Twilight Princess Heart Pieces

twilight princess heart pieces

Wanting to collect all the Twilight Princess heart pieces scattered throughout Hyrule and the Twilight Realm? Our heart piece guide for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will help you out.

Some heart pieces we’ll acquire in dungeons so you’ll have the appropriate gear. However, in Twilight Princess if you are starting the heart piece side quest separately, do so before or after completing the Cave of Ordeals.
This Twilight Princess heart pieces guide will show how to get all 45 heart pieces, which will give you 9 heart containers.

This heart piece side quest is not mandatory to complete Twilight Princess, but does add 9 heart containers to your game making you that much more sustainable.

Twilight Princess Heart Pieces

Note: This guide is intended for you to find all 45 Twilight Princess Heart Pieces Locations. Keep in mind that I assume that you have all items acquired in the game (Double Clawshots, Ball and Chain, etc.). So if there comes a heart piece that you need one of these items for and you don’t have it, come back to it later after acquiring the necessary item. With that being said, enjoy, I’ve separated this by location, so have fun with your findings!

North Faron Woods in the Bog:

Twilight Princess Heart Piece Locations

1. Head to the cave that is located towards the North west part of this bog area (the one with purple mist.) In there, there are two torches, light them with your lantern and reveal a treasure chest that will hold a piece of heart.

Forest Temple:

2. Go into the chamber with the flowerish creatures, one of them guards a forested area. Toss a bombling into it’s mouth to destroy this foe. Doing so will cause a chest to appear which will contain a heart piece.
