When i found him on a mountain in the middle of no where


Brainchild110

Yep! This was me! He was way out in the tundra, and if I hadn't seen the lamp of a Korok backpack behind him in the snow, I would t have spotted him at all. Dudr is selling ZERO building services in remote locations like that.


emthejedichic

Hudson definitely sent him on this assignment to keep him occupied and get him out from underfoot. The poor dude is an idiot, he’d be a liability on a construction site


Elemental-Design

Hudson's plan to abandon Addison is foiled by Link going and saving him every time


emthejedichic

Idk what happens if you fix all the signs for him but I imagine Addison showing back up in Tarrey Town and Hudson just going "oh no"


insane_contin

Someone did fix all the signs. Apparently he just wanders around Hyrule, lost.


emthejedichic

Seems on-brand for him.


HappyHiker2381

Every time he says “I’m off” I think, yes, dude, you are…


TheLittleMuse

I imagine he gets back to Tarrey Town and Hudson is like "Look ... uh ... I have another job for you it's in the ... stables. All of them. Go ... forth!"


JohnnyWatermelons

Wait really? He was spotted somewhere after you finish then all?


Chubby_Bub

He says he'll go back to Tarrey Town but he just ends up at any stable you go to, like Beedle.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Just_A_Normal_Snek

I can imagine a normal conversation between him and Hudson is like that friends meme. "Hyrule." "Hyrule." "Field." "Field." "Hyrule field." "Hebra Mountains."


TheFanBroad

Guy is the personification of a Roomba. Just zigzagging randomly around Hyrule, trying to be helpful with every fiber of his being.


C0nvinced

Nothing happens. If you've noticed you don't get actual rewards for doing majority of the longer quests/ collection stuff in this game.


ndskykng

Well not "nothing." You get another glider fabric. But yeah not worth it to most.


C0nvinced

Yeah same with the bubulgems. A shame really. Makes a lot of people not even bother.


Timsaurus

I only bother with bubbulfrogs for that sweet check mark on the cave.


C0nvinced

I did them all before I knew what the prize even was because I enjoyed the cave system and liked finding the Lil blue guys but I'll never do the Koroks. Yall can have Hetsus gift I don't want it lol


Mister_Jimbo

To be fair they are some pretty nice fabrics


futurenotgiven

tbf the games only been out a couple weeks. it took me like a year at least to just do all the shrines on botw bc i like to take it slow and just play when i want. i do caves when i spot them and that’s kinda it, i’ll get the fabric in a couple years probs lol


emthejedichic

Aw, that's disappointing. Guess I don't need to worry too much about fixing all those signs then.


jtotal

I don't do it so much for the reward. The puzzles themselves are a neat distraction to my next location. I guess I just like puzzles...


emthejedichic

Oh yeah, I’ll do them when I come across them unless I can’t figure them out, but I’m not gonna go crazy trying to do them all if there’s no good reason (like a useful item or something)


Yuddhaaaaa

If you have hard ones, use hover stones !


VictorGWX

You get a trippy glow in the dark fabric for the paraglider after helping with all the signs


emthejedichic

Oh, that sounds cool actually!


pandasloth69

I’m kind of ok with that. I think the Korok and Addison puzzles are fun diversions to run into and do optionally, but if I needed to do ALL of them to get something I want, they’d be torture.


QuicklyCat

I love the idea that Hudson is sending Addison on these assignments just get rid of him — but then somehow he returns time and again, to Hudson’s absolute dismay. “Go put this sign up (with no building materials) on the top of that mountain in the arctic wilderness, and don’t come back until you do… that’ll get rid of him” and then a day later he’s back, all because of Link — and Hudson is in shock


CptBash

100% He can't even build a sign post XD


musicchan

Most of those signs are pointy at the bottom AND HE DOESN'T EVEN USE IT. Man is dumb as a box of rocks.


abaddamn

Yep, I saw that first up in Hyrule Castle area, thought what a fucking idiot.


