Ocarina of Time Remake Heart Pieces: All 36 Locations Checklist

Ocarina of Time Remake on Switch 2 keeps the 36 Pieces of Heart of the original, but several sit in new places or need a different trick. Four pieces make one Heart Container, so the full set adds nine hearts. Add your three starting hearts and the eight Heart Containers from dungeon bosses and you reach the maximum of 20. The order of the dungeons is on the walkthrough hub.

How do you use this checklist?

The numbers are this site’s own and stay the same on every page that mentions a piece. The Needs column lists the age, items, songs and rupees; “child” or “adult” is the age to go as, and no age note means either age works. Pieces #14, #25 and #29 are new spots in the remake, so if you ticked them while following the old list, check them again.

A few things unlock large groups at once:

• Cuccos. Carrying a Cucco lets you glide, and the remake uses this for the Kakariko rooftop, two Zora River pieces and both Gerudo Valley pieces.
• Magic Beans. Buy them from the bean seller on Zora River as a child and plant them in soft soil. Five pieces are reached by riding the grown plants as an adult. See the Magic Beans guide for the planting spots.
• Fairy thoughts. Navi now stops by some trees and walls to read what another fairy once thought. Two of these, read as an adult, unlock pieces you then collect as a child: a password for a Business Scrub and a chest whose lock was left undone.
• Rupees. Two Business Scrubs sell a piece for 100 rupees each, and the wallet upgrades make that easy.

Each area’s map screen also shows a Heart Piece counter.
