--- Heart Container Piece Guide --- (52 in all)
-----------------------------------


-------------------
-- Egalos Island --
-------------------
1. On the screen with the jumping tektites, feel your way along the mountains to the southwest to find a hidden walkway.  Follow that to the east and the heart piece is sitting out in the open.

2. After you obtain the candle from level 1, return the way you came.  On the screen that you can only go north and west, there are two groups of four trees.  Burn the tree in the upper group that has small rocks immediately above & below it.

3. After you have the candle, return to the same screen for #1 with the jumping tektites.  Burn the brown tree to find an old man who knows "you'd care less about the potion" and give you a heart piece.

22. After you obtain a super bomb from level 7 (or elsewhere), return to level 1. In a room to the southeast, you'll find the heart piece behind a boulder that the super bomb can remove.

-------------------
-- Facade Island --
-------------------
4. Slash the large group of bushes until you find the heart piece underneath one of them.  This should give you a full extra heart container before you enter level 2.

9. After you have the ladder, return to Facade Island and cross a river to the south. To the west is a heart piece amongst some bushes.  Watch out for the Like-Like, though.

15. After you have the hammer, return to just outside the entrance of level 2.  Hammer the posts to the left and follow the shallow water to a small island with a heart piece on it.
NOTE: If you have the flippers, you don't need to hammer the posts.

30. After you have the flippers, return to where you got the other heart piece west of Facade Island.  There is a stairway on an island you need to swim to reach; follow that stairway, and it will eventually lead you to a small, adjacent island with one cave on it.  Swim to the west of the cave and look for a jumping fish.  Dive under that fish to find a heart piece.

-------------------
-- Forest Island --
-------------------
5. In level 3, burn the middle (reddish) tree in the room with a bubble, gibdos and zols.  It will lead to an unreachable heart piece on the overworld.

10. After you have the ladder, go to the north side of Crossroads Island to access a previously-unreachable portion of Forest Island.  Slash the lone bush and burn the tree immediately below it to find an old man with a heart piece.

27. Once you have the flippers, go to the southwest corner of Forest Island.  A heart piece is sitting out in the open, but was blocked by some trees; you can easily reach it by swimming around to it.

28. On the northeast corner of Forest Island, there are a couple bushes that can't be reached by land.  Swim to them with the flippers, then slash them to find a hidden heart piece.

44. After you have the boots and a super bomb, return to level 3.  Go to the western room that has small trees and Gibdos and use the super bomb on the boulder there.  It should open a bombable wall behind it; if not, use a regular bomb on the wall behind it to open a passageway west.  Walk over the spikes you find there and push one of the blocks to reveal a stairway leading to a heart piece.
NOTE: To exit this room without going back to level 3 and using another super bomb, use a regular bomb on the south wall and it will take you out to level 5; keep going south and you'll reach the entrance where you can exit to the overworld.

---------------------
-- Addition Island --
---------------------
6. On the raft path north of Crossroads Island, aim your raft around a rock to reach Addition Island.  The heart piece is sitting out in the open.

----------------
-- Big Island --
----------------
7. In level 4's boss room, push the left block to open a secret stairway that leads to a heart piece.

8. After you have the ladder, go to the west side of Big Island and go up the mountain.  Beat a bunch of blue octoroks and a mountain wall will open allowing you access to the heart piece on a small island to the north.

16. After you have the hammer, you can access the Ice Palace.  When you get there, immediately go to the right, behind the Ice Palace.  The heart piece is hidden behind it toward the right side.

37. When swimming to the northwest of the Ice Cavern, on the same screen as a swim warp to the Big Island Sewerways, you will find an outcrop of the reef with a small niche in it.  Dive in that niche and you will find a hidden heart piece.  (Note: There are no jumping fish there; just still water.)

---------------
-- Raft Maze --
---------------
11. After you've been on all screens of the Raft Maze, use the spacebar to view your overworld map.  Look for the raft dock that leads north of the starting point; it will lead you to an island with a heart piece.  Use the map to figure out which raft docks to take to get there.

------------------
-- Mount Island --
------------------
12. Make your way around the west side of the island and head east.  Once in the mountainous area with falling rocks, head south.  The heart piece is inside a chest at the bottom of the stairway.
NOTE: If you have the hookshot, you can take a shortcut by walking in the shallow water on the southeast side of the island and hookshotting across the water to reach the chest.

14. After you have the hammer, return to the village on top of the mountain.  Use the hammer on the hammer post behind the info shop to get a heart piece.

18. After you have the hookshot (or flippers), return to the village.  Just inside the entrance, use the hookshot (or flippers) to cross some water to get the last heart piece found in the village.

