Heart Pieces

Approaching an island across the Great Sea

There are 44 Pieces of Heart in The Wind Waker HD. Every four adds a heart to Link's life meter, so all 44 give you eleven extra hearts. Add the six Heart Containers from the dungeon bosses and Link goes from 3 hearts to a full 20. Many pieces are sunken treasure: you find the spot with a Treasure Chart, sail there and pull the chest up with the Grappling Hook. The Sea Hearts Chart and Island Hearts Chart mark every piece on your Sea Chart.

What Changed From the GameCube Version

  • Changed Savage Labyrinth: the chest at the bottom of the labyrinth on Outset Island holds the Hero's Charm in HD. The Piece of Heart that was there is now a sunken treasure at Two-Eye Reef, found with the new Treasure Chart 46.
  • Changed Withered trees: Forest Water now stays fresh for 30 minutes instead of 20.
  • The total is still 44, and every other piece is in the same place.

Outset Island and the Forsaken Fortress 3

  1. Orca's training: once you have the Hero's Sword, talk to Orca again and train with him. Land 500 hits without being hit three times.
  2. The big black pig: with the Power Bracelets and some All-Purpose Bait, carry the big pig across the bridge to the patches of dark soil, drop bait on one and let the pig dig. Try another patch if nothing turns up.
  3. Forsaken Fortress, first visit: after you escape from the jail cell and get the map, drop to the floor, clear away the barrels and step on the switch to make a chest appear.

Windfall Island 9

  1. Squid-Hunt: win Salvatore's sea battle game.
  2. Hide and seek: talk to Mrs. Marie at the School of Joy, then find the Killer Bees, the four boys around town, and win their game of hide and seek.
  3. Night auction: take part in the auctions at night in the building with the fancy door. The Piece of Heart comes up for sale after you have won some of the other items.
  4. Linda and Anton: with the Deluxe Picto Box, take a color picture of Linda, the woman in the orange dress, and show it to Anton. A couple of days later the pair are together and you get a Piece of Heart.
  5. Maggie's letter: after your second trip to the Forsaken Fortress, take Maggie's letter from her house, mail it, then bring her the reply.
  6. The merchant trades: start the trading chain with Zunari's Town Flower and trade with the merchants on Greatfish Isle, Bomb Island and Mother and Child Isles until the chain is done. Bring Rupees; the merchants charge fees.
  7. Decorating Windfall: buy trading goods from Zunari and place one on each of the 14 decoration spots around town, then talk to Sam on the bench.
  8. The ferris wheel: play the Wind's Requiem to make the wind blow north, climb the ladder on the side of the windmill and press the switch to set the ferris wheel turning. Talk to the man by the ferris wheel for a Piece of Heart.
  9. The lighthouse chest: with Fire Arrows, light the lamp at the top of the windmill. A chest appears on a little patch of land off the coast; set the wind toward it and glide down with the Deku Leaf.

Dragon Roost Island and the Postbox 3

  1. Mail sorting: sort 25 letters in the post office's mail-sorting game.
  2. Golden Feathers: give 20 Golden Feathers to the Rito guard on the second floor. A Piece of Heart arrives in the mail a little later. Peahats often drop Golden Feathers.
  3. A letter after the Forbidden Woods: after you clear the Forbidden Woods, check a postbox for a letter with a Piece of Heart.

Other Islands 14

  1. Pawprint Isle: crawl into the small dome, drop down the hole inside and open the chest.
  2. Greatfish Isle: climb the island, make the wind blow northwest and glide between the two halves of the island with the Deku Leaf to a chest on the cliff wall.
  3. Star Island: bomb the big rock, go down the hole underneath and defeat every enemy.
  4. Spectacle Island: win the cannon game (50 Rupees a try) by sinking the ships in 10 shots or fewer.
  5. Flight Control Platform: you need the bigger Magic Meter from the Great Fairy at Two-Eye Reef first. Glide with the Deku Leaf all the way to the banner at the finish, using the updrafts to stay up.
  6. Rock Spire Isle shop: after your first wallet upgrade, Beedle opens his shop ship at Rock Spire Isle. The Piece of Heart costs 950 Rupees.
  7. Rock Spire Isle warships: sink the warships near Rock Spire Isle and salvage what they leave; one of them holds a Piece of Heart.
  8. Six-Eye Reef: board the submarine southwest of the reef and defeat all the enemies inside.
  9. Needle Rock Isle: defeat the Kargarocs, then use a Hyoi Pear to fly a seagull onto the switch.
  10. Stone Watcher Island: sink the warships and cannons on the lookout platforms in this square, then climb up to the chest.
  11. Bomb Island: bomb the boulder on top of the island, go inside and use the Magtails to reach the Piece of Heart.
  12. Headstone Island: use a Hyoi Pear to fly a seagull onto the switch on the island.
  13. Angular Isles: push the blocks into place to climb to the top.
  14. Five-Star Isles: find the submarine in this square and defeat all the enemies inside.

The Withered Trees 1

  1. Changed Forest Water: talk to a Korok standing by one of the withered trees. Fill an empty bottle with Forest Water at the Forest Haven and water every withered tree before the water goes stale, then claim your Piece of Heart. In HD the water stays fresh for 30 minutes instead of 20.
