Heart Locations

Next to the big dungeon weapons, the most important items to find are the Pieces of Heart Containers scattered throughout the land. Some you'll find sitting in the open. Others will require you to perform certain tasks or win mini games to claim them. Find 4 pieces and you'll have a new Heart Container to add to the line at the top of the screen.

There are 36 pieces of heart to collect in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and if you can't spot some, this guide will help you out. Remember, you win a full heart container at the end of each boss battle. Don't overlook them in your haste to put another dungeon behind you!!!
