All Piece of Heart Locations In Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

One of the tried-and-true staples of The Legend of Zelda are Pieces of Heart, collectibles that boost your maximum health when you collect four of them. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has 40 Pieces of Heart, and here’s how to find every one.

Every Piece of Heart Location And How To Get Them In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

From the first hour of the game, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom will present players with Pieces of Heart and how important they are. Given that, much like other recent series entries like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, enemies can hit for several hearts at a time, having a huge pool of health is almost necessary as the game progresses. While you will come across seven Heart Containers after defeating bosses, the remaining 10 need to be assembled by gathering four Pieces of Heart each.

For this walkthrough, we’ll lay out where to find each Piece of Heart and how we were able to acquire them. Some Pieces of Heart can only be accessed after a key event in the game, so we’ll be sure to mention that when it happens. Also, given the open nature of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, this list shows the order that we found them in our initial playthrough, so take a look at our walkthrough to see the path that we took to reach the end of the game. With that in mind, here’s every Piece of Heart location in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom!
