If anything is worth going out of your way to collect in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, aside from Echoes (of course), it’s Heart Pieces. More health means that Zelda can survive more hits, and that’s definitely something worth aiming for.

There are a total of 40 Heart Pieces to be found or obtained around Hyrule, with most coming from exploration while some are obtained through various side quests. Collecting four Heart Pieces will reward Zelda with an entire extra heart, allowing her to keep going for longer in battle.

The map above shows the location of every Heart Piece that’s possible to get in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and it can seem a little overwhelming at first glance. Let’s break this down area by area, so you can tick off all of the Heart Pieces as you explore the various biomes and areas of Hyrule.

Heart Pieces in Suthorn

There are a total of five Heart Pieces that can be gathered in the various parts of Suthorn. These are particularly useful, as Suthorn is the first area that Zelda gets the freedom to explore, and collecting all five of these Heart Pieces will give her an additional heart very early into the game.

Hyrule Field holds far more Heart Pieces than any other area in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, with a total of 13 up for grabs through exploration or completing various side quests. Some of the side quests that reward Heart Pieces won’t become unlocked until you’ve completed certain other quests.

Heart Pieces in the Gerudo Desert

With five Heart Pieces to be collected, mostly through exploration, the Gerudo Desert is a rich source of extra life for Zelda. Again, the side quest needed for one of these Heart Pieces unlocks later in the game, while the one obtained through Mango Rush might require some practice runs before you achieve the feat required.

The Heart Pieces in Jabul Waters are spread between Zora River Village and Zora Cove, so you’ll need to explore both if you want to unlock all of the hearts available in this watery biome.

Heart Pieces on Eldin Volcano

There are four Heart Pieces available on Eldin Volcano, and by the point you reach the fiery biome, you should have suitable Echoes to help you reach them. If not, these might be worth leaving until you’ve gathered more Echoes, such as the Flying Tile or Platboom Echoes.

Heart Pieces on Hebra Mountain

Once you’ve survived the initial cold ascent of Hebra Mountain, you’ll be able to freely explore and pick up the four Heart Pieces that are on offer there. Again, you’ll need some Echoes that can help you climb, such as a Crawltula or even Water Block Echoes.

Heart Pieces in the Faron Wetlands

Last but by no means least, you can get four Heart Pieces in the Faron Wetlands. If you’ve managed to make your way here before the game officially tells you to, you’ll only be able to find the two in caves near Heart Lake. The other two Heart Pieces will become obtainable after you’ve progressed the main story.
