Twilight Princess Heart Piece Locations

Hey there, guide readers. You're probably coming here because you need to find some Heart Pieces in the game: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Well you're in luck! Here is the full listing of where all the Heart Pieces in Twilight Princess are, along with the ways to get them. A few things to note however, before you take off. This guide is formatted for the Wii version of the game. To those playing on the Gamecube, these directions are backwards because on the Gamecube, the game is mirrored. To avoid confusion, flip the directions around as if you are looking into a mirror (ex. left becomes right). Happy questing!

Heart Piece #1

Location: Ordon Village
Requirements: Epona
Yes, as a matter of fact, there is a heart piece in the very first place you come across! Unfortunately, you cannot get it until after you re-obtain Epona in Kakariko Village. Once you're in Ordon Village, head over to Fado (Link's old boss) in Ordon Ranch, and ask if you can herd the goats. After doing so, Fado should give you a shiny new heart piece.

Heart Piece #2

Location: Faron Woods
Requirements: Bombs, Rod of Dominion
Head to the house of the lantern salesman (or Coro, as he's formally known). Once there, you'll see a three way fork in the road. The far right path goes back the way you came, the middle path is blocked off by a rock, and the far left path leads to Hyrule field. Head down the middle path, and blow the rock blocking your way up with a bomb. You'll see a bird-like statue somewhere in the newly exposed area. Use your Dominion Rod to move the statue into a nearby niche in the ground, then transform into wolf form. Use Midna to jump atop the statue and beyond. Soon, you'll reach a ledge. Once you've landed on this ledge, walk forward until you enter a new area. Here, you'll find a chest. Open it to obtain a new heart piece!

Heart Piece #3

Location: Faron Woods
Requirements: Lantern
In the big field (later covered in purple mist), head to the cave at the northeast corner in which you found the key for the North Woods gate. Enter and you'll see two torches just asking to be lit. Pull out your lantern and do so. Once lit, the lanterns will reveal a hidden chest. Climb up and open it to find a heart piece! Congratulations!

Heart Piece #4

Location: Forest Temple
Requirements: None
You know those annoying carnivorous plants that'll eat you if you try to jump over them (Deku Likes)? Well one of them happens to be concealing a chest with a heart piece in it. When you enter the circular room with a wooden staircase, you'll see many of these plants. One of them appears to have a small room hidden behind it. Toss a spider bomb into its gaping mouth to make short work of it (you'll need to toss the bomb down a gap in the woodwork), enter the concealed room, and open the chest behind it. Now you have another heart piece!

Heart Piece #5

Location: Forest Temple
Requirements: Gale Boomerang
Your next heart piece lies in a room with two pillars, a tiled bridge with a small river flowing beneath it, and several subterranean creatures called "Tilepedes" that will attack you from below if you walk across the tile they're hiding under, attempting to knock you off your footing. These snake-like creatures hide beneath the tiles of the bridge and the floor beyond, and will only give a small sign that they are there hiding there. You have to look for a small head poking up from underneath a tile to see where the Tilepedes are. Use the gale boomerang to unearth them, and then use your sword to finish them off. After clearing the floor of these nasty foes, blow out the four torches in the room to reveal a chest with one of those crazy heart pieces we've been talking about inside.

Heart Piece #6

Location: Southern Hyrule Field
Requirements: Gale Boomerang
Near the southern end of the bridge in the southern area of Hyrule field, in a grove of trees, you'll see something rather shiny and red in the branches of the center tree. Yes, it's another heart piece. Pull out your Gale Boomerang to latch onto it and pull it towards you.

Heart Piece #7

Location: Kakariko Gorge Area
Requirements: Gale Boomerang
In the gorge, there is a tall rock formation with a sparkly heart piece on it. Pull out and use your Gale Boomerang to grab the Heart Piece.

Heart Piece #8

Location: Kakariko Gorge Area
Requirements: Bombs, Lantern
Towards the south western side of Kakariko gorge, you'll see a bombable wall. Blow it up to reveal a cave. Explore the cave, burning cobwebs with your lantern as you go, until you find a dead end with two torches on either side. Light them to reveal a chest with a heart piece in it!