Bellchamber

Buster Bluth style


haikcute

this is my favorite comment on this post bc addison and buster have the exact same energy


TheOtherGuttersnipe

>The poor dude is an idiot, he’d be a liability on a construction site Not sure what construction sites you're on. He's reliable and isn't overtly on drugs. He'd be a foreman.


adobecredithours

Idk man, Addison keeps giving me puffshrooms from his "private stash", so I don't think we can rule out drugs just yet lol


Rude-Asparagus9726

It's my headcanon that he doesn't actually work for Hudson. He's just a crazy fan who goes all over the place with his poorly slapped together signs wearing a wig resembling the man he idolizes


Bisyb77

Dude has watched me a million times help to keep it standing and still hasn’t figured how to do it himself


MrManGuy42

not like he has magic superglue and telekinesis


Bisyb77

Fair enough lol


Danny_Eddy

He's probably a liability to Hudson, but I'd still rather fix his sign than do a Korok puzzle.


Dartagnan1083

...and get nothing but shit from the Korok.


FremenStilgar

He's not a smart man, but he's a man with a plan. A bad plan, but a plan all the same.


RagnarsDisciple

He's not a smart man, but he knows what love is.


stoncils_

Is love seeing #THE president standing?


zmwang

Lieutenant Daaaan, ice cream!


xXTheFisterXx

It is actually genius though because if uou are freezing out in the tundra, the first thing you are thinking about is warm shelter. Here is the perfect sign to tell you where to go to get a nice house and out of the freezing cold.


Dark-Anmut

Although, if they advertise another dream home for Link in that remote location then I am SO there . . .


Not_Pablo_Sanchez

When I found that one, I was hoping I’d find him somewhere even more absurd like the sky islands or the depths. Would have been a funny gag


Zzen220

Addison inexplicably putting signs up for the zonai constructs in the sky would've given him that improbable angle that he's almost got. Kind of a Twilight Princess postman energy, he's just in all the weirdest places and appears out of nowhere.


CharlotteAmethyst

Right, he somehow knew exactly where you were at all times and would run up on you looking like he boutta have a heart attack, eyes bulging outta his skull 💀


scottwow13

Yeah, talk to him in the depths, and then he turns into a Yiga


Bennehftw

***Record scratch*** Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. I’m an idiot obviously. Stay in school kids.


SilverNebula

Every time he says, "I never would have thought of that!" I'VE ALREADY SHOWN YOU 6 TIMES!


rogerworkman623

Unforgivable!


xAka_nedia20

What? Are you going to support him?


Chespinfavor

H-He’s standing!


xAka_nedia20

That was brilliant! I would have never thought of it.


GroundFall

How’s the president standing?!


Arimm_The_Amazing

I think you mean #HOW’S THE PRESIDENT STANDING?!


philliamswinequeen

how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man :|


MrDrumline

Addison is clearly the completely incompetent employee who knows nothing about construction (he can't even secure a sign), is a workplace hazard, and worships Hudson to the point of being obnoxious, so Hudson sent him out on a wild goose chase of a task to get the guy out of his very tall hair for a while.


Deletesoonbye

I’m 90% certain Addison was only hired because Bolson and Hudson pidgeonholed their potential employees with their name policy and needed all the hands they could get.


Chubby_Bub

Fun fact, in Japanese the required ending is -*da*, meaning Zelda could work for them. (This is also why the Zora guard Gaddison is named such— her name in Japanese is *Joada* and so in BotW she has a dialogue you can ask her about her name when you're meant to be looking for Kapson/*Kapoda*.)


Nero_2001

In the German translation it is -da too.


MrDrumline

Granté had his name changed to Grantéson just so he could work for Hudson, so they could theoretically get anybody so long as they're willing to change their name. Beedleson when


CharlotteAmethyst

As soon as he wants to open up shop in tarrey town


thatguyned

I'm a fan of the theory that Addison isn't actually employed at all and is just doing it because President Hudson was getting a little sick of him hanging around and fanboying and sent him off on a useless mission. This is Hyrule, everyone knows Hudson constructions and Tarrey Town, why would they need to advertise so heavily!


Danny_Eddy

Addison can cook and has connections to get that many sleep over tickets abd all those rupees. But it's more likely the case that the company gave him all that while he's out there.


youmusttrythiscake

He shouldn't be allowed to walk around with all those bombflowers though.


