All Heart Containers and Pieces of Heart locations in Ocarina of Time
The guide maps out the Heart Containers and Pieces of Heart in the Ocarina of Time remake, collectibles that increase Link’s maximum health. Finding them can make the adventure safer, though collecting every one is optional and some are tucked away in obscure places.
Defeating bosses in the major dungeons, apart from the final one, awards eight Heart Containers. Hyrule also contains 36 Pieces of Heart; every four combine into one heart, giving nine additional hearts in total. The locations described include places such as Lon Lon Ranch, Hyrule Castle Town, Lake Hylia and Kakariko Village, with some rewards tied to games, quests or exploration.
In short
- Major dungeon bosses award eight Heart Containers.
- Collecting all 36 Pieces of Heart adds nine hearts.
- Some pieces require games, quests or careful exploration.
