How to Solve Hudson Sign Puzzles in Tears of the Kingdom
At each location, you’ll find Addison holding a sign with President Hudson’s likeness on it. It is up to you to find a way for the sign to remain standing when Addison lets it go. Most often, you have some objects in the area that you can place under the sign using the Ultrahand ability. Sometimes you will have to construct more complex objects, somewhere it will be a snowball that you need to roll until it is big enough to support…etc.
This mini-game gives you practically unlimited possibilities to be creative. When you have placed support under the sign talk with Addison again and ask him to let go. If the sign stays—congratulations, you did it! But if it falls, no problem—back to the drawing board, and try again.
When you finish successfully supporting each sign, talk again with Addison to receive some rewards—sometimes it’s rupees, sometimes it’s food, sometimes both.
How to get Addison’s Fabric in ToTK
You’ll get Addison’s fabric after fixing all of the Hudson signs. There are 81 signs in total, and after helping this poor enfeebled man all over Hyrule, Addison will be so ecstatic to have spread the legend of Hudson that he’ll hand you his fabric to affix to Link’s glider. It’s a lovely fabric as well, with vivid neon colors that will start to glow at night. Well worth the effort.
You can use Addison’s fabric by visiting Sayge at the Kochi Dye Shop in Hateno Village. Hand him the fabric and, for 20 rupees, he’ll change Link’s glider for you.
