How to Get Link's House in Tears of the Kingdom + Layout Tips!

[@Koa_Neuva]

Pro tip: If you want to add more rooms but don't have enough open slots to build any more, consider ditching the stairs or multiple entrances for rooms you can just ascend into. 😉

[@avon_c6199]

This is one of those "OH MY GOD, why didn't I think of that?" moments. xD I wish we could expand the property size and total rooms by just throwing more rupees or rare materials at the guy, maybe they can (and hopefully will) expand that with a DLC...but in the meantime I'll use that pro tip of yours, thanks! :D

[@loveanuy]

This whole side quest would have been more touching if they didn’t disregard the other npc kids we interacted with in botw. Mattison was born and grew to reading and writing age but Cottla, the Hateno kid you show weapons to and the kid that shows you the bargainer statue are all literally the same age. I can’t see them being anything other than lazy with Cottla, seeing as they aged up Koko but not her. And they could have easily aged up the Hateno kids INSTEAD of creating new older kid npcs. You can’t even say they forgot since they have to make new dialogue for all of them.

My house is an entry way and bedroom for the bottom floor, with three more floors made of a triangle room with weapon/bow/shield stands on each side making an armory tower. 15 rooms just isn't enough

[@MagnumForce51]

If you are gonna work on building a large complex multistory house I highly recommend building a time out cage for Grantéson. His ass gonna get in your way constantly as he did for me. I don't understand why he has to follow you around so closely on a active construction site. It seems kinda stupid. He's standing in blind spots of a dude who can move massive room modules with a magic arm....maybe just stand outside the roped area my dude. Anyways he spawns in a consistant area near his booth so just build a small cage with some wooden boards you can find near the shrine that is near this place and attach it to a stake. Then stamp it down a bit to the right front of his booth. He's a problem no more! :D I understand Nintendo wanted to make it quicker for players to reach him to end/change up room load outs and such but his AI really needs improvement. Maybe have him stand at the edge and tell the player to whistle at him once you want to talk to him THEN he'll run into the roped area to get near Link. It seems like an obvious improvement to him if you ask me. :P Also my final house design didn't have a front door at all. I sacrificed the front door room so I can have the max possible equipment rooms for my house. My layout happened to result in some of the second floor rooms overhanging the bottom so I can just ascend in/out of the house. It's the most secure house in Hyrule! Can't break in if there's no doors or windows. :D As for what rooms to go for first. Definitely shield and sword rooms. Keep in mind you can fuse shields/swords to each other so you effectively have 6 slots for swords and shields if you have 1 shield room and 1 sword room and the guy who does the defusing is just a short glide down to Terry Town nearby! :D

[@gothard5]

I cannot recommend saving before purchasing rooms enough. I had to reload 3 times because I kept buying the wrong rooms. The first time, I bought furnished square rooms instead of empty ones. The second time, I bought a second bedroom by mistake. The third time, I bought a paddock and I didn’t realize until after I had finished everything that a paddock is open on all four sides whoch completely messed up the whole house. The fourth time, I decided to make the last room a gallery. Everything is good now. I really wanted all 9 display stand rooms though. A huge 3 story mansion would have been awesome. Sucks that you can’t upgrade your maximum number of rooms.

Also there are no rooms with only 1 space so the study is double useless because you're going to have it face outside or make a space unusable The upper part of the stairs should only take 1 slot, the other is just empty There could be an armor stand and a garden à la Hateno as well Also I think the pond will never respawn a fish if you take the one that comes with it and all the ones in the inventory are dead Edit : the fish does respawn but it's always the same one

I personally like how Zelda games usually have different cultures that are not to stereotypical or on the nose. Like, Gorons are not a racial stereotype, they are Rockbiters and sumo-wrestlers and a few other odd design choices. And Gerudos are not Arabic-themed really but more a combination of Egyptian and ancient Greek "Amazons". Like, it would have been easy to make the races into ham-fisted stereotypes of different real-world ethnic groups, but they didn't.

The only real issue I have with it is the room limit. I had to get a bit creative to have every room I wanted (which was everything except the triangle room) and it doesnt look that great from the outside. If I had more rooms - say, 20 - not only could I install another square room and actually have the space to have side rooms connect 1-1, but I could also have more than one of each weapon display. I'm alright with it now, but I do wish it was a little bigger. I'm going to guess its a little more complicated than it seems (maybe an internal coding thing) but I do hope they raise the limit somehow.

Also the colouring of building parts, your building is always green while the rest of these buildings have different colours for every cube. And finally the limit needs to go up, like waaaaay up. Building a house should be yet another creative way to express yourself. However, I cannot even come close to recreating other buildings, let alone creating something unique. I was very happy when I unlocked this feature, but quickly got bored from a lack of options.

