The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Alright, so you're looking to get your hands on Autobuild in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This is a super handy ability that basically lets you instantly craft machines and contraptions you've already built, using Zonaite as currency. It's a real game-changer for making complex builds without scrambling for every single piece. Let's get you set up with it!

The key to getting Autobuild is venturing into the Depths, that mysterious underground world. If you haven't been down there yet, you'll find entrances via Chasms scattered all over Hyrule. These lead you into the darkness where things can get a bit dicey with tougher enemies and that nasty Gloom.

For the quickest route to Autobuild, you'll want to head for the Great Plateau North Chasm. It's pretty much directly south of Lookout Landing, right as you enter the Great Plateau area. If you're having trouble pinpointing it, activating the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower will help reveal the map, or you can use a map marker if you've found one.

Once you're at the Chasm, take the plunge! Just remember to get your Paraglider out before you hit the ground – nobody wants a flat Link. When you land, immediately head west. You're looking for the Nogukoyk Lightroot. Activating this will light up the immediate area, making navigation much easier.

From the Nogukoyk Lightroot, make your way directly south. You should see a dimly lit structure ahead – that's the Great Abandoned Central Mine, and it's where you'll find Autobuild. Head inside and look for the Researchers who are busy surveying the area.

Chat with the Researchers. They'll mention their vehicles are broken and they're trying to get a Construct working to help fix things. Find the Construct – you'll see a green Ultrahand-like symbol glowing from it. Interact with this symbol to activate it and start the conversation.

The Construct will then teach you Autobuild right then and there! No puzzles, no fights, just a straightforward tutorial. You'll then go through a quick practice session where you'll build a vehicle for the Researchers, and then use Autobuild to instantly create a second one. After this, you'll find out the Researchers are actually Yiga Clan members, and their leader, Master Kohga, will challenge you to a fight. We've got a separate guide for that boss battle if you need it!
