Addison is one of the standout new characters in Tears of the Kingdom. An employee of Hudson Construction, which is based in Tarrey Town, Addison's job is to put up signs across Hyrule to promote the great President of the company, Hudson.
The problem is, Addison isn't very good at his job. Throughout your adventure, you'll spot Addison helplessly trying to put up signs in a variety of locations. And you'll need to help him.
We have a list of all Hudson Sign locations throughout Hyrule along with maps, as well as tips on how to prop them up, and what your reward is for putting all the signs up
On this page: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom: All Hudson Sign Locations - How To Support Addison
How many signs are there?
There are 81 Hudson Construction signs that you need to prop up across Hyrule. That means Addison can be found in 81 different locations.
These are only found on the surface of Hyrule, so you won't find Hudson's advertisements in the Sky or the Depths, luckily.

How to support the Hudson Signs
When you find Hudson during your adventures around Hyrule, he will usually be next to a pile of materials — such as wooden plants, beams, boulders, metal sheets, or similar.
Every single sign you come across will be a slightly different shape — some will have two or three signs on them, while others will be propped up on a slope. You need to use the terrain, materials, and the sign's shape to figure out how to prop the signs up.
Using Ultrahand, grab the materials you want to use and put them together in whatever way you think will help. Then, you will need to push it up against the sign. You and put your structure underneath, in front, or on either side of the sign.
Once you are satisfied, talk to Addison and tell him to let go of the sign. He will, and if it stays upright, you'll get rewards — rupees, a food item, and a random free gift such as sleepover tickets or flower bombs.
Note: When Addison lets go of the sign, it does not need to be perfectly upright — just upright enough. This is hard to judge, but basically, it can tilt forward or to the side a little bit. So don't aim for perfection.
What is the reward for putting up all Hudson Signs?
Finding all 81 Hudson Construction signs is time-consuming, but the reward is worth it.
Once you have helped Addison for the 81st time, he will give you an extra reward — Addison's Fabric for your paraglider.

Unless it was a pun, he's certainly not a standout character... He's just as annoying as the rest of the game. And, to solve 90% of his sign problems, you just need to make an L put of two flat pieces of wood and prop it against his sign. It should hold each and every time. Easy, lame, and part of a terrible game.
I enjoyed these the first few times, and then again when there were limited materials or a weird layout so the most typical solutions wouldn't work. But the rewards quickly became crap; I have about 30 stable tickets, and the food just clogged up my inventory. I might consider doing them all if there was a way to track them, just because I'm crazy like that. But the only thing worse than fabric as a reward is useless trophy "key items."
Addison can stand there for all eternity for all I care. I'm not helping him. He's supposed to be a builder!! And he can't even build a simple sign. He's a disgrace to the Bolson lineage. Absolutely pathetic.
SUPER IMPORTANT: If you go by the green Addison logos in the categories above, be aware that Faron has 6 logos, but 7 descriptions. I spent hours rechecking before I realized this. NL folks, please update the Faron picture above. Thanks!
@mjmrad ty for the warning. Still 6 logos.
"East of Mount Granajh and South Lomei Labyrinth of a cliffside overlooking the Oseira Plains.". #4 is west of Oshokin shrine and is the one not showing.
@mjmrad @3DprintingRULES apologies for missing this! We've updated the map now. Thank you for pointing it out
@AlanaHagues This is still missing on the detailed Faron map. Wish I had read the comments sooner, spent way too long trying to pinpoint which one I was missing when I ultimately switched to the Zelda Dungeon interactive map. Came back here to confirm if I was crazy and it is infact missing something on the Faron map.
@kyliedoscope Appreciate the heads up! I have no idea what happened there - perhaps we forgot to hit the save button? 😅 The corrected map should be showing now.
