Heart Piece Locations
Heart Pieces are found or rewarded when you do something. Some require a great deal of time and rupees. 4 Heart Pieces make up 1 container, which is added to your Health Meter. In this game there are 52 heart pieces to make 14 heart containers. Added to the 3 heart containers you start with and 4 heart containers from the bosses in the dungeons, you're left with 20 hearts in your health meter. Here are the pieces, where to find them, what to do and what you need to get it:
Clock Town:
1) In North Clock Town, when you're back to being human Link, climb the box near the slide that you can reach. Carefully jump to another box, then over to the top of the slide. Turn and jump onto one last platform, then into the tree for the piece.
2) In East Clock Town, give the Bomber the password to enter the hideout. Go to the Astral Observatory and say yes to look in the telescope. Move it up and zoom in to the top of the Clock Tower to see Skull Kid. After you're finished there, go out the door and collect the Moon's Tear. Backtrack to South Clock Town and give the Moon's Tear to the Deku Merchant at the gold flower. You get the Land's Title Deed in exchange, plus the flower. As Deku Link, dive into the flower and fly left to the platform on the Clock Tower. Collect the heart piece.
3) Make sure you have some Rupees in your wallet. Go to West Clock Town and enter the Swordsman School. Pay 1 Rupee and try the Beginners' Course. When you finish practicing, pay 10 rupees for the Novice Course, which is actually a mini-game. Cut all the logs by using Z- Targeting, then A (the lunging slash.) Remember to draw your sword first before the logs come up. I always forget to do that, then I wonder why he rolls towards the log! Anyway, when you master the Novice Course (get 30 points), you receive the piece as a prize.
4) In West Clock Town, deposit Rupees to the banker. Keep depositing until you have 200 rupees in your account. You'll receive the Adult Wallet, which holds a maximum of 200 rupees. Keep depositing until you reach 5000 rupees (!!!) You receive a Heart Piece. Suggestion: Master the 2nd Skulltula House at Great Bay on Day 1 to get the Giant's Wallet, which holds a maximum of 500 rupees. Another suggestion: Shoot the big bird at the entrance to Milk Road from southern Termina Field. Stay a good distance away or he'll steal your items! If you have the Stone Mask, you can stand near him and he won't see you. Use Fire, Ice or Light arrows if possible (it won't take as long to shoot him down.) You gain an instant 200 rupees (a Gold Rupee.) You can also find some treasure chests that hold a Silver Rupee in them. One is in the Bombers' Hideout. Go in from East Clock Town (you might need to give the Bomber the password), go left right away and hug the left wall to avoid the Skulltula. Climb up on the left cove and bomb the wall (using bombs or the Blast Mask with your shield, to avoid loss of health.) You can also get the Room Key from the Stock Pot Inn at 2:00 p.m. and get it a chest in the room or, on the Final Day, go in the Employees' Room to get 100 rupees from the chest. Or, you can hop across the roofs using the Bunny Hood in South Clock Town (start on the roof of the Milk Bar, then hop across the targets above Honey and Darling's Gaming Center door) to get a rupee from the chest. The Curiosity Shop will buy bottled items: Gold Dust/Chateau Romani/Big Poe for 200 rupees, Fish/Fairy for 20 rupees. So many choices!!!
5) In West Clock Town on Day 1 or 2 from 6 p.m. until midnight, play the Postman's training mini-game (first try is free, afterwards he charges 2 rupees per game.) When you stop the clock on EXACTLY 10'00 you get the Heart Piece. A great tip: Wear the Bunny Hood when you talk to him to make the clock shorter.
6) In West Clock Town on Day 1 or 2 from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m., wear Kamaro's Mask and dance in front of the Rosa sisters to gain the piece.
7) In North Clock Town or Milk Road any day, any time, wear Keaton's Mask and pick up the centre bush among the bushes. A yellow fox named Keaton will appear. Talk to him and answer all his questions about characters, locations, etc. to win the Heart Piece (see Keaton's Questions for the answers.)