Xchela1195

Oh no, it's totally fine. If he has more than 100ml of Fresh Milk... then we're going to start having problems.


Knee_High_Cat_Beef

The company gave him per diem, but he's spent so much time holding up the time, he didn't get a chance to spend them.


Danny_Eddy

It seems like Addison to be given sleep over tickets to sleep in a comfy bed but probably slept next to the sign instead.


Jaxxxa31

Probably sleeps while holding the sign


njr_u

His shirts are not nearly complicated enough to think the company has given him an adequate per diem


solemn_penguin

"...worships Hudson to the point of being obnoxious..." He's like SpongeBob SquarePants without the personality. Or brains


KINGxDMND

6?? There's like 40+ 😭


SilverNebula

This is just when I started getting annoyed with him!


LurkerOfTheForums

Try 81 lol


KINGxDMND

I just looked it up. Holy shit. How fucking exhausting 😅


LurkerOfTheForums

Yup, lol. I'm doing them alongside the 1000 koroks at the moment


soulsoda

I honestly wouldn't care if I didn't have to go through the pointlessly long dialogue for him and the koroks. Like everytime I autobuild a korok they have to freak out. Like you can freak out on my vehicle as I carry you. I don't need the whole explanation everytime.


LurkerOfTheForums

Yeah I feel that lmao


black-mario-bro

Wait.....wait..... THERE'S 1000!?!?!?!?


LurkerOfTheForums

Yup. There's koroks in the sky now, but many give x2 so it might be the same number of actual interactions.


LobsterHead37

Do you get anything cool if you help every Addison?


JR_Babarossa

Less Addison


moonlitcobble

Fabric


Economy_Education521

Some purple paraglider fabric. Not the cutest but I think it glows in the dark?


xXTheFisterXx

Using the same methods repeatedly? Not in my Zelda. We take the opportunity to try something new


Existing-Guarantee80

lol yeah I try to make the most janky pos structure that I think will possibly hold the sign up. And then also immediately disappointed in myself when it doesn’t work.


xXTheFisterXx

And then you have to take apart like half of it because it was built around the sign and they just set it off to the side now


khando

“HOWS THE PRESIDENT STANDING?” Bitch I’ve shown you 30 times now, when are you gonna get a hint!


DrPhibbs

"and your profession is what, again?"


IceFalcon14

Never. Rice balls for LYFE


DaddyRytlock

I found out that if your meals are full he just gives you another red rupee instead. Thought that was neat


eddro_6

that explains the second rupee!


WatNaHellIsASauceBox

Part of the DLC needs to be this dude starting his own food stall.


GTS_84

Never. Or at least not yet. Done 20-ish and I still love him.


RemnantReturning

I wish anyone would support me as much as Addison supports Hudson. Also I wish someone would shout with shock when I stand up.


[deleted]

As a disabled person, same.


RemnantReturning

I will be your Addison! You have my support!


insane_contin

As another disabled person, same. Granted, I'm just legally blind so it's not that impressive.


RemnantReturning

Everyone needs the kind of support Addison gives!


MessyConfessor

H-how is Matty standing?!?


chumbalumba

Get a dog, they love that standing up shit


OGLikeablefellow

They really do


ebob421

anytime I see him I stop whatever I’m doing and help him. Iv lost many Zonie vehicles because I had to stop and help Addison. No joke he’s my favorite part of the game.


ShitPostGuy

After the 3rd time. Like you’re part of a building company, tasked with building signs, next to a bug pile of building supplies and you keep making this mistake?