---------------------
-- Serpento Island --
---------------------
13. In level 5, when you come to a dark room with some Keese, use the candle to light the room and look for the flashing warp tile.  It will warp you to a small mountainous island with a chest; the heart piece is inside that chest.

24. Once you have the flippers, return to the Serpento Water Pass (the underground passage that leads to Gorblin Island).  The heart piece is across the water to the left on the same screen that you start from when entering from Serpento Island.

25. Once you have a super bomb from level 7 (or elsewhere), return to the room in level 5 just before the boss room (which has stairs to a passageway).  Use a regular bomb on the north wall, then use a super bomb on the boulders.  Once you defeat the Armos enemies, the heart piece will appear.  Use the hammer to get to it.

26. Once you have the flippers, return to the level 5 boss room.  Dive in the moving water that appeared after you defeated the boss and it will take you to a room with octoroks and a heart piece on some small islands.

----------------
-- Ice Palace --
----------------
17. After defeating the boss, a statue will disappear. Bomb that wall to reach a hidden room with a chest that has a heart piece in it.

----------------
-- Ice Cavern --
----------------
19. {First, use the hookshot to access Longshot Island (south of Mount Island) and obtain the gauntlets (level 2 bracelet).  Then, return to Big Island.  Southeast of the Ice Palace, use the gauntlets to move the boulders aside.  The Ice Cavern is located just south of the Ice Palace.}
In the boss room of the Ice Cavern, shoot the ice block with your wand and it will cause a tile warp to appear.  Step on it to warp to a room with a heart piece.

39. Once you have the mirror shield, return to the Ice Cavern and go west from the room with one pushable block of ice in the middle of the room.  Follow that path and use the wand on an ice block to allow you to go south.  You will find a room with Mirror Wizzrobes and a couple Bat Wizzrobes.  Defeat them and stairs will appear that lead to the heart piece.

--------------------
-- Gorblin Island --
--------------------
20. On the screen with Gohma shells and three magic octoroks, slash the bushes until you find a heart piece hiding under one (to the left of the center Gohma shell).

21. In the level 7 boss room, use the hookshot on the top-left statue; it will disappear, uncovering a stairway leading to a heart piece.

41. Once you have the fire boomerang, return to the entrance room of level 7 and use the fire boomerang to light the torch.  Go to the west and follow the rooms north.  In the room just before the room with floor spikes (and the Boots), you will need to push a block onto the sand in order to make a warp tile appear.  After you go step on it, you'll eventually end up battling two Aquamentus enemies and one Gohma.  Defeat them to receive a heart piece.

-------------------
-- Lily Pad Cave --
-------------------
23. Use the whistle until you arrive on a pathway of lily pads.  Follow them and go down the stairs.  In the darknut room, you'll find a pathway along the left wall that leads west.  Follow that to a fairy room with bushes.  Slash the bushes to find the heart piece.

------------------------
-- Forest Island Cove --
------------------------
29. {Enter the cove by using the flippers near the southeast corner of Forest Island.}
At the northeast end of the cove, there is a chest guarded by a couple of Darknuts.  Open the chest to find the heart piece.

-----------------
-- Harbor Town --
-----------------
31. You will find what looks like a house without a door.  Bomb the center of this shed and enter it.  Underneath one of the pots is a heart piece.

32. In the Harbor Town Elder's house, you will find a heart piece hiding behind a bookshelf in the hallway outside the Elder's room.

----------------
-- Ferry Ship --
----------------
33. When the Ferry Ship is heading west, climb the mast above the man steering the ship.  You will find a heart piece at the top.

34. When the Ferry Ship is heading east (back toward Harbor Town), just before you climb the stairs to go up on the top deck, push one of the barrels onto the bottom-middle floor trigger.  Some other barrels will move, revealing a heart piece.

---------------------
-- Seafarer Island --
---------------------
35. At the southeast corner of Seafarer Market, you will find a house with a purple roof and the only green grass you'll find on the island.  Go around the house from the left (around the large boxes) and follow the green grass to the north.  You'll find a heart piece by slashing the grass near the northern end of the fenced-in area.

36. After exiting Seafarer Market to the east, follow the path until you come to a brief cave.  Once inside the cave, rather than going left and exiting immediately, walk to the south on a secret passageway and it will take you outside to a ledge with a heart piece sitting on it.

40. In the Haunted Lighthouse (level 8), there is a heart piece on the roof.  To get to it, you must defeat all the Wizzrobes in the center room on floor 2.  A wardrobe will open with a secret passage inside.  Once inside, follow it to the right and climb the ladder you find there.  You will come out in the attic.  Go left to find another ladder that leads to the roof with the heart piece on it.

