Best House Designs in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom (TotK)

Link’s home from Breath of the Wild has mysteriously become Zelda’s home, leaving you with an opportunity to build your own place. Here are some of the best house designs in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Home on the Range

This beautiful home in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is created by chesepuf on Reddit and shown in a video starts off with dual stables out front and stairs to the upper level next to the front door. Once inside, you see a wonderful use of the triangle room to create space between the different furnished rooms. The bottom level has all the cozy spaces like the bedroom and kitchen, while the upper level has a weapons room and gives some outdoor space with a beautiful exterior water feature overlooking the hills in Tarrey Town.

Relaxation Station

What lands this beauty on my best house designs in TotK list is the exterior of this home has a really unique and beautiful shape that works even better on the inside. In the video on Reddit, ShokaLGBT separates their relaxation from their business with their home design. As you enter you see the weapons and shields rooms on the left and kitchen on the right so you can grab what you need or cook up some meals while you take a break from exploring. Up the stairs gives a very different, peaceful feel with a bedroom and prayer space combined together with a triangle room.

Room with a View

While we don’t get to see the full extent of this home, the way IronKnuckleSX on Reddit has created windows here where there aren’t any surprised me. In their post, they stated by using stables on the upper level and connecting it to the interior rooms, you get the illusion of windows. The stables don’t feature the same walls as the rooms intended for inside the home and open it up nicely.

Rooftop Patio

Another unique solution to the no-window problem is this adorable outdoor patio created by pepperedbeans on Reddit. The stairs on the outside lead up to an open-air section of the home that overlooks Terry Town. The location of the stairs also adds a great balance to the home exterior with the stable on the opposing side of the house.

The Secret Room

Seeing as Zelda took your house and created a secret room, you may as well create a secret room of your own. Illustrious_Flower96 on Reddit built a gorgeous hidden space, only accessible through the ascend function. In the main areas, you have all the expected rooms, but when you go to the second floor you can ascend to Link’s stash of weapons and shields. Since your home is right next to a shrine, getting out and back to your home easily is just a hop, skip, and a jump — maybe a little paraglide if you’d like.

How to Build a House in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

To build a house in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, you must complete Mattison’s Independence side adventure in Tarrey Town. When you reach Tarrey Town, speak to Hudson and then his daughter.

Next, follow Hudson and speak to him by the entrance of Tarrey Town; he will go on about how he is sad he has to send his daughter to Gerudo Town. After you exhaust the dialogue, head into Hudson’s house and go up the stairs to speak to Mattison.

Follow Mattison into town and complete her quick quiz (the answer is Vaba!). Mattison will take the lift down, and you must follow her down to the building site and speak to Hudson again. Hudson will ask you to find 10 Sundelions.

Players can easily find Sundelions on any sky platform. I had great luck finding Sundelions directly above Tarrey Town, so use the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower and fly over to platforms above the town.

After giving 10 Sundelions to Hudson, you will have completed Mattison’s Independence side story and can now start building a house. Head to Hudson and Rhondson’s house and purchase a plot of land from them for 1,500 Rupees.

You can easily find your plot of land next to the Rasitakiwak Shrine.
