Lucky Clover Gazette Exclusive interview with Hudson (Part 1)
Hudson Construction Company is becoming a household name across Hyrule and there is a chance that it is because your household was built by them. The Lucky Clover Gazette's own Penn got the chance to spend a day with Hudson at his company headquarters just outside of Tarrytown, Akkala.
PENN: "Well Hudson, your company has really seemed to have taken off in the aftermath of the Calamity."
HUDSON: "Well yeah! After I was lucky enough to have met my lovely wife, Rhondson, I struck gold yet again! Anonymous investor chose me to build Tarrytown!"
PENN: "Tarrytown has become a very important economic hub of Hyrule with each race contributing. But tell us about the impact you have had on the booming mechanical industry across our country."
HUDSON: "Of course! When the ruins began to fall-"
PENN: "The Zonai ruins?"
HUDSON: "Yes, the Zonai ruins. Our team found a massive treasure trove of unknown technology. Fascinating things! Wagon wheels that can roll over any terrain! Tiny windmills that run on their own!"
PENN: "Really? Even on a day as quiet as this?"
HUDSON: "Even better."
Hudson walks over to a basic sled boat and taps it. The fan starts whirring and the boat floats towards the middle of the lake. I recoil in astonishment.
PENN: "Astonishing!"
HUDSON: "Isn’t it? Look at this one..."
PENN: "What is it?"
HUDSON: "We call it a 'rocket.'"
Hudson taps the rocket to launch. I drop my goggles down to watch the smoke trail rise up and the explosion of fireworks.
PENN: "This seems dangerous..."
HUDSON: "Only if you're not careful. One guy messed around and set off an entire pile of them. Blew a hole out the gosh darn cliff under Tarrytown!"
PENN: "Is he alright?"
HUDSON: "Oh yes, he's fine. I put him on a much less dangerous task at various work sites across Hyrule."
PENN: "What job is that, exactly?"
HUDSON: "Well we couldn't afford to take on the entire restoration after the damage caused by the calamity. But we did recognize the need for an experienced construction company so we chose to donate the building materials instead of spreading the crew too thin. But we are a business so I told the lad to install signs at each outpost to build brand recognition. Plus this lets the townsfolk rebuild with the local charm that makes them unique.”
PENN: "That sounds simple enough."
HUDSON: “Yes! The ‘Son and Done!’ energy at each site! It makes me feel good knowing that such a positive display of our work can be seen all across Hyrule.”
PENN: “Well when you put it that way, it sounds rather important.”
HUDSON: “It is also significantly less dangerous.”
Hudson and I share a good laugh. While on the topic of engineering, he invited me for lunch back at his house. I graciously accept. I figured I would fly there but he insisted we take the trolly. I was nervous about relying on Zonai tech just minutes after telling me about an explosion but the interview was going well so I played along.
