The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time features 36 heart pieces scattered across Hyrule. It takes four Pieces of Heart to form a full Heart Container, meaning there's 9 potential Heart Containers for you to find! This combined with the 3 starting heart containers, as well as the 8 heart containers obtained from completing the dungeons allowes Link's total health to increase to 20 hearts.

Heart Piece #05

Oot heart 05.jpg

Location: Goron City

At the lowest level of the city, light all the torches using Deku Sticks (and the lit torch in Darunia's chamber) or Din's Fire. Once all of them are lit, the giant goron-faced urn in the center will begin spinning. Go up to the second floor where you can toss either Bomb Flowers or Bombs into it once it gets close. If they explode when the face that's towards you is smiling, you will get a Piece of Heart and some Rupees. It can take awhile and is very frustrating, so don't feel like you're the only one.

Heart Piece #06

Oot heart 06.jpg

Location: Death Mountain Crater

The wall that leads up to the large area at the entrance of Death Mountain Crater is climbable and it has an alcove with a Piece of Heart in it. There are two ways you can get it:

1) You can enter Death Mountain Crater as a child and run straight forward. When you hit the ledge, rather than jumping, Link will turn around and start climbing down. Get to the alcove and claim your prize, then quickly leave before you run out of time (the limit is based on the amount of Heart Containers you have, so the more health the better). You can always use this method as an adult as well.

2) The other way is to plant a Magic Bean here as a child and ride the Magic Bean Plant as an adult. It will eventually take you over to the alcove.

Heart Piece #07

Oot heart 07.jpg

Location: Kakariko Village

To get this Piece of Heart, you need to get on top of Impa's House (the building to the far southwest). You can get there by either catching a ride from the Owl atop Death Mountain as a child, or using the Hookshot as an adult to get on top of the House of Skulltula, then on top of Impa's House. Once you get up there, jump off to the east side where there is a ledge above the fence. Enter the hole in the wall which takes you into a cage inside the house with a cow...? and a Piece of Heart!

Heart Piece #08

Oot heart 08.jpg

Location: Market

During the day, the Bombchu Bowling Alley is open and ready for business! The game cycles through five different prizes, in this order: Bombchu, Piece of Heart, Bombs, Bomb Bag, and a purple Rupee (50). If you mess up playing the game for the prize you want, you will have to wait for the prize to cycle around again.

Heart Piece #09

Oot heart 09.jpg

Location: Market

During the night, there are lots of dogs roaming the streets. If you touch one, it will follow you until you enter a building or leave the area entirely. There is one specific dog we want, which is the white one behind the booth just to the left of the exit leading back to Hyrule Field. Make it follow you, then head over to the right a bit and enter the Back Alley between the buildings. Enter the door straight ahead to your left, which is the only one open at night. Inside, you will find the Pooch Lady who is constantly raving about her "Little Richard" during the day. For bringing him back, she will gift you with a Piece of Heart.

Heart Piece #10

Oot heart 10.jpg

Location: Zora's River

There is a pillar in the middle of the Zora's River area in the water that has a Piece of Heart atop it. There are a few different ways to get to it:

1) You can bring the Cucco from the beginning of the area, jump at the nearby platform and let go of the Cucco at the last moment to grab on, pull yourself up and jump to the Piece of Heart.

2) Use the Boomerang as a child to retrieve it.

3) Use the Hover Boots as an adult to float over and grab it.

Heart Piece #11

Oot heart 11.jpg

Location: Zora's River

At the end of Zora's River, near the entrance to [Zora's Domain]] is a platform in the corner with a Piece of Heart. There are a few ways to get it:

1) Bring the Cucco from the beginning of the area, throw it up on the ledges and quickly grab it before it touches water and flies off. Get to the highest point near the platform, jump to it, let go of the Cucco at the last moment to grab on to the ledge, and snag the prize.

2) Use the Boomerang.

3) Use the Hover Boots.

