Zelda TOTK: Home on Arrange – how to build your own house in Tears of the Kingdom

If you've got the rupees, you can build your own house in TOTK - here's how

Much like Breath of the Wild, you can become the proud owner of your very own house in Tears of the Kingdom. But there’s more to it than just getting a pre-made home – this time, you get to actually build the thing yourself.

If you’re looking for a place to call home or a one-stop shop for crafting, praying, and sleeping, here’s how to start the Home on Arrange quest in TOTK, as well as a list of each room, its cost, and what each of the rooms does.

How to build a house in TOTK

You can make your dream home in Tears of the Kingdom. 

Before you can start the Home on Arrange quest, you have to head over to Tarrey Town and finish the side adventure called Mattison’s Independence. Once that’s done, head over to Hudson’s Construction and speak to Rhondson.

She’ll offer to sell you a plot of land for 1,500 rupees. If you need to make more cash, here’s how to make lots of rupees in TOTK. Or you can do the Tears of the Kingdom item duplication glitch if you want to cheat.

Spend the rupees and the land is yours. Once you’ve kicked things off, you can find your plot slightly north of the Rasitakiwak Shrine (we have a guide for all TOTK shrine locations if you’re stuck).

Here’s an image on the map:

Once you've bought a plot of land in Tears of the Kingdom, head to this map location to start building. 

Once you’ve found your plot, speak to Granteson and he’ll get you started with two rooms: a Bedroom and a Foyer.

Connect these rooms together however you like, as long as they’re within the rope boundaries, and tell him you’re done. Don’t worry too much about placement for now, since you’re free to change things as you see fit.

Once you’ve done that initial placement, you’ll be able to speak to Granteson again and purchase new room modules to connect to your house using Ultrahand.

Here’s a list of the different rooms, their costs, and what they do.