8) Get the Moon's Tear, then exchange it for the Land Title Deed. On any of the three days from midnight until 6 a.m., give the deed to the hand in the Stock Pot Inn's bathroom on the bottom floor. He'll give you a Heart Piece. In case you don't know how to get the Moon's Tear and Land Title Deed, see Side Quests, Deku Merchants.
9) When you get the Couple's Mask (see Side Quests, Anju and Kafei), go to the Mayor's Residence and talk to him while wearing the mask. He'll give you a Heart Piece.
10) After getting the Postman's Hat (see Bombers' Notebook page under Postman), wear it and check a mailbox. The first one you check has a Heart Piece inside. Afterwards, all have a Green Rupee.
11) After getting the All-Night Mask (see Bombers' Notebook page under Man from Curiosity Shop), go to the Stock Pot Inn on the bottom floor, first door (Day 1 or 2, from 6 a.m.-6 p.m.) Talk to Anju's grandmother while wearing the mask and listen to the first story. When she asks you a question, pick the first choice. She'll give you a Heart Piece.
12) Same as # 11, only listen to the second story and pick the second choice. You will get another Heart Piece.
13) In East Clock Town's Shooting Gallery, pay 20 rupees per game (you must have the Hero's Bow.) Shoot all the red Octoroks and beat the high score to get a new Arrow Carrier. Play again and get a perfect score of 50 to get the Heart Piece.
14) Make sure you have the Hero's Bow and Bomb Bag before doing this one. Go to Honey and Darling's Gaming Center in East Clock Town on Day 1. Pay 10 rupees to play their game. Blow up all the targets with bombchus to win a Purple Rupee. Come back on Day 2 and win the Bomb Basket game for a Purple Rupee. Come back again on Day 3 and win the Target Shooting game to get the Heart Piece.
15) As Goron Link, go to the Treasure Chest Game in East Clock Town. Pay 30 rupees and find the treasure chest. Open it for a piece of heart.
16) In North Clock Town on Day 1, use the Deku Flower to fly over the small fence next to the Fairy Fountain. Go down the hole and pay 10 rupees to play in the Deku Playground. Fly around and collect all the rupees on the moving platforms. Break the time record to win a Purple Rupee. Come back on Day 2 and win again (different set-up than Day 1.) Come back once again on Day 3 and win the hardest set-up yet to get the Heart Piece.
Termina Field:
17) Go through the Bombers' Hideout in East Clock Town to the Astral Observatory. Look in the telescope to see a Deku Scrub fly in a hole in the ground (wait a little while and you'll see him fly near the Clock Tower.) Exit back to Clock Town and go through the South or East gate. Look for the hole near the back of the Observatory. Jump in and talk to the Deku Scrub. Decline his first offer of 150 rupees, then accept the 100 rupee offer for the Heart Piece.
18) Go through the North Gate at Clock Town. Go down the ramp to the snow-covered ground. Look for a hole under a mushroom-shaped platform. Go down and battle two big Dodongos (use bombs or arrows.) You get 50 rupees for each. When they're both gone, you get the Heart Piece.
19) There are four holes in Termina Field with a few Gossip Stones inside, a big one, then 3 smaller ones. As Goron Link, enter each hole and play the Goron Lullaby to each big one to make it red. When all 4 stones are red, you get the Heart Piece. Here is where each hole is:
a) Under a rock between North and West Termina Field
b) Near the entrance to Milk Road, next to tall grass
c) On the left side of the back of the Observatory
d) In North Termina Field where snow and grass meet on the right side.
20) In South Termina Field, in the tall grass before Milk Road's entrance, there is a hidden hole near a Deku Baba. Fall down it and battle the peahat. You can only beat it when it comes alive and flies. If it stays still, come back later on in the game when you have more items. Shoot arrows at it until it's gone, then collect the Heart Piece.
21) On the way to Great Bay, a rock is stuck in the ground. Punch it as Goron Link or bomb it to break the rock. Jump down the hole. Shoot the beehives on the ceiling and one of them has a Heart Piece inside that falls in the water. Get rid of the enemies, then sink down as Zora Link to collect the piece.
Southern Swamp:
22) In the first area of Southern Swamp, get rid of the Keese, then climb the vines on the tree to get the Heart Piece at the top.