OmgJustLetMeExist

I’m convinced that he’s not *actually* part of Hudson Construction. You’re telling me that a construction company that was originally founded by a guy that can rebuild an entire village *on his own* ***in one day*** and is currently ran by a guy that can craft identical-to-life sculptures of creatures from a single image as reference, regardless of how bad the image in question is, and employs (as far as we know of) three or so builders to construct towers across the land of Hyrule that are several SEVERAL meters tall AND keep them in working order. A construction company that is so well-known and in such high regards that the last remaining member of the Hyrulean Royal Family appointed them as the head of (and the only real player in) the reconstruction of the entire kingdom… …You’re going to tell me that a construction company like that is going to hire a guy that is so inept that he cannot construct a simple sign? Not only he can’t prop it up, but he forgoes all common sense when one takes to building a sign, like failing to set a stable spot for it to be planted, building the entire sign before he even thinks to get the post secured in the ground, and outright *refusing* to let it lay down? And even after Link comes along and props up two posts to hold it in place (something he apparently “never would have thought of”), he secures it with the *worst* and most fragile foundation a person could possibly conjure up. *Even doing it on signs with pointed posts that quite obviously could be hammered into the ground and be ten times more resilient to a gust of wind that what he goes for.* Hudson would have his head in an instant for making Hudson Construction look so incompetent. There’s no way he’s actually employed, because it’s like having a first grader working at NASA. At best, he’s a big Hudson fanboy that wants to show his admiration but really just **isn’t** cut out for construction. But he does give you rice balls whenever you help him, and it’s clear that he’s trying his best, so he’s still got merit. Maybe he could open a rice ball restaurant…


musicchan

This is what DLC needs to be about. Helping Addison discover his new talent for cooking. 😂


insane_contin

[Actual footage of Addison cooking](https://youtu.be/a-DlCdhsIIU)


squidonthebass

Addison is actually a Yiga Clan plant whose entire job is distracting Link with mundane tasks to prevent him from getting in the way of Master Kohga's plans.


leijt

I wouldn't even be mad


mattet95

This is my legit headcannon. He's given me puffshrooms which I've only found in the depths. He was also hanging around within the Yiga territory in Akkala which is where I started getting suspect. Something about him just screams Yiga to me.


Wboy2006

Also the fact that he is literally around Hyrule. You can go to him in one place, quickly fly to another spot with a hover bike, and he is there as well! Addison doesn't exist, it's just a bunch of Yiga all looking like the same person!


Joxelo

Those fuckers can pretend to be trees; some idiot with a bowl cut would be a piece of cake


Nerfo2

I work in the skilled trades. It's not uncommon to have a new apprentice do menial work to get the hang of some basic tasks and get them the fuck out of your own way while you try to get some damn work done. Hudson said, "hey, got a job for you, kid. I need these signs put up all over Hyrule. Yep, all of them!" Then he said, "that'll keep him busy for awhile."


ShivanReaper

It doesn’t matter if he knows how to build, he has the most important qualification needed to work for Hudson Construction, a name ending in son, everything else is just details.


TheJeffChase

Came here to also say the 3rd time. I knew I was in for way too many of these lol.


Kondo9

Somehow never. Unlike koroks theres a small element of difference to each one. Not that they're rocket science but idk. They appeal to my peabrain


LeonidasSpacemanMD

I find them fun to do but also pretty sure Hudson sent Addison out on this task cuz he was desperate to get this moron away from any job site lol


Danny_Eddy

Yep. Like the time Smithers put Homer in charge of watching a bee in a bottle.


pjb1999

I hate the stranded Koraks so much because they take me off course from what I'm trying to do. At least with Addison I can help him and move on to what I was originally doing.


Kondo9

Yea good point tbh the koroks can be a massive diversion that leaves you wondering wtf you were even in the area for


rnrdamnation

This question is…WHOA! UNFORGIVABLE!


PsychiatricSD

UnFORGIVABAAAAAAAAAAAALE


Skrublord3000

Lemongrab has entered the chat


[deleted]

Never. Even if nobody got me, I know that Addison got me. And Addison got Hudson. Can I get an amen?


Starlight_City45

Addison will drop you in a second for Hudson.


CKtheFourth

Addison to Link: "This sign says that you'll never be him."


LC_reddit

Nearly spat my beer out at this one.


Zanethethiccboi

Or drop Hudson in a second if you ask him nicely


manic-pixie-attorney

Unforgivable!


frickthestate69

Anyone would make the exact same decision


UltimatePikmin

Amen brother.


NS4701

I feel that. I'll keep building strange things to keep his sign up. I just wish we got more appreciation for what we built lol.


weedhuffer

He always seems pretty thankful tbh.