Heart Piece #12

Oot heart 12.jpg

Location: Zora's Domain

There are five unlit torches in Zora's Domain.

1) As a child, run up to the Throne Room and light a Deku Stick, then run down the stairs and light the torch you find at the corner. This one will stay lit.

2) Get out a new Deku Stick so you have the most time and start spiraling down the ramp.

3) Next to the shop is another torch, continue on into the water.

4) In the northern corner is a torch next to a circle of stones. Light it and then quickly head to the waterfall.

5) The final two torches are behind the waterfall. Stay close to the edge, run inside and light them to make a large chest appear.

Heart Piece #15

Oot heart 15.jpg

Location: Hyrule Field

In the southwest corner of Hyrule Field is the entrance to Lake Hylia. Just before the entrance itself is four fences that form a square. Lay a bomb in the center to reveal a hole. Jump down and purchase the Piece of Heart from the Business Scrub for 10 Rupees.

Heart Piece #18

Oot heart 18.jpg

Location: Kakariko Village Graveyard

On the left side of the Graveyard as a child, there is a soft soil location. Plant a Magic Bean and return as an adult later on. Ride the Magic Bean Plant up on to the ledge and roll into the crate to find a Piece of Heart.

Heart Piece #19

Oot heart 19.jpg

Location: Kakariko Village

Within the Windmill is a ledge with a Piece of Heart resting atop it. You can either use the Boomerang as a child to bring it down, or you can race against Dampé in the Graveyard as an adult, and then jump across the moving platforms to get it.

Heart Piece #20

Oot heart 20.jpg

Location: Kakariko Village

Once you have collected 50 Gold Skulltulas, go into the House of Skulltulas and claim your prize.

Heart Piece #21

Oot heart 21.jpg

Location: Road to Death Mountain Trail

As a child, plant a Magic Bean in the soft soil at the entrance of [Dodongo's Cavern]]. When you return as an adult, you can ride the Magic Bean Plant to jump on to the ledge just above Dodongo's Cavern where a Piece of Heart awaits. Another way to get there is to go to the Bomb Flowers directly above as a child. Move the Bomb Flower out of the way, then face away towards the southeast (opposite the cavern), Z-target and backflip. If done right, you will land on the platform and can get the Piece of Heart early.

Heart Piece #22

Oot heart 22.jpg

Location: Road to Death Mountain Crater

As a child, warp to Death Mountain Crater and plant a Magic Bean in the soft soil next to the Triforce Pedestal. Warp back as an adult and ride the Magic Bean up to one of the two smoky mountains in the center of the area, which has a Piece of Heart atop it.

Heart Piece #23

Oot heart 23.jpg

Location: Zora's Fountain

When you return to Zora's Domain as an adult, Jabu-Jabu is no longer here and there are now a bunch of icebergs floating around. Jump across them to find a Piece of Heart atop one of them.

Heart Piece #24

Oot heart 24.jpg

Location: Ice Cavern

In the far right room with Blue Fire, lots of stalactites that fall from the ceiling, and some patches of Red Ice, there is a Piece of Heart encased in Red Ice to the north. Use Blue Fire to melt it.

Heart Piece #25

Oot heart 25.jpg

Location: Zora's Fountain

Once you have the Iron Boots and Zora's Tunic (that you can get by melting the Red Ice encasing King Zora) sink down to the bottom of Zora's Fountain to find a Piece of Heart in the center.

Heart Piece #26

Oot heart 26.jpg

Location: Hyrule Field

North of Lon Lon Ranch (between Gerudo Valley and Hyrule Castle) there is a tree. Place a bomb next to it to reveal a hole. Inside, use either the Iron Boots or the Golden Scale to dive deep into the water and retrieve this Piece of Heart.

Heart Piece #27

Oot heart 27.jpg

Location: Lake Hylia

At the very top of the Lakeside Laboratory is a Piece of Heart. To get up there, you can either plant a Magic Bean as a child and ride it as an adult or use the Scarecrow's Song and Hookshot up. Watch out for the Guays, a crow-like enemy while you're at it too.

