Heart Pieces inThe Legend of Zeldagames have been a staple reward since the very first title, with each newHeart Containerallowing Link to attempt more difficult battles with greater ease and destroy the evil Ganon once and for all. Or, at the very least, until he is inevitably resurrected in the next game.

WhileLink’s Awakeningsteers clear of many common aspects of theZeldaseries, such as the Master Sword, Ganon, and even Princess Zelda herself, it retains many of the same items found throughout Hyrule, including Heart Pieces. In the 2019 remake, however, Nintendo decided that12 Heart Pieceswasn’t nearly enough and added a whopping 21 more to the game.
17Heart Piece #1 & 2
Inside the Trendy Game house in Mabe Village, there is a Heart Piece that can be grabbed by the claw machine if Link has enough Rupees. This is a relatively easy game once players get a handle on how the claw works, though if they run out of money to pay for the game, there are many grass patches just outside the house that will drop Rupees so they can try again. After completing the Key Cavern, a second Heart Piece will appear in the game house for players to grab, though they will need to have cleared the remaining Mario toys and Seashells first.
16Heart Piece #3
In the Town Tool Shop in Mabe Village is another relatively easy Heart Piece, though it may take some grinding to buy as it costs a rather steep 200 Rupees. Like with the claw mini-game, there are many grass patches to be cut down to find the town’s collective loose change so Link can buy this one.
15Heart Piece #4
The originalLink’s Awakeninghad the fishing mini-game Heart Piece, but the remake is sneaky and adds one more. Unlike the original, Link is given a Heart Piece for simply catching any fish, rather than needing a larger one as he did the first time he landed on Koholint Island.
14Heart Piece #5 (Roc’s Feather Required)
In the Tabahl Wasteland is a spooky area full of very dead trees and someirritated birdswho like to swoop down and attack Link. Hidden away in the top right corner of this area is a Heart Piece.
13Heart Piece #6 (Power Bracelet Required)
To the East of Mabe Village in Ukuku Prairie, there is a cave littered with large rocks and skulls that Link can lift and move once players have obtained the Power Bracelet.

If players mess up the configuration, leaving the cave and re-entering again will reset the rocks so they can try again.
12Heart Piece #7
On the North-East side of the Ukuku Prairie, there is a hut shaped like a seashell, appropriately named the Seashell Mansion. Once Link has collected fiveSecret Seashellshidden around Kohlint Island, he will be gifted a Heart Piece from the mansion.
11Heart Piece #8 (Pegasus Boots Required)

10Heart Piece #9
Behind Animal Village is a Heart Piece obstructed by some trees, though it can be seen from the area immediately North. To reach this Piece, go around the outside edge from the right-hand side then head as far to the left as is possible to pick it up.

8Heart Piece #11 (Pegasus Boots, Roc’s Feather, & Flippers Required)
In Martha’s Bay, just south of the mermaid statue, there is a stairway surrounded by potholes and grass. Using the Pegasus Boots to make the distance, cut the grass just before landing so Link doesn’t fall in the hole, then traverse the cave to find the Heart Piece.
