As the first truly 3D Zelda game, Ocarina of Time holds a special place in many gamers' hearts as both their favorite Zelda game as well as their favorite game of all time. With it being held in such high standing, it's no wonder that people keep coming back to play it even 20 years after its release.
The move to the third dimension brought with it even more Heart Pieces than its predecessors, with a grand total of 36 found scattered across the game for an additional nine Heart Containers on top of those won through boss battles. Today, we're going to find them all.
36 Heart Piece 1
In LonLon Ranch, head behind the horse track and into the building full of cows. Move the boxes around to access the back corner wall, where a small hole is hidden that you can crawl through. Inside is the first Heart Piece.
35 Heart Piece 2
In Hyrule Market at night, find the woman's lost dog and she will give you a Heart Piece. The correct dog should spawn on the left side of the screen once you enter the market from Hyrule Field, under the man looking out a window. Take the dog to the right-hand side down the alleyway, and into the door ahead - not the one on the left.
34 Heart Piece 3
In the Lost Woods, in the same room as the Slingshot mini-game, head down the ladder and stand on the weirdly shaped log at the other end. Complete the Skull Kids' ocarina game and they will give you a Heart Piece.
33 Heart Piece 4
In the Graveyard, play Dampe's grave digging game for a chance to dig up a Heart Piece. The piece should spawn directly in front of a gravestone.
32 Heart Piece 5 (Saria's Song Required)
Once you have Saria's Song, head into the Lost Woods where there are two stumps, one very tall and one much shorter. Play the song for the Skull Kid and he will give you the Heart Piece.
31 Heart Piece 6 (Zelda's Lullaby and Sun Song Required)
In the Graveyard, one of the smaller gravestones is hiding a hole in the ground, which contains a Gibdo. Play the Sun Song where it is standing to spawn a chest, which contains the Heart Piece.
30 Heart Piece 7
In Death Mountain on top of the dungeon entrance is a Heart Piece that is normally unreachable until you get the Master Sword. However, you can Z-Lock with your back facing the bombs and backflip over the ledge to get it much sooner.
29 Heart Piece 8 (Goron Bracelet or Bomb Bag Required)
In Goron City, light all of the torches to get the giant vase in the center to start spinning around on the floor. Throw bombs or bomb fruit inside it while it's spinning and it will spit out some Rupees and a Heart Piece.
28 Heart Piece 9 (Dodongo's Cavern Beaten)
After being sent to the top of Death Mountain, there will be a room behind the owl that you can't last long inside without the adult Goron Tunic. However, there's nothing stopping you from running inside and getting the Heart Piece over the ledge before grabbing the Master Sword. Just fall down and catch yourself on the wall to reach it faster.
27 Heart Piece 10
From the top of Death Mountain, get the owl to carry you back down to Kakariko Village and he will drop you on top of a building.
Instead of jumping off anywhere, go to the side with the Cucco girl to reach the previously out of reach ledge. Go through the hole in the wall to get the Heart Piece.
26 Heart Piece 11 (Bomb Bag Required)
After getting the Bomb Bag, you can now do the Bomchu Bowling Alley mini-game in Hyrule Market. One of the randomized prizes is a Heart Piece.
25 Heart Piece 12
Using the Cucco found around Zora River, navigate around to the back of the tall rock formation and climb the ladder, where a second Cucco is waiting for you. Use it to glide down to the out of reach Heart Piece.
24 Heart Piece 13
Just before the entrance to Zora's Domain is an out of reach Heart Piece. Carry a Cucco on your way up to reach it.
23 Heart Piece 14
In Zora's Domain, light all of the torches to spawn a hidden chest containing a Heart Piece behind the waterfall.
22 Heart Piece 15
In Gerudo Valley, grab a Cucco and fly off of the right-hand ledge towards the waterfall. There is a hidden slot in the wall containing a Heart Piece.
21 Heart Piece 16
In the same place as the last piece, grab a Cucco and fly off of the left-hand side, towards the wooden crate on a ledge. Roll into it to break it to reveal the Heart Piece.
20 Heart Piece 17
In the Fishing Pond, catch a fish weighing at least 10 pounds and the clerk will give you a Heart Piece.
19 Heart Piece 18 (Bombs and Deku Shield Required)
In Hyrule Field place a bomb in the center of the gated access to Lake Hylia and drop down the hole. Use the Deku Shield to deflect the Deku merchant's nuts and he will offer to sell you a Heart Piece for the trouble.
18 Heart Piece 19 (Magic Bean Required)
Plant a Magic Bean in the corner of the Graveyard as Young Link, then return as an adult to ride the plant up to the ledge. Break the box to reveal the Heart Piece.
17 Heart Piece 20 (Magic Bean Required)
In Lake Hylia, plant a magic bean as Young Link next to the researcher's lab, then return as an adult to climb to the top of the building and reach the Heart Piece.
