How to solve the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom construct factory puzzle

The Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom construct puzzle has several stages you need to complete to finish the quest, and we’re here to break it all down.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom construct factory - a large mech stands in front of a massive white door

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s construct factory is a dungeon that you have to visit on your journey through Hyrule. Not to worry, you can’t exactly miss it as you come here during a main quest, Guidance from Ages Past. However, you might find it to be a bit of a noodle scratcher, especially as you need to assemble a giant robot by creating its arms and legs. Yes, it sounds like a lot of work, but, you know, giant mechs are fun.

Not to worry if you’re not ready for this quite yet, you can keep exploring with our Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom lynel locations, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom armor locations, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom zonaite, and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Pyper guides. Or, for some help on specific missions, we have an article on the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom six dragons quest to help you out.

Anyway, onto our Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom construct factory guide.
