If you've played Zelda: Ocarina of Time, you will be rather familiar with
the heart pieces in the game. Well, they are back in Zelda: Majora's Mask, and
this section tells you were to find them all. Here's the lowdown: Link's life
meter is composed of hearts. There are 2 ways to increase your life meter, you
can either: a.) collect a total of 4 heart pieces which make up 1 container, OR
b.) collect a heart container after defeating a boss. 4 Heart Pieces make up
1 Heart Container, and each heart container increases your life meter by one
heart. Of course, the REAL challenge is to beat the game with only 3 hearts,
but that's only for gamers who are very skilled with the game.
Heart Pieces are found in several places, sometimes they are hidden,
sometimes they are visible, sometimes you have to do a certain action or
talk to a certain person to get one, some of them require lots of work, while
others are very easy to collect. In the pause menu, you can see how many heart
pieces you have currently collected. Every 4 heart pieces will make your life
meter increase by 1 heart. After defeating a dungeon boss (not mini-boss) you
will automatically gain a heart container (4 heart pieces put together in 1
container) and your life meter will increase by 1 heart.
| 1. | Go over to the area where you got the map in the beginning of the game. You
will notice a tree with a Heart Piece in the center of it. Using the boxes
and platforms near the tree, jump over to collect it. |
| 2. | In the main part of town (where the Clock Tower is) give the Deku Merchant
the Moon's Tear in exchange for the Land Title Deed, then, as Deku Link, use
the launcher to get up to the small ledge on the tower, where you will
collect the heart piece. |
| 3. | On the left side of town, visit the room with a man sitting on a platform.
Pay him 10 rupees to play the log-chopping game, and chop all of the logs
that appear by using overhead/jumping attacks. If you score at least 30, you
get the heart piece. |
| 4. | Collect 5,000 rupees from the many bushes outside of Clock Town, then take
them back and deposit them into your account (via the banker on the left
side of town) and once you have 5,000 in your account, you will be rewarded
with the Heart Piece. |
| 5. | Once you receive the Bunny Hood, use it to chase the postman all around
Clock Town, until he stops at his house. Play the game with him, and if you
stop the clock on exactly 10 seconds, you will receive a Heart Piece for it. |
| 6. | Once you gain the Kamaro's Mask, wear it in front of the dancing twins at
night in Clock Town. Press B in front of them to teach them a new dance and
gain the Heart Piece. |
| 7. | Go to the north part of Clock Town (where you bought the map) and, while
wearing the Keaton Mask, chop up the bushes near the slide and you will
summon Keaton. Answer 5 of his random questions (Answers in Side Quests
section) and you'll get the heart piece. |
| 8. | Once you get the Don Gero Mask, use it to talk to the 5 frogs in the game,
located in:
- Clock Town: Near the tree at the Laundry Pool.
- Woodfall Temple: After defeating Gekko, he will turn into a frog.
- The Swamp: After finishing the Woodfall Temple, you will find this
frog on a log near the potion hut.
- Stone Tower Temple: Defeat Gekko again to turn him into a frog.
- Mountain Village: The last frog will be here with the other 4 after
you speak to the above 4 and you will get the heart piece from it. |
| 9. | Take the Land Title Deed you got from the Deku Merchant in Clock Town to
the Inn on the right side of town after 12:00 AM on any day. Use the Deku
Launcher to get to the roof of the Inn, and go through the door to enter
it, then head down the stairs and find a hand. Give it the Land Title Deed
to get another Land Title Deed along with the heart piece. |
| 12. | While going through the swamp (on the way to the Deku Palace) you will see
a tree with a heart piece on it. Climb it using the vines to collect the
Heart Piece. |
| 13. | After you get the Land Title Deed from the Inn in Clock Town, take it to
the Deku Merchant next to the Photo Hut in the swamp, and he will give you
another Land Title Deed, and then fly off. Use the Deku Launcher to launch
up to the roof of the Photo Hut where you'll find the heart piece. |
| 14. | After defeating Odolwa, go back to the photo hut and talk to Kotake as
normal Link, she will challenge you to a game of archery. Shoot at least
30 targets before the boat ride is over to gain the Heart Piece. |
| 15. | Using your Pictograph Box, take a picture of the Deku King in the Deku
Palace, and bring it back to the owner of the Photo Hut. He will reward you
with the heart piece. |
| 19. | Go to the 2nd area of Great Bay and fire your hookshot on the palm trees on
each platform. Go up to the top and through the opening, then dive into the
water as Zora Link. Sink down, talk to the beaver, and he will race you
through 20 rings. If you go through them all before the time is up, you can
race his brother through 25 rings and get a bottle if you make it. Race
them both again and win to get the heart piece. |
| 21. | Head over to the 2nd area of Great Bay, and dive down where the waterfall
is. Kill the skeleton fish followed by the blob to get the heart piece. |
| 22. | In the Gold Skulltulla House #2 side quest, go into the room with colored
skeleton masks, and shoot them 6 times, in a specific order. It's random
every time, so I can't tell you the order, you'll just have to use trial
and error until you get it right. Once done, go through the opening and get
the heart piece from the treasure chest. |
