can replace many unique items that you have already found and subsequently sold or lost.
Granté doesn’t work like a normal armor shop, however. He basically only sells equipment that Link has already discovered at least once. An exception sometimes applies to complete armor sets: As soon as you have found one component of a set, the remaining parts can also become available. This is particularly important with the Hylian Shield. Only after you receive the original in the Hyrule Castle dungeon will Granté be able to later sell a replacement if the shield breaks.
Buy
Hylian Shield from Granté
The Hylian Shield is one of the most durable shields in Breath of the Wild, but is not indestructible. If your original breaks, you don’t have to do without it permanently. Once you have retrieved the shield from Hyrule Castle at least once and it is no longer in Link’s inventory, Granté will sell a new Hylian Shield for 3,000 Rupees. For our 100% walkthrough, Tarrey Town is therefore an extremely important permanent point of contact, at the latest before the complete castle tour.
What armor does Granté sell?
Granté’s range includes several unique pieces of armor that you can normally only find once in the game world or receive as quest rewards. These include, among other things, the climbing, insulating and barbarian set as well as sand and snow boots. Installed DLC armor can also become available as a replacement after you have collected the original at least once.
| Item | price |
|---|---|
| Old shirt | 50 Rupees |
| Old trousers | 50 Rupees |
| climbing headscarf | 4.000 Rupees |
| climbing gloves | 4.000 Rupees |
| climbing boots | 4.000 Rupees |
| Rubber Helm | 4.000 Rupees |
| Rubber Armor | 4.000 Rupees |
| insulating trousers | 4.000 Rupees |
| Barbarian Mask | 4.000 Rupees |
| Barbarian Armor | 4.000 Rupees |
| Barbarian Pants | 4.000 Rupees |
| sand boots | 800 Rupees |
| snow boots | 800 Rupees |
| Hylian Shield | 3.000 Rupees |
Depending on the additional content installed, its range can be supplemented with other DLC armor that has already been found. Granté is particularly suitable as a safety net if you accidentally sell unique armor. You can still find the normal Locations of all sets in our guide to the armor in Breath of the Wild.
All stores in Tarrey Town
| resident | Shop | Special feature |
|---|---|---|
| Pelison | Gem Store | diamonds, sapphires, rhodonite and topaz |

| Fyson | Cheeky Sparrow, Tarrey Town Branch | Arrow Bundle and Antique Gear |

Kilton in Tarrey Town
After you have unlocked Kilton’s Monster Shop at Skull Pond, Tarrey Town also has one of his nighttime locations. Kilton appears after dark below the bridge that leads to the village over Lake Akkala. This means you can visit several rare dealers in one visit: Granté in the village and Kilton below the driveway.
Side Quest “The Little Cake Monster”
As Tarrey Town grows, more residents move into the settlement, including Ruli, Hagie and their sick daughter Hunnie. This creates the Side Quest “The Little Cake Monster”. Listen to the family under the window at night and then talk to Ruli. Hunnie refuses to eat practically anything, but a monster cake might help.
For a monster cake you need one each of monster essence, Tabanta wheat, cane sugar and goat butter. Monster Essence is sold by Kilton, while the remaining ingredients are available from various vendors Hyrule’s. Cook all four ingredients together and bring the cake to Ruli. Hunnie recovers and you will receive a golden Rupee worth 300 Rupees as a reward.
Side Quest “Pastime for the nouveau riche”
The second additional Side Quest comes from Hagie, who stands on the edge of Tarrey Town during the day and looks out over the Tarrin Swamp. He considers himself extremely wealthy and tasks Link with destroying the two active Guardian runners in the swamp. He will already give you 100 Rupees as an advance.
Defeat both guards and then report success to him. Hagie pays you another 20 Rupees and explains smugly that no one said that the advance had to be less than the actual final payment. This little mission should not be missing from our complete side task list.

Why Tarrey Town is worth it
“Expanding” requires more preparation than most Side Quests in Breath of the Wild, but is also one of the most rewarding. Step by step, one of the most versatile settlements Hyrule’s is emerging from an empty rocky island: you can buy gems, arrows and the desert set, sleep for free, visit Kilton at night and replace unique equipment with Granté. At the same time, the quest tells one of the game’s most charming little stories and ends with the wedding of two characters that Link himself brought together.
For a complete game, you should not view Tarrey Town as an optional side task. The city connects several Side Quests, shops and unique functions and becomes particularly valuable if you collect rare armor or need a way to replace it later after finding the Hylian Shield. Afterwards, you can continue with the full exploration of Akkala and the remaining regions Hyrule’s via our Breath of the Wild Walkthrough.
