The Autobuild feature in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a time-saver that lets you construct vehicles in mere moments. Here’s exactly how to get Autobuild in the game.

One of the most exciting features in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the ability to craft an array of vehicles and contraptions using the Ultrahand ability. With everything from airships to boats and cars at his disposal, Link can navigate Hyrule in countless ways.

However, building these transportation methods can be quite time-consuming especially if you need to assemble something in the middle of a tough battle or make a quick getaway. Thankfully, Autobuild is a handy feature that allows players to quickly create their preferred designs. Without further ado, here’s exactly how to get and use Autobuild in Tears of the Kingdom.

The Autobuild ability is very useful in Tears of the Kingdom.

To get the Autobuild ability, you’ll need to head over to the Great Abandoned Central Mine in the Depths, which is located northeast of the Koradat Lightroot. It’s here where you’ll encounter the Steward Construct, who will give you the Autobuild ability.

As the name suggests, Autobuild enables you to instantly recreate your favorite Ultrahand creations, using nearby items and Zonaite. Schema Stones can also be found in the Depths, which show schematics for various devices that you may have yet to create.

While Autobuild is a great option when you’re running low on portable Zonai devices, you’ll need to ensure you have plenty of Zonaite on hand. You can use our best way to farm Zonaite guide to ensure you always have plenty of this resource.

So, there you have it, that’s everything you need to know about getting Autobuild in Tears of the Kingdom. Make sure you check out our Zelda page and read our Tears of the Kingdom review here.