Heart Piece #9

Location: Kakariko Gorge Area
Requirements: Double Clawshot
On a rock formation near the entrance of the Gorge area (the same one you pulled a heart piece off earlier), there is a spot you can latch onto with a clawshot. Do so and then latch onto some vines, then drop onto the ledge underneath them. Open the chest on the ledge and BOOM! Heart piece get!

Heart Piece #10

Location: Eldin Bridge Area
Requirements: Bombs, Clawshot
After leaving Kakariko Village from it's north exit, you will soon see a bombable rock on your right. Blow it up and then follow the path you just exposed, climbing up the face of the cliff, until you come to a gap. Use your clawshot to grapple onto vines on the other side of the gap, then climb up the vines until you've grabbed secure footing on the ledge above. Now, turn left and walk forward until you come to another gap. This time, jump down the gap. Now, walk forward until you find a chest. Open it for another heart piece.

Heart Piece #11

Location: Eldin Bridge Area
Requirements: Clawshot, Iron Boots, Bombs
On the north side of the bridge, you'll see a ledge. On this ledge, you'll see a spot you can latch onto with your clawshot. Do it and then drop down and follow a path to a cave, blowing up rocks as you go. Enter it, and you'll see an environment similar to the Goron mines, so navigate this place in the same way. Walk to the end of the ledge you're standing on, then jump off! In mid fall, put on your iron boots. You'll fall into a magnetic stream that will cause you to attach to a magnetic wall. Once here, walk to the floor. Then simply open a chest you'll find there for yet another heart piece.

Heart Piece #12

Location: Eldin Bridge Area
Requirements: Rod of Dominion
On Eldin Bridge, you'll see the south side has a tower with a ledge you can climb up on, but the ledge is too high up to reach and too far away from the bridge to jump to. Don't give up though! Getting to this tower is easier than it first seems! First though, you need to restore the bridge. To do this, head to Gerudo desert. There, you'll find a giant slab of rock that can be used as a bridge. Warp the rock to the Bridge of Eldin to restore it to its former glory! Then, head to the bridge's north end and find a bird-looking statue. Use your Dominion Rod to bring the statue all the way to the south end. Then, drop it onto the floor of the gap between the bridge and the tower, and use it as a platform to jump into the tower. Climb up the ladder in the tower and you'll find a chest with a heart piece in it at the top.

Heart Piece #13

Location: Eldin Bridge Area
Requirements: Spinner
North from Eldin Bridge, you'll cross a wooden bridge, and then you'll see a small path branching off leading to a spinner track.

In a field to the north of the castle, you'll see a river. Just above the river, there is a gray pathway sloping upward. Follow it until you see a vacant area with a bombable rock. Blow it up to reveal a frozen cave. Enter and destroy an ice wall with your ball and chain to reveal a slider puzzle (like those in the Snowpeak Ruins). Solve it to reveal another slider puzzle. Solve this one and you are greeted by yet another slider puzzle. After solving all three, go into the final room to grab your reward; a heart piece.

Heart Piece #16

Location: Kakariko Village
Requirements: Goron Mines Clear
After you've cleared the Goron Mines, climb to the top of Kakariko Village's watchtower using ladders and Gorons. Once you reach the top, talk to Talo (the little kid). This will trigger a target practice minigame. Upon completion, Talo will give you a Piece of Heart.

Near the howling stone and the ginormous tower up on a cliff (you'll need to climb a ladder to get there), look around for a bombable wall. Blow it up and enter the cave concealed behind it. Inside this cave, there's a long path leading to it's back. The entire cave is shrouded in darkness, so it's nearly impossible to navigate without your lantern. I recommend bringing at least one full bottle of Lantern oil, just in case. In every room, there are at least two bombable rocks, with one leading down further into the cave, and the other(s) typically concealing enemies or treasures. To quote Peppy Hare, you're going to need to 'use bombs wisely', on your trek through this cave, as not to waste them all. Be weary of the many enemies you'll encounter, and work your way to the back. Once there, you'll find several torches that need to be lit. Do so to reveal a chest with a heart piece in it.