23) If you have the Land Title Deed from Clock Town's Deku Merchant, climb the ladder leading to the Photo Hut and turn left. Give the deed to the Swamp's Deku Merchant when prompted to. He'll give you the Swamp Title Deed and the flower. As Deku Link, dive into the flower and fly onto the roof of the hut. Collect the Heart Piece up there.
24) After you defeat Odolwa and save the Deku Princess, return to the Photo Hut. Kotake will offer you a boat cruise with a twist. Shoot the target on her broomstick 20 times throughout the cruise to win the Heart Piece. BUT, don't shoot her! If you do up to 10 times, you automatically lose and must pay rupees to play again.
25) On Day 1, when you see the Deku King in the palace, use your Pictograph Box to take a good picture of him. Or, if you're near Tingle, take a picture of him instead. Either one will win you a Heart Piece at the Photo Hut (give the picture to the big guy at the desk when prompted to.) Tingle is his son, so that's how you win with a picture of Tingle.
26) In the Swamp Shooting Gallery, pay 20 rupees per game and shoot ALL of the enemies (look for two scrubs hiding; one is on the tree branch to the right and the other is on the stone wall to the left.) Get a perfect score and win a new Arrow Carrier. Play again and win to get the Heart Piece.
Deku Palace:
27) Go through the Inner Palace Garden (the left entrance when you pass the two guards at the door) and avoid the guards. Collect the Heart Piece at the very end.
Woodfall:
28) When you go around the walkways, defeat the enemies and use the Deku Flowers to fly all the way around. Collect the Heart Piece in the gold and brown chest (there is a brown chest with a rupee inside, but continue on to find the other treasure chest.)
Mountain Village:
29) First, go to the Astral Observatory in the Bombers' Hideout back in Clock Town. Talk to the Scarecrow and say no to dancing and no to learning the songs (those two songs are listed on my Songs page.) Take out your Ocarina when he's finished talking and play any 8 notes in a row (remember these because they won't appear on your subscreens.) He'll appear when you play that song in the proper spot. Go to Mountain Village. Before you defeat Goht (the boss of Snowhead Temple), go to the area with the ramps (from the area with the log cabin, go over the small bridge) that you have to go across to get to the temple (later on you don't if you hit the owl statue at Snowhead). As Goron Link, go over the first gap and forward in front of the next. Use the Lens of Truth to see a hidden path. Take the path until it ends, then play the Scarecrow's Song (the 8 notes you made up.) Use your Hookshot on the scarecrow, then collect the Heart Piece.
30) In Mountain Village on the bottom level, look for the Deku Merchant. As Deku Link, give him the Swamp Title Deed when prompted to and he'll give you the Mountain Title Deed, plus the flower. Dive in and fly to the ledge behind you. Collect the Heart Piece.
31) After you defeat Goht and restore the Mountain Village to normal, go to the area where Tingle and the Wolfos are. As Zora Link, sink to the bottom of the water below and look for a treasure chest with a Heart Piece inside (it's near the exit of this area.)
32) After defeating Odolwa (to get frog c) and Goht, use the Don Gero Mask (see Walkthrough) to talk to the frog near where the hungry Goron was. His 4 friends are missing and will come here if you talk to them, wearing the mask. You've probably seen those frogs around. Here is where to find them:
a) In Clock Town's Laundry Pool near the tree
b) When you defeat Gekko in Woodfall Temple, he turns into a frog
c) In Southern Swamp, where the Octoroks are, on a log
d) When you defeat Gekko again in Great Bay Temple, he turns into another frog
When you find all of the frogs, return to the Mountain Village and talk to them. They sing a cute song and give you a Heart Piece.
Great Bay:
33) In eastern Great Bay, where Zora Hall is, swim to the beach surface and you'll see pots on top of some logs and a couple of Zoras standing around (if it's the right time of day.) Go past them to some broken branches on the ground. Stand on them and use the Hookshot on a palm tree above you. Keep moving up until you reach a tunnel. Enter it to the Beavers' Home. You'll see a beaver motoring around on the water. As Zora Link, hop in the water and he'll sink down to the bottom. He'll let you race him through 20 rings as a test. You don't actually beat him by getting ahead of him, but by going through all 20 rings. When you win, his older brother will race you through 25 rings in a quicker time. When you win, you get an empty bottle. Exit, then re- enter the area. Climb up on a platform and talk to them again. Race the younger brother, then the older brother to win the Heart Piece.