Heart Piece #28

Oot heart 28.jpg

Location: Lake Hylia

Once you win the Golden Scale from the Fishing Pond, you can enter the Lakeside Laboratory and use it to dive down as far as you can. Link will touch the bottom and you will hear the "secret" chime. Swim back up and speak with Lake Scientist to get a reward.

Heart Piece #29

Oot heart 29.jpg

Location: Kakariko Village Graveyard

Once you have acquired the Hookshot, you can race against Dampé again anytime you like. If you can beat him in under a minute, you will get a Piece of Heart. Perhaps the most successful way of doing this is to use the Longshot to latch on to the torch near the end of the maze, shaving a few seconds off your travels.

Heart Piece #30

Oot heart 30.jpg

Location: Kakariko Village

When you are an adult, use the Longshot to get on top of the roof of Granny's Potion Shop and then talk to the guy up there and he will give you the Piece of Heart. You can also barely reach it with the Hookshot while standing next to the windmill. Another way to get on top of the lookout tower, face to the south, Z-target, and side jump to the left. This will cause you to land on top of the fence, which you can then use to climb up to the roof. You can do this to get this Piece of Heart early as a child.

Heart Piece #31

Oot heart 31.jpg

Location: Road to Zora's River

In the middle of Zora's River, there are some odd looking branches in the water along with some frogs. Stand on the flat, stumpy part of the logs and it will say "some frogs are looking at you from under the water." Pull out your Ocarina to make five frogs come out, who mimic your Ocarina playing. Play the Song of Storms to make them very excited and give you a Piece of Heart.

Heart Piece #32

Oot heart 32.jpg

Location: Zora's River

After getting Piece of Heart #31 from the frogs, play all of the other regular (non teleporting) songs to make each frog grow. Once all of them are grown, they'll let you play a little bug-catching game. Play the button they represent when the butterfly is hovering over them to make them eat it. You only have a limited amount of time, so you have to be quick. Luckily, the pattern isn't random:

N64: A, C-Left, C-Right, C-Down, C-Left, C-Right, C-Down, A, C-Down, A, C-Down, C-Right, C-Left, A. 3DS: L X Y R X Y R L R L R Y X L L

The frogs will reward you with a Piece of Heart.

Heart Piece #33

Oot heart 33.jpg

Location: Market

The Treasure Chest Shop is open only at night. Enter and you can play this game for 10 Rupees a try. In each room, you are given a choice between two chests, one being a prize while the other allows you to move forward to better prizes. It is a fifty-fifty chance you will make it each time, so your chances of doing it on your own... aren't that good... Once you have acquired the Lens of Truth, you can use it during the game (there is a sign out front that says no lenses are allowed) in order to see what is inside the chests. Pick all the Small Key chests to get to the end.

Heart Piece #34

Oot heart 34.jpg

Location: Gerudo's Fortress

At the very top of the fortress is a large treasure chest. One of the doors to the south takes you to an upper ledge where you can walk around and climb up some vines to get to the highest point. Run over to the north and at the gap, you can play the Scarecrow's Song to make Pierre appear. Use the Hookshot to get across and open the chest for a Piece of Heart. If you have the Longshot, you should just barely be able to grapple on to the chest itself.

Heart Piece #35

Oot heart 35.jpg

Location: Gerudo's Fortress

Once you have saved all the carpenters and acquired the Gerudo Membership Card, you can bring Epona to the far east and play the Gerudo Horseback Archery game. If you can manage to get over 1,000 points, she will reward you with a Piece of Heart.

Heart Piece #36

Oot heart 36.jpg

Location: Desert Colossus

Next to the entrance of the Spirit Temple is a soft soil location. Plant a Magic Bean as a child, and then come back as an adult and ride it. Near the end of its travels, it will go over the stonehenge-looking platform where there is a Piece of Heart. Jump off and collect the final one in the game!
