Building Tarrey Town stands out as one of the most fulfilling long-term achievements in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Unlike standard settlements already established across Hyrule, this unique island community is built completely from scratch through player effort. Understanding how to unlock the questline and locate the island allows players to access valuable vendors, rare equipment, and unique services.
Starting the Quest in Hateno Village
Before traveling to the construction site, Link must first trigger the multi-stage endeavor in Hateno Village. You need to purchase the abandoned home from Bolson by paying 3,000 Rupees and supplying 30 bundles of wood. Once the house is purchased, speak with Hudson behind the property to learn about his new assignment in the Akkala region.
Locating Lake Akkala and Reaching the Island
To reach the future settlement, journey to the eastern side of Hyrule into the Akkala region. The town is situated on a circular island positioned right in the center of Lake Akkala, connected to the mainland by a single land bridge. Fast-traveling to the Dah Hesho Shrine or gliding down from Akkala Tower provides the easiest access route to the island.
Gathering Wood and Recruiting Key Specialists
Constructing the full village requires delivering a total of 110 bundles of wood to Hudson across several stages. After each delivery, Link must travel across Hyrule to recruit workers whose names end in "-son" to establish shops and services. Players can explore helpful travel guides on gaming platforms to efficiently locate the required Goron, Gerudo, Rito, and Zora residents.
Unlocking Merchants and Village Services
Completing the entire quest chain culminates in a festive wedding ceremony between Hudson and Rhondson. Afterward, Tarrey Town transforms into a thriving hub featuring a free inn, gemstone shop, and arrow vendor. Players also gain access to Granté, a special merchant who sells rare armor sets and replacement Hylian Shields.
