How to get and use Autobuild in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
How to unlock Autobuild
To get the Autobuild ability in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll have to progress further into the Depths/Chasm quest chain. These are the general steps:
- Help Robbie in the Depths to obtain the Purah Pad Camera.
- Upon returning to Lookout Landing, you’re told about underground facilities, where statues point the way.
- Return to the previous location in the Depths (Hyrule Field Chasm), and follow the statues, starting with the one that you took a photo of earlier.
- Eventually, you’ll reach the Great Abandoned Central Mine. Interact with the terminal there and you’ll learn the Autobuild system. However, Master Kohga of the Yiga Clan also shows up to spoil your plans. You can learn how to complete all encounters against this fella in our Master Kohga boss guide.
How does Autobuild work
To use the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Autobuild system, you have to hold the L button and select it. From there, you’ll see various schematics that you’ve learned (usually after beating Kohga in the Depths). Likewise, you’ll notice a history list of things you’ve crafted using the Ultrahand. We’ll get to this tidbit in a while. For now, let’s focus on how this function works.