[@jacobyullman5005]

My favorite home layout is to have the ground floor be 3 triangle rooms put together like the bottom of the tri-force (middle one is furnished). Where the top triangle of the tri-force would be is an indoor staircase, and the rest of the open sides are closed with a bedroom and 3 weapon rooms. The 2nd floor has a furnished square room attached to the top of the staircase, a kitchen directly across from the stairs, and a goddess statue counter-clockwise from the staircase. The entrance room closes off the last open wall of the square room, and has an outdoor staircase leading down to the ground. The horse paddock is attached to the outside wall of the first-floor room which sits below the entry way, and the garden pond is placed on top of it to surround the outside of the porch area. I then place a travel medallion down right in front of the outdoor staircase like a welcome mat.

[@e-zombiehero]

I do agree the limitations on house building is upsetting considering they could have used the designated space to allow the player to lock in all kinds of ultra hand constructions along side the rooms. But to me what is really missed potential here is the Gallery Room. They could have allowed screenshots from the player's Switch to be displayed here, which means we could have had captures from cutscenes, Skyward Sword HD, Link's Awakening or a Minecraft rebuild of Hyrule Castle. If the photo storage works the same a BotW however that does mean you could potentially inject photos into your in game camera when emulating.

Magic rods/staves/scepters with gems on them kinda look like torches in weapon rooms, if you're keen on decorating. You can also store a LOT of weapon bases, if you're the type to want to hoard them - with Tarrey Town nearby, you can always split them, so fearlessly fuse weapon bases together for bulk storage. Three weapon storage rooms, with three slots each, each of which can have essentially two weapon bases - that's 18 weapon bases you can store in those alone. You can store a further 9 melee weapons in your 3 shield rooms if you fuse them to shields first.

I just realized something: Grantéson is Granté, Robbie’s and Jerrin‘s son who sold you another Hylian Shield in BOTW if yours broke. It appears he changed his name to be able to work for Hudson Construction!! Also, thank you Austin for all of your helpful videos. You’re the best!

[@ryn3872]

The inspection is to see if everything is inside the ropes, that’s the only restriction

[@ryanmcfall1127]

Also you'll fail inspection if you dropped an item on any room

[@kurocat471]

i personally have 3 weapon stands, 1 bow stand, and 1 shield stand for all the unique weapons (champion and amiibo) since there are 9 weapons and 2 of each of the others. then just bedroom, statue room, and kitchen plus a nice layout looks great and fits what i need. i just wish you could change the outside more to look nicer

[@camlin4147]

Love the concept of being able to build your own house in-game! And it's fairly well-executed. Overall, I'm happy! BUT, I would LOVE to see the concept expanded in future DLC!! ((tldr: more of the same sentiment below.)) While not a popular aesthetic choice, the modular design is a great choice for a simple yet (mostly) seamless home-building feature. Plus, the style has roots in the world...which is awfully convenient, and makes me wonder if they had something similar planned for BotW but had to scrap the idea at the time. But I digress. I want more landscaping and exterior design options. I want a rectangular hallway, as opposed to just squares and triangles. I want a smaller foyer that I can use as a back door or as an upstairs balcony door. I want at least one other 1x1 room to pair with the study. I want to be able to add (and remove) walls. (Not entire rooms--just walls, like interior walls to partially or fully close off a room from the rest of the house, or an exterior wall to cap off an open room.) Unfortunately, I can think of several excellent reasons why most of these things aren't available (yet). The main one: this isn't The Sims, or any other kind of life sim. In fact, it's a pretty low-priority side feature of a truly excellent adventure/RPG game. What we got is about the simplest and most efficient method the developers could have used to give us the freedom of customizable houses without bogging down game performance, requiring a massive and probably clunky interface for home editing, and/or requiring an undue amount of time/effort on the part of developers/testers/artists. Windows, for example. What if players want to put two rooms side-by-side or back-to-back? The game designers would have to: 1. let windows and walls conflict with each other, 2. limit the ways in which players can build their homes to prevent conflicts, 3. design a complicated (and probably glitchy) logic algorithm that decides whether windows should appear on any given wall, or 4. just don't have windows. From that perspective...well, jeez, it's no wonder why they went with option 4! At least, that's what I try to remind myself whenever I look upon my windowless in-game home. ...Sigh. That said, I really, really would love to see this feature expanded upon even a little bit in some future DLC!!!

[@crazystrike2942]

I was wondering how to get the house. Thanks for the awesome videos.