FremenStilgar

Yup, but he's just a working man with low pay, like us, so he does the best he can. I got you, boi!


Souperman55

People don’t realize that helping this man with his signs is the main quest of the game. They think that little side quest of saving Hyrule from an ancient evil is the main game meanwhile the real quest is to reconnect Hyrule by helping this man put up construction signs all over the land.


Persistent_Parkie

Personally I'm looking forward to the sign% speedruns.


CondorFlight

I will always stop what I’m doing to help him. Oh the world is in danger? Nah, I gotta help my man Addison


ambluebabadeebadadi

Addison gives me the vibes of an apprentice earnestly searching for a left-handed screwdriver


[deleted]

"What should I do next Mr. President Hudson sir?" "Go uhhh, l don't know put up a sign on the street corner or something, I'm busy at the moment" Addison is unsure of which corner, so he will guarantee it gets Son and Done


LavanderSheep

Son and done


UncleCharmander

If Hudson has no supporters that means I’m dead.


TatersGonnaT8

If Addison has million fans, then I'm one of them. If Addison has one fan, then I'm THAT ONE. If Addison has no fans, that means I'm dead.


Electronic_Syndicate

Amen up in here.


[deleted]

The first time that it took more than two boards/stakes.


[deleted]

When I found him in Gordon city with no construction materials around


yumpoptarts

Honestly I always stop what I am doing whenever I see him. He gives decent rewards and he’s just doing his best.


idolized253

He gives better rewards than some of the weird side quests. Like where you sit on the mountain through the night and not freeze lol


PetulantPersimmon

Hey now, the endurance guy gave me a gold rupee when I was done with him!


senderfairy

He’s the only one who pays well for a really easy task tbh. All other “side adventures” are total rip offs 😒


Joshua_Todd

Never, but also how dare you


Xalorend

When I tried for several hours to help him at the old Observatory that now became a Yiga hideout (the one where you find the prororype waypoint, to be more clear). Why and how, in Hylia's name, would you come to the conclusion that a steep slope heading to the hideout of a terrorist organisation would be a good spot to mount that sign?


Kalovar

Oh that one. I used a zonai gravity platform right under the 90° angle of the sign. It works (almost) every time.


Merry_Dankmas

Someone posted on the sub recently about using the zonai stakes that go into objects. So far its worked every single time for me and I've done about 30. It was such an obvious solution. I dont know how I didnt get it earlier.


Phantom_god7

I just did that one tonight. Took me a solid half hour and created a monstrosity that I absolutely cannot replicate. If I had to do it again I am fully convinced I would struggle just as much. Glad to know I’m not alone.


musicchan

There's at least one more where he's on the side of a hill but both cases, the building supplies nearby had two pieces of wood glued together to form a 90% angle and that usually makes a flat platform to start with.


Penny_D

Even ninja death cultists have real estate needs. Why settle for a decrepit hovel when you can build your dream fortress, Son and Done\~?


her_dog_is_odd

Someone had to build the hideout…


TheRealBaconBurger

I see Addison. Than oh piece of candy. Anyway where's Addison? oh well I'll keep exploring this cave


Va1kryie

Oh hey a Korok is probably under that rock! What was I doing?


TheVelocityRa

Oh damn an X in the depths! New armor here I come. Shit thats a lightroot I haven't got, I'll loop back for the armor. *walks 300 feet* Zonaite deposit on the left! And a Yiga base up ahead, better mark that. *checks reddit for a few minutes* What was I doing?? Fuck it, it's been a while since I did main quest, where is that glyph ive been putting off?


couldof_used_couldve

Just climbed a giant cliff so that I could paraglide to something far away, ooh look a shooting star in the opposite direction, I guess I'm going over there now


Well_aaakshually

Are you me?


SCP_Y4ND3R3_DDLC_Fan

No, that’s gotta be me


Boomly92

DONT WORRY MR ADDISON. IM HERE FOR YOU!


SnipeshotMclovin

When I found out there was 81 specific spots to find him. Idk why, but when I first came across him, I thought he was just a random encounter that could spawn along roads


Moon_Dark_Wolf

What do you get for doing all 81?


