In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom you can find a total of 40 Pieces of Heart. Each four Pieces of Heart are automatically assembled into an additional Heart Container. All 40 finds together increase your health by ten complete hearts. Because Hyrule can be explored very openly early on, there is no single correct collection order. We therefore sort the Echoes of Wisdom Pieces of Heart by region. For Pieces of Heart from Side Quests, mini-games or optional dungeons, we also state the necessary prerequisites and link directly to the appropriate solution.
If you are looking for other collector’s items in addition to the Pieces of Heart, you will also find all Might Crystals, stamps, Fairy Bottles, equipment and all echoes in the Notebook.
Use numbers and requirements correctly
The heart part numbers on this page apply to the regional overview. The main chapters sometimes lead you to the same finds in a different order. Therefore, always compare the location, not just the number. Two Pieces of Heart are among the completion milestones in Slumber Dojo; four more come from bosses of the optional dungeons. A Piece of Heart from a side boss is not a whole Heart Container.