[@waz207]

I had no idea getting a home was a thing in this one. I only just went to Tarrey Town a few days ago and was blown away that there was a guy who could un-fuse my gear and let me keep my stuff…looks like I need to go back! Been hunting Korok seeds like mad since I never seem to have enough weapon slots, so getting 9 more will definitely help

[@john-wiggains]

Love this feature, I just hope they expand it in DLC. Feels very very limited, especially for the amount of space they give us. I don’t want a house. I want a mansion. That’s my power fantasy.

[@Drakull_Art]

the only thing i dont like about this new house mechanic is the 15 room limit

[@MarkHogan994]

The inspection is just about everything being within the perimeter (the ropes). That's it. The rooms don't have to be connected properly, or even at all. I tested it, they can be disconnected or connected in completely nonsensical ways and it still works. You can even have a room that is essentially magically suspended in the air by only being connected to one tiny corner of the room below, with most of the upper room just hanging over nothing.

[@FadeToHollow]

13:00 Eventide Island depths, royal and royal guards broadsword, and claymore, spawn here VERY consistently. HUGE tip for finding pristine versions, you DO NOT have to unlock an area, aka do the regional phenomenon, to get pristine weapon spawns. Just find and break an unfused version you want to start spawning (personally i found that I had to break 2 for it to start, but ymmv). Then go find a ghost in the region you wanna spawn, take their weapon, and this starts their spawning scycle each blood moon. Wait for a blood moon, and go check your ghosts and use saves to rng the weapon and modifiers you want. (Note: the ghosts are locked to regional specific weapon types, meaning, for example, gerudo ghosts will spawn gerudo weapons, and each ghost will be 1 of the 3 types of melee weapons, sword, claymore, or spear) I have over 50 hrs of testing on this with just the wind temple done. As far as I can tell unlocking the region just ups the spawn rate, but does not unlock the weapon spawn specifically. I have Gerudo and Royal guards weapons, with not much story done, but I also have a high xp level since I hunt lynals and gleekos for fun. So take that as you will, happy weapon hunting. 🤘😎

[@riolluu]

If they gonna make us be able to build and customize our own house at least give us more buildings to use

[@pokeminer20]

my own house is pure utility, 3 square rooms, all 9 weapon storing rooms, the entrance, a bed and the stairs. I made it by merging two square rooms together like you did, and centering the entrance and stairs between both rooms. Connected the last square room on top and had enough space to place all 10 remaining rooms

[@ashwilliams3859]

Link doesn't need the stairs. You're wasting your unit capacity by using them. My 6 story house is completely stairless and I'm pretty sure Nintendo gave us stairs as a joke.

[@channelofmojos2779]

If you're trying to maximize how many different rooms you can use don't use the triangular ones(I'm using 2 non furnished squares, 1 indoor staircase and 1 furnished square). If I sacrificed the layout I was going for I could have every non-structural room type, presently I'm only lacking the gallery, but with the view and open upstairs patio with open air kitchen, garden and balcony ledge pool facing the valley, who needs a gallery.

[@COscott13]

Inspection only checks to make sure everything is within the build limits, not sure if there is a height limit but it has to be within the ropes

[@combak2712]

Watching this, I finally realized the use of the study. You can use it with the foyer to make a room within the house. Also, the house REALLY needs a way to add exterior colors, a roof, and GD WINDOWS! That said, based on the restrictions the house currently has on it, I suspect they’re already pushing things give us this.

[@AyaanKazmi-v7v]

I hope that maybe in a dlc they can add a higher room limit and more land . They could also add new rooms. They should add decor for the outside and inside that is more customizable and free.

[@rekc_bcq4816]

I really liked Link’s old house but after BoTW I always thought that it fit best for Link to live in Tarrey Town

[@raygalaxy2717]

It makes sense since he helped establish the whole thing. If anything, he should have been given a plot of land within the town automatically for being one of the main founders. You wouldn't get as great a scenery as the one you paid for, but it would make getting the to defusing gorron without a travel medallion much less of a hassle (assuming a shrine showed up close to the newer hypothetical house).

[@rekc_bcq4816]

[@Rhinogradentian]

If you want to fit as many rooms as you can onto a square central room, my tip is to place them on a corner and have the open part come up against the outside of another room. This way you can have 2 rooms on one side of the square central room. You can also do this with the stairs so that there is not a gap where you jump down onto the stairs. I hope that makes sense. Also, 3-corner small room add-ons are useless unless you want a fun shape. Better to put rooms on corners with the open remainder part up against the outside of another room. If you have rooms sticking out of other places like entryway, stable and study, you can put the open part against those. But this will help you squeeze as many rooms as you can with only 2 square central rooms on 2 floors.