-------------------
-- Sewer Dungeon --
-------------------
38. In one of the locked rooms off of the center room on the dungeon's first floor, you will find a heart piece with some Bats flying around.  Use the Lens of Truth to see the pit in the middle of the room and avoid falling in it as you make your way around the room to get the heart piece.
(You will have to use the Lens of Truth to locate hidden rooms with a key to open the locked doors.)

-------------------------
-- Longshot Isle Sewer --
-------------------------
42. After you have the boots, return to Lonshot Island (where you may have gotten the gauntlets/level 2 power bracelet; just south of Mount Island).  At the end of the island (where the gauntlets appear after defeating enemies), use the gauntlets to push the boulder at the northeast corner.  Underneath, you will find the Longshot Isle Sewer.  The misty floor won't hurt you if you have the boots, so you can easily reach the heart piece located to the south.

--------------------------
-- Big Island Sewerways --
--------------------------
43. {Once you have the fire boomerang, return to the Big Island desert.  Behind the shop to the northwest with Tektites jumping around, you'll find a walkable mountain path.  Follow it east, then press against the north side to find a hidden path going north.  Walk into the tree to find an area with Lynels and a big tree.  Burn the big tree, and proceed into the Big Island Sewerways.  At one point along the way, you will need to use the fire boomerang on a red goriya statue to proceed.}
Follow the sewerways until you come to a fork in the watery path, leading south and east.  Defeat the Patra to open the way, then head south.  Follow that path until you reach a heart piece sitting out in the open.

----------------
-- Underworld --
----------------
45. In the northwestern-most corner of the Underworld, there are 3 big different-colored trees with matching-colored bushes nearby.  Slash the bushes to get behind the big purple tree; a heart piece is hidden behind that tree.

46. In the upper left corner of the Desert Ravine area, you may notice on your overworld map some small rocks that form an arrow pointing left.  Follow that arrow to find a hidden lake of lava.  Defeat a group of Tektites and a heart piece will appear.

47. To the north of the Underworld entrance that the whirlpool on the Overworld leads to, there is a circle of stalagmites with a Triforce symbol in the middle.  Use the whistle while standing on the Triforce symbol to open a stairway leading to a heart piece.

48. Toward the middle of the bottom of the Underworld, you'll find a screen with blue Leevers, blue Lanmolas, a partially hidden warp tile, and a floor trigger.  Step on this trigger, then return to the Overworld and go to Harbor Town.  Go into the waterfall on the west and swim up it.  Continue west and down another waterfall.  At the bottom, there's a swim warp just below the outcrop of land. Go through it to get to that warp tile you saw in the Underworld.  Go east from there, and at the end you will battle a Gleeok and some blue Lanmolas.  Defeat them to obtain your heart piece.
NOTE: To easily get back to the rest of the Underworld, head north from there and step on a floor trigger to open the rock wall there.

49. Inside the ravine of the Desert Ravine area, you'll come to a skinny black chasm to the north.  Use your hookshot into the darkness and you'll enter a secret Hidden Cavern.  Beat the boss (a bunch of Bat Wizzrobes) and go down a ladder to find a heart piece.

------------------------
-- Lost Traveler Town --
------------------------
50. *SIDE-QUEST* Visit a large house in the middle of town; it belongs to a schoolgirl named TK.  Then, visit the Monster Village in the northeast end of the Underworld.  To the northwest, you'll find the cave of a tentacled monster named Giggidy who claims to know where Zelda is, but will only tell you if you bring him a schoolgirl.  Agree to find a schoolgirl by picking up the rope; then return to TK's house and kidnap her.  Take her to Giggidy and he won't keep his end of the bargain, so beat him up and return TK to her family.  Afterwards, TK's mom will leave you a heart piece in the kitchen as a token of her thanks for returning TK.

------------------------------
-- Death Mountain (Level 9) --
------------------------------
51. Once you have obtained mostly all items in the game, to include the Master Sword, Wand, Magic Book and Din's Fire, you will be able to find a heart piece in the basement of level 9.  Pay Ventus 200 rupess or a heart container (I prefer the rupees, myself) to find the right area.  After you get the Magic Key, use it on a nearby lock block and go down the stairs; you'll be able to open an area to the west.  Use the Master Sword, Wand, and Din's Fire (in that order) to get through these rooms and obtain the heart piece.

--------------------
-- Magic Key Maze --
--------------------
52. {The maze is located behind a giant gravestone in the graveyard in the White Woods.}
Pay the rupees to enter the maze.  Find the Boss Key and then go south from the entrance.  Go through a few more rooms and beat the boss (a Patra 3 and two blue Wizzrobes) to get the final heart piece.
