If you've spent time exploring Hyrule, you've probably encountered Addison and his never-ending struggle to keep Hudson Construction signs standing upright.
Now that iconic challenge has been transformed into a remarkable mechanical puzzle.
Created through a special collaboration between Hanayama and The Legend of Zelda, Addison's Sign is a beautifully crafted cast metal puzzle that turns one of the game's most memorable side quests into a real-world test of ingenuity, balance, and structural reasoning.
Designed by renowned puzzle creator Vesa Timonen, this expert-level challenge asks a deceptively simple question:
Can you keep the sign standing?
The Challenge
The puzzle consists of the famous Hudson Construction sign and four individual metal rods.
The sign cannot stand on its own.
Your objective is to use the rods together with the sign to create a stable, self-supporting structure capable of standing upright without assistance.
There are no hidden compartments or secret mechanisms to discover. Success depends entirely on understanding balance, weight distribution, geometry, and structural support.
Simple in concept.
Surprisingly difficult in execution.
