[[File:la_heart_02.png|right|400px]]
Location: [[Mabe Village]]


Located two screens north from [[Madam MeowMeow]]’s house is a fishing pond. The fisherman will charge you 10 [[rupee]]s to fish there. In the pond there are three small fish, and two larger ones. The big one that floats directly beneath where [[Link]] stands is the heaviest in the pond, and carries a [[Piece of Heart]] with it. Catching it almost always requires you to first catch the smaller fish swimming above the rest, rewarding you with 5 [[rupee]]s. After that, cast your line and reel it in atop the water so that it doesn’t sink and get taken by another fish, then let it sink down to the fish under the cliff.

In an area near some pits with a few Pincers hiding in them, you will notice a weak wall on the upper-left side of the screen. Bombing it reveals a cave with some green crystals which you must dash through using the [[Pegasus Boots]] and having your [[Sword]] equipped on the other button. There is a hidden weak spot in the wall on the eastern portion of the cave. Bombing it reveals a smaller section with a [[Piece of Heart]] in it.

However, really all you need to do is a diagonal jump from the area where you walk out of the stairs to the south-east platform, then jump to the area containing the [[Piece of Heart]] just above that.
