The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask features 52 heart pieces scattered across Termina, offering 13 Heart Containers to Link's total health.
Location: South Clock Town

Heart Piece #1 - In South Clock Town, you can see a Piece of Heart sitting in front of the entrance to the top of the Clock Tower.

With the Business Scrub out of the way, as Deku Link, use the flower to launch yourself up to the Piece of Heart.
Location: North Clock Town
Conditions: After obtaining the Ocarina of Time
Heart Piece #2 - In North Clock Town, a Piece of Heart is seen in the branches of a tree. To obtain it, climb up the the pillars right next to the slide to get on top of them. Once on top, jump onto the tree branches to claim your prize.

Heart Piece #3 - Go to the Swordman's School in West Clock Town at any time on any day (except the night of the final day).

If you do this to all of them, you get a perfect score of 30 and receive a Piece of Heart.
Location: Termina Field
Conditions: After obtaining the Ocarina of Time

If it is nighttime in the Nintendo 3DS version, you can easily defeat this enemy by tossing bombs at it as it will not awaken.
Location: Termina Field
Conditions: After obtaining the Ocarina of Time
Heart Piece #5 - In north Termina Field, there is a hole beneath one of the mushroom-shaped structures in the snow-filled region. Inside, there are two Dodongos.

The Business Scrubs will reward you with a Piece of Heart. You could actually get this Piece of Heart during the first three-day-cycle when you are a Deku. This is one of the most difficult Piece of Hearts in the game and perhaps could be left until after Woodfall Temple when you have more experience with Deku Link.

Heart Piece #7 - Enter the Post Office on the First Day anytime from 3pm to 12am, or on the Second Day between 5pm and 12am. Speak with the Postman to play a little game. This game can be extremely difficult. You have to hit A to start a timer and then again at exactly 10 seconds. If you pull it off, he will give you a Piece of Heart. What makes this so difficult is that not only do you have to stop the timer on exactly 10 seconds, but the timer will disappear from the screen after the first couple of seconds. However, if you wear the Bunny Hood while playing the game, the timer will not vanish making it much easier to succeed.
Location: West Clock Town

Heart Piece #8 - Go to West Clock Town during the First or Second Night to find the Rosa Sisters practicing their dance routine outside, but they are having trouble coming up with some good moves.

You have to actually see him fly into the hole for him to appear. Return to Termina Field and fall into that hole. Inside, the Business Scrub will sell you a Piece of Heart to keep his hole a secret. First, he will charge you 150 Rupees. Say no. He will lower the price to a final 100. Take it!

Heart Piece N64 ONLY - Go to the Swamp Tourist Center and speak with Koume after you've defeated Odolwa and rescued her earlier. She will let you play a little game now that the poison is clear. Koume will fly around on her broom, holding a target below her. The object of the game is to hit the target at least 20 times. You can hit her 10 times and then you're out. Aim carefully, it is pretty easy. Once you've done it, you will receive a Piece of Heart as a reward.
This is changed on the 3DS version of the game. Instead of receiving a Piece of Heart as a reward, you receive an Empty Bottle. The location of the Piece of Heart is swapped with the location of the Empty Bottle you receive in Ikana Graveyard.

Conditions: None, Mask of Truth (Strongly Recommended)
Heart Piece #19 - Go to Mamamu Yan's Doggy Racetrack at the back of Romani Ranch. You have to bring her a dog to race with and bet a certain amount of Rupees to play. If you win 150 or more Rupees, you will receive a Piece of Heart. Before you actually pick a dog to race with, walk around picking them up one by one while wearing the Mask of Truth. With this, you can hear their thoughts.
When you find the one that says something to the extent of "Ruff! There's no way I can lose!" and is very enthusiastic, take him and bet 50 Rupees on him (the maximum amount). The races are pretty random, but it is a very good chance that you will at least get third, which will still allow you to keep your Rupees. If you don't get it the first time, find the correct puppy that makes the above statement and do it again. After a few tries you will get it. You could get this without the Mask of Truth, but you'd be picking blindly.