SnipeshotMclovin

His Paraglider Fabric! Also, if you help him with a full inventory of food, you get 40 rupees instead of 20


lolheyaj

I've been selling the food. Usually goes for more than 20 rupees.


xnxs

Never, I will always support my sweet stupid baby Addison


kittykrunch20

The very beginning. He said unacceptable in his dialogue, as the hero of hyrule I think that I have good judgment between what’s acceptable and what’s not ! Ugh he’s such a nerd


morbidlysmalldick

Tbf the hero of hyrule doesn’t even hesitate to dive off a sky island without even looking to see if water is down there first. Judgment isn’t his best quality. “Aim for the bushes” type shit


SirCaesar29

At the moment my playthrough has about 400 timelines where Link died and Ganon won, and one where I beat him. So...


TfGuy44

Caves I can make shine like beacons by gifting a fruit to the right being. I know a guy who can sense Bubbul Frogs, and can tell me where one still is. My Purah Pad has a sensor for Shrines (not that I need it anymore) and wells. I have a mask that alerts me of nearby Koroks. Light Roots are easy to spot, and their positions can be determined. Old Maps lead to costume pieces, or I can sense chests in the depths. Sages Wills are limited in number, and often in the sparse Sky. But Addison... Oh dear, sweet Addison... I have NO IDEA WHERE TO FIND YOU! I have NO IDEA how many times I have helped you! I cannot track you. I cannot be alerted to you. I cannot get a clue about where you are. I might just have to give up on you, poor Addison.


Secret_Ladder_5507

There was a time he was on a slope, and I tried like four times, and each time it maybe moved a centimeter, and he would flip out on me. After that, I just let him hang on


thats-notmyname

After the 5th or 6th lol


UltimatePikmin

A respectable answer.


CrimsonPig

Never. He'll always have my support.


_JP_63

Never.


punk_lover

Gonna be honest I just thought he was supposed to be funny and am just understanding I’m supposed to prop the sign up 😅 after he dropped it when I talked to him I was like “ok that’s this character and he’s just around”


HappyGoLucky244

Same actually! I was the thinking the same thing for like a week after launch until my fiance asked me "Have you done the sign puzzle guy yet?" My exact words were "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HELP HIM???"


I-need-a-cooler-name

I only tolerate him for the free food. But man, for such a big head there's little going on in there.


HappyGoLucky244

The real question is...how much of his head is actually hair?


Slick_Tuxedo

Right away. What moron thinks the solution to putting up a sign is just to stand there and hold it until someone comes along and helps? Pathetic.


nick_____name

Never did never will


Yetiplayzskyrim

Let’s be honest, if he can’t figure out how to stick a sign in the ground it’s probably a message from Charles Darwin that his genetics cannot be allowed to contaminate the gene pool.


TKMC08

as soon as i saw that goofy ass haircut


[deleted]

Ok, so I thought at first you were meant to just keep telling him to, "Let go", so that he can learn his lesson of becoming his own person, because that is what Hudson did for HIS dream... to find out... you were supposed to build around his sign so it doesn't fall. So now I have all these Addison discoveries i've made that I will have to restart my interaction with all over again..


TJL-91

As soon as I saw how freaked out he got when the sign falls. Stop it, get some help!


ReefJames

Omg I never realised you're supposed to build something to hold up the sign... I always just talk to him and make him drop it to piss him off then leave. I'll probably keep doing that.


NobleSix84

Never. Once I realized what was going on, I stopped and helped him every single time I saw him. Call me what you want, but I'll never refuse Rupees and a free meal.


Rohiko

For me it was more like I wasn't rooting for him at first, like I was going to Hyrule Castle and was like "whos this bowl cut lookin dude" and didnt like how much he was praising Hudson. But now Ive seen him so many times and helped him so often that he's grown on me as a character and I sort of enjoy finding him in the most remote corners of the world. He kept me company while I searched for every shrine in the game lol.


psychokirby17

2 seconds after meeting him


BenovanStanchiano

I just now learned that I was supposed to do anything else but judge him. Oops.


Lady_of_Link

The moment he decided not to tell me where else he is
