Karson
Karson is a character in Breath of the Wild.[2]
Biography
Karson is an employee of Bolson Construction in East Necluda.[3] He can initially be found attempting to demolish Link's House in Hateno Village.[4] He tells Link that the former owner of the house left to serve at Hyrule Castle and never returned,[5] so he is carrying out the Village's collective decision to clear the land for development. If Link offers to buy the house, Karson will direct him to his boss, Bolson.[6]
Karson will admit to Link that he was hired by Bolson Construction thanks to his name ending in "-son," a requirement for all employees of the company.[7] This inadvertently provides a hint for the Side Quest "From the Ground Up", a Quest to build the population of Tarrey Town in Akkala.[8]
If Link offers to buy the house from Bolson, Karson will cease work on the house and sit underneath a tree nearby, awaiting Bolson's orders.[9] There, he will admit to Link that he finds his construction work to be hard and he idolizes Hudson's ability to work quickly.[10] He also expresses surprise at Link's initiative to purchase a house at his age.[11] Upon the complete purchase of the house, Karson will begin to renovate the house alongside Bolson for a fee of 100 Rupees per addition.
Trivia
Nomenclature
