Heart Pieces

    
                               

Link starts Skyward Sword with six hearts. Each of the first six dungeon bosses leaves a Heart Container, and 24 Pieces of Heart (four make a heart) add six more. That gives you 18 hearts in all.

Heart Containers (6)

  1. Ghirahim (Skyview Temple)
  2. Scaldera (Earth Temple)
  3. Moldarach (Lanayru Mining Facility)
  4. Koloktos (Ancient Cistern)
  5. Tentalus (Sandship)
  6. Ghirahim (Fire Sanctuary)

Pieces of Heart from Goddess Chests (6)

Six Goddess Chests in the sky hold Pieces of Heart. Each chest opens when you strike its Goddess Cube on the surface. See the Goddess Cubes page for exactly where they are.

  1. The small island just west of Pumpkin Landing (cube outside the Skyview Temple entrance).
  2. The volcano-shaped island east of the Lanayru entrance (cube on top of the Great Tree in Faron Woods).
  3. The underwater passage in Skyloft's river, near Kukiel's house (cube near the sand slide in Eldin Volcano). You need the Water Dragon's Scale.
  4. Beedle's Island, above the cave (cube on the Temple of Time mine cart track in Lanayru Desert).
  5. The top of the waterfall island in Skyloft (cube above the door after the Pirate Stronghold in the Sand Sea).
  6. Bug Rock, the southwest edge of the island in the Thunderhead (cube in the waterfall area of the Volcano Summit).

Skyloft and the Sky (7)

  1. The Lumpy Pumpkin's chandelier: on Pumpkin Landing, go upstairs in the Lumpy Pumpkin and roll into the railing until the chandelier falls.
  2. The Lumpy Pumpkin's owner: help the owner out first. Deliver Hot Pumpkin Soup to Knight Commander Eagus, help carry pumpkins, and then, once you have the Goddess's Harp, perform with Kina at night.
  3. Fun Fun Island High Dive: once you've returned Dodoh's missing party wheel, play the dive game and get a perfect score by flying through all the bonus rings.
  4. Batreaux: his reward for 10 Gratitude Crystals.
  5. Beedle's Airshop: buy it for 1,600 Rupees, or for 800 after you've found Beedle's missing beetle.
  6. Zelda's room: at night, climb the vines on the south side of the Knight Academy to the chimney, use the Clawshots to get in, and drop down into Zelda's room. The Piece of Heart is in her cabinet.
  7. The Sparring Hall pumpkin game: after helping Fledge with his Stamina Potions, score 600 points in his Pumpkin Pull archery game.

Faron (4)

  1. Sealed Grounds: later in the game, Gorko asks you to show him what's behind a Goddess Wall. Play the harp at the Blessed Butterflies to make a Goddess Wall appear, draw an item on it, and Gorko gives you a Piece of Heart.
  2. Faron Woods, by the Great Tree: cross the tightrope to the platform on the far side.
  3. Faron Woods, the rock cave: once you have Bombs, blow up the rock blocking the small cave.
  4. Skyview Temple: in the round room, a cage holds a chest. Fly the Beetle in and hit the crystal switch on the back of the statue.

Eldin (3)

  1. Eldin Volcano: on the upper ledges near the bone bridge. No special item needed.
  2. Fire Sanctuary: a Mogma keeps re-hitting a gate switch. Chase him down and catch him for a chest with a Piece of Heart.
  3. Volcano Summit: outside the Fire Sanctuary, dig with the Mogma Mitts beside the Gossip Stone to a hidden room with a chest.

Lanayru (4)

  1. Lanayru Desert: bomb the cracked wall in the northeast and follow the secret path.
  2. The Sandship: Clawshot up to the far beam at the stern and drop down to a hidden chest.
  3. The Shipyard's mine cart course: finish the Goron's Heart-Stopping course in under 1 minute 5 seconds.
  4. The Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round: after the Song of the Hero quest, beat four bosses in a row in the Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round in Lanayru Gorge, then quit.
