Biography
Bolson is the president of Bolson Construction, a company that only hires people whose names end in "-son." If Link asks Bolson who he is, he will recite Bolson Construction's signature theme and dance, only to be disappointed by the realization that Link doesn't recognize it.

Bolson initially appears behind the vacant house in Hateno Village, where he is working with Hudson and Karson to demolish it. If Link offers to buy the house instead, Bolson will explain to him that the cost of the operation is 50000 Rupees, which Link would need to pay for in order to stop the demolition. Whether Link agrees to the price or not, Bolson will sympathize with him and decide to lower the price. He offers a revised deal to Link for the house in exchange for 3000 Rupees and 30 bundles of Wood. Afterwards, he orders his crew to cease demolition as they wait under a tree nearby for Link to pay for the house. This initiates the Side Quest "Hylian Homeowner", tasking Link with the responsibility of fulfilling his side of the bargain in exchange for the house.

If Link tells Bolson that he can't afford the cost, Bolson will become angry and lecture to him about the hardships of life. However, if Link presents the 30 bundles of Wood to Bolson, he will accept the offer and conclude that Link is serious about the offer. If Link provides the 3000 Rupees, Bolson will call him "studly," and offer a Weapon Mount as a housewarming gift. Bolson then tells Link to speak to Hudson before he leaves to carry out a business expansion in Akkala.

After Hudson leaves to establish Tarrey Town, Bolson will offer to furnish Link's house for 100 Rupees per refurbishment. Link can request various additions to his house, such as Weapon Mounts, Bow Mounts and Shield Mounts, as well as a Bed, lighting and a front door. Link can also request that Bolson decorates the property surrounding his house, adding a Sign with Link's name, a flower bed and trees.

Once Link has fully decorated his property, Bolson will call him a "housing monster" and leave additional furniture inside Link's House before taking a break. If spoken to again, Bolson will declare the house to be perfect and bring Link's attention to Hudson once more, wondering how the Bolson Construction expansion is coming along.

Starting at 9:05 PM each night, Bolson and Karson will cross the bridge over Firly Pond and sleep inside one of the pre-constructed homes. There, he will recite Bolson Construction's theme in his sleep.
