The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom features a lot of random and weird side quests for the players to complete. While returning from the Hyrule castle, you will encounter an NPC named Addison for the first time in the game. He is an employee of Hudson Construction, who has been tasked with installing signs of President Hudson all over Hyrule to inform everyone about the Hyrule reconstruction project. However, when you first meet Addison, you will see him struggling to hold up the sign of his beloved President in its place.
You can help Addison fix the sign in its place by solving a simple puzzle. Solving this puzzle will reward you with rewards like Rupee, Veggie Rice Balls, or a Sleepover Coupon whenever you help Addison. You can find the signs of the President at nine locations around Hyrule, where Addison can always be seen struggling in the same way.

Hudson Sign Locations
Hyrule is a big map with many towers to explore by the players. While exploring Hyrule, you will find Addison in several locations where he will be seen trying to fix the Hudson sign with proper support. You can find Hudson signs in the following locations around Hyrule.
- Hyrule Castle Town Ruins.
- Quarry Ruins.
- Between Ludfo's Bog and Breach of Demise.
- South of Salari Hill.
- West of Goron Hot Springs.
- Between Parache Plains and Papetto Grove.
- East of Mount Granajh.
- Between Bloodleaf Lake and North Akkala Beach.
- South of Pikida Stonegrove.
How To Support Hudson Signs
If you have come to this stage, you must already know about the Ultrahand ability. Using this ability is the key to helping Addison and fixing all the President Hudson signs with proper support. Because of the Hyrule reconstruction project, Hudson Construction has provided the necessary equipment to its employees around different parts of Hyrule. If you find Addison, you will also find the necessary objects around you.
In order to start the side quest, you need to interact with Addison, who will then explain his problem to you. To help Addison, use your Ultrahand ability to combine the objects kept around you to build a supporting structure that will hold the Hudson sign.
You can create any structure you want and still get the task completed as long as it succeeds in holding the sign. However, the structures will be different based on the location of the sign that you are trying to fix. Some signs seem tough to fix with support and require the use of some of your creativity. Again some might just require placing a single plank under the sign. Once the sign is fixed in its place, select the "Let Go" option. If the sign manages to stay in its place without falling on the ground, the task will be completed, and Addison will give you the rewards.
Rewards For Helping Addison
As Addison can be found in several locations around Hyrule, you will get rewards each time you help him create support for the Hudson signs. As a token of appreciation for making his beloved President Hudson stand firmly and proudly, Addison will reward you with gifts from the following:
- Red Rupee
- Sleepover Coupon
- Bomb Flower
- Biting Meaty Rice Balls
- Spicy Mushroom Rice Balls
- Puffshroom
- Veggie Rice Balls