34) Near the Beavers' Home (see # 33 above), you should see a waterfall. Sink to the bottom as normal Link and defeat the Like-Like and skeleton fish for the Heart Piece.
35) In the 2nd Skulltula House, in the room with the four laughing Stalchildren sitting at the table, wear the Captain's Hat and talk to them. Then, find the two Stalchildren in the library. Talk to all of them to learn an order of colours. These are masks in that first room with the Stalchildren at the table. Return there and shoot the masks in the proper order with arrows. The grate will open and you can collect the Heart Piece.
36) Before defeating Gryorg in Great Bay Temple, go to the Pirates' Fortress and wear the Stone Mask so no one will see you. Stand on a boat with a pirate and use the Pictograph Box to take a picture. Return to Great Bay and find the Fisherman's Hut next to the Skulltula House. Give the picture to the sailor when prompted to. Take the seahorse in one of your empty bottles and release it at the entrance to Pinnacle Rock. Talk to him and he'll guide you to the right area (sink down as Zora Link to follow him.) His friend is in trouble with some sea sharks (eels.) Sink down to the bottom of that huge hole and defeat each eel using your boomerang. The bottom ones are easy, but the top ones are a bit harder. You need to stand in the hole with them and use the boomerang. When they're all gone, the seahorses will be re-united and you'll be rewarded with the Heart Piece.
37) Catch 4 fish in empty bottles, then bring them to the Marine Research Lab (where the Owl Statue is.) Stand on the smaller tank and release the fish. One fish will eat them and eventually turn big, popping a Heart Piece out for you!
38) First, go to the Astral Observatory in Clock Town and play an 8-note song to the scarecrow. Remember those notes, then go near the Pirate's Fortress and look up to see a Hookshot target. Hookshot up and look for more targets to hook onto. Keep moving up until you reach a soft soil spot. Plant a Magic Bean inside, then water it with a bottle of Spring Water. Use the plant to ride over to a platform, then play the Scarecrow's Song to summon him. Hookshot over to him and collect the Heart Piece.
39) After you defeat Gryorg and things are back to normal in Great Bay, go towards the Pirate's Fortress and look for a sign near a boat. Make sure it's not early morning or night. Hop on the boat and get your hookshot ready. The boat will move you towards a small platform with a palm tree on it. Hookshot it on the fly and talk to the sailor. He'll let you play the Jumping mini-game. Pay 20 rupees per game and jump to the platform with the lit torch. You have plenty of time, but if you fall off into the water, you automatically lose. When you get 20 jumps correct, stop and let time pass. You win the Heart Piece. Pretty easy, eh?
Zora Hall:
40) Before you defeat Gyorg, in Zora Hall, find the room with the drummer inside. Hookshot to the tree on the ledge above him and read the journal as Zora Link to learn two parts of a song. Remember these, then exit. Find the room with the guitarist (Japas) and take out your guitar. Play the first part that you learned after he plays, then play the second part after he plays again. Remember the whole song (his parts and your parts together.) Exit and find the pianist's room. Enter as Zora Link, then remove your mask. Talk to the guy, then take out your ocarina and play the all the parts together. He'll take the song but you get a Heart Piece.
41) Go into Lulu's room and, as Goron Link, talk to the Deku Merchant. Give him the Mountain Title Deed and he'll give you the Ocean Title Deed, plus the flower. As Deku Link, dive into the flower and fly to the ledge nearby. Collect the Heart Piece.
Pirate's Fortress:
42) While going into different rooms, you should eventually see a Heart Piece on the other side of a gate. As Goron Link, go up the ramp across from the piece and bash the barrels. Step on the switch to lift the gate for a limited time. Quickly, change to normal Link and wear the Bunny Hood. Make your way to the piece and collect it. Step on the switch on this side of the gate to open it so you can exit.
