Hylian Homeowner

Requirements

Location

Bolson is available on the south side of a house near Firly Pond. Talk to him to start the quest.

Walkthrough

First, collect 30 pieces of wood. Head to the Owa Daim shrine, glide down to the east towards the Old Man's house, and start blowing up trees with bombs. One bomb will knock them down, another turns them into wood. While not all trees are bombable, if you run out, just teleport to the Owa Daim shrine and do it again. There are of course a ton of other ways to collect wood as well.

Once you turn those in, the next step is 3,000 rupees. 3,000 rupees may seem like a lot but it won't take much adventuring to get it, as long as you keep an eye out for any ore nodes and blow them up, and then sell what drops from them. This is probably the easiest and laziest way to make money without going out of your way, and can be done while you're doing other things, like collecting Korok Seeds, other side quests, or even the Main Quest. There are of course a ton of other ways to get money as well.

Once you turn in the 3,000 rupees, you'll be prompted to talk to Hudson, which will start the From the Ground Up sidequest. But we're still on this one, so after that, talk to Bolson again.

This now unlocks the ability to upgrade the home. There are 14 possible upgrades, at a cost of 100 rupees each, and they can be done in any order.

• Weapon, bow and shield displays: Put your currently equipped weapon on display. This gets it out of your inventory to free up space without permanently throwing it away, and can be retrieved later.
• Bed: While you can pass time at any fire, passing time in your bed will also heal you, and is free, unlike an Inn.
• Other upgrades are available too, but are purely for cosmetics.

When all 1,400 rupees have been spent, the quest will finally complete.