Ikana Canyon:
43) While on the road, stand near the wall and wear the Garo's Mask. The guy sitting on top of the wall will let you up. Hookshot to the tree and make your way to Ikana Valley. Go right (past Sakon the Thief running around) and, as Zora Link, talk to the Deku Merchant. Give him the Ocean Title Deed as prompted. He'll give you a Gold Rupee and the flower. As Deku Link, dive into the flower and fly to the platform ahead of you with the Heart Piece and Gossip Stone on it. Collect the piece.
44) When you first enter Ikana Valley, hop in the water with the Octoroks and go left, battling the current. Get up on the left side and enter the cave. Shoot the sun with a Light Arrow and enter the door. Talk to the ghost-like guy and he'll let you face 4 enemies that you've fought before in the game. Go through each door and fight each of the mini-bosses (Metal Dinalfos, Wart, Wizrobe and Ghost of Garo.) You might not be able to enter some of the doors if you're low on hearts. Make sure you have a good stock of arrows. You get 100 rupees for each fight completed. When you beat all four mini-bosses, come back to the first room and the ghost-like guy will re-appear and give you a Heart Piece.
45) In Ikana Valley, when you're up on the top level, enter the Ghost Hut and take the Ghost Collector's Challenge. Pay 30 rupees per try. Defeat all 4 Poe sisters (Amy, Beth, Meg and Joelle) for the Heart Piece. Use arrows and your sword/shield. Fight one poe, then two at once, then another one appears. The last one (Meg) is harder as she duplicates. Just look for the one that spins around once at the beginning, then use your arrows on her.
Ikana Graveyard:
46) On Day 2 at night, enter the graveyard (instead of hookshoting to the tree, climb the short wall and enter the area.) Wear the Captain's Hat and when asked, tell the Stalchildren to open the grave. Jump down and use the Lens of Truth. Enter the door. Defeat the bats and Skulltulas, making your way across the path. Bomb the left wall and enter the door to fight Iron Kunckle. Defeat him for the Heart Piece.
Ikana Ruins:
47) When you're outside the castle on the roof, look for a few tall platforms and a crystal switch on top of the leftmost one. Hit the switch with a bubble as Deku Link, then hop over and use the Deku Flowers to make your way to the Heart Piece. By the way: If you get the Heart Piece and have not yet completed the Ikana Ruins, you'll have to backtrack and start again.
Romani Ranch:
48) At the back of the ranch, next to the Cucco Shack, is the Doggy Racetrack. Bring lots of rupees and make sure you have the Mask of Truth (see the 1st Skulltula House.) Talk to the lady there, then choose your dog to bet on. Wear the Mask of Truth to hear how good the dog is. Pick one that sounds very confident, then go back to the lady and bet at least 50 rupees on the race. The winner of the race is random, but if you pick the better sounding dog, you at least have a chance to get in the top 5 and win more rupees. Win the race on the large bet and you get a Heart Piece.
The Moon:
49) In the Odolwa Dungeon, as Deku Link, fly to the left platform. Time your next landing to land on the gold flower, then quickly dive into it to avoid the blade. Fly out and go to the right platform for the Heart Piece.
50) In the Goht Dungeon, be prepared for a hard one! As Goron Link, line yourself up on the track and push the Control Stick forward. Try to stay straight. Build up speed until he's spiky, then let go of the Control Stick, but keep the A button pressed. Watch Goron Link bounce off the chests. When you go through two green pots, be ready to move the Control Stick. Turn right on the sharp curve, then left. When you reach three green pots, let go of the A button to stop. See the Heart Piece (or at least a straight track)? Line yourself up, nice and centred, then build up speed and roll over the short ramp all the way to the piece of heart. Way to go!
51) In the Gyorg dungeon, sink down as Zora Link and the current will push you. Go left, right, left and finally, left to the Heart Piece. To get back to the entrance, use the warp behind the Gossip Stone. If you miss the Heart Piece, try sinking as Goron Link to restart (*Thanks Sara for the tip*).
52) In the Twinmold Dungeon, defeat all the bosses. You'll come to a room with a crack in the wall. Set a Bombchu down, then shoot it with an arrow when it goes over the crack to blow it up. Shoot the switch with an arrow, then enter the door. Ta-Da! The last Heart Piece!
