Where to Find Every Heart Piece in Echoes of Wisdom

As someone who’s spent countless hours exploring Hyrule and its many mysteries, I must say that The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has truly outdone itself with its intricate and engaging Heart Pieces hidden throughout Faron Wetlands.

Heart Pieces and Heart Containers are some of the most important items in the entire history of The Legend of Zelda. Finding these coveted items is deeply ingrained in the series’ DNA. Because of this, there was never any doubt that Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom would continue the long-standing ‘classic Zelda-game’ tradition of collecting four Heart Pieces to earn a new Heart Container. This guide will show players where to find all 40 Heart Pieces in Echoes of Wisdom.

Heart Pieces and Heart Containers in Echoes of Wisdom, Explained

Where to Find Every Heart Piece in Echoes of Wisdom

In “The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom,” there are a total of 40 Heart Pieces. By collecting these pieces through exploration, side-quests, and minigames, you can obtain up to 10 Heart Containers. Zelda gains 7 Heart Containers by conquering the seven main dungeons in “Echoes of Wisdom.” Initially, she starts with 3 containers, so her maximum health level is capped at a total of 20 Heart Containers.

As a gamer, I simply gather four Heart Pieces, and magically, a new Heart Container appears without me having to do anything extra. To keep track of my current Heart Pieces, I just need to take a peek at the status screen.

4. Suthorn Prairie Heart Piece:

In the Suthorn Prairie, north of Suthorn Village, you’ll encounter a section with nine pillars that look like they are from ancient ruins. There will be a heart piece on the central pillar. Use Old-Beds stacked up to reach the pillar. Use the trees on the eastern side of the pillars as a stepping stone to reach the top of the pillars, then use Old-Beds to reach the center.

5. Suthorn Forest Cave Heart Piece:

In the cave east of Suthorn Village, you’ll notice the Heart Piece on a high ledge above the entrance area. Head through the cave, and you’ll be able to get the piece before you leave the cave.

6. An Out There Zol Heart Piece

This Heart Piece is given as a reward for completing “An Out There Zol.” This side quest is the follow-up to “A Curious Child.” You must complete the first quest, and the “Still MIssing” main quest to unlock “An Out There Zol.” This quest will also require you to have access to Echoes of Wisdom‘s Automaton crafting mechanic at Dampé Studio. Craft the Gizmol at Dampé Studio, then bring it to the child in Hyrule Castle Town to collect this Heart Piece.

7. Hyrule Ranch Flag Course Heart Piece:

Once you have unlocked Zelda’s Horse in “Impa’s Gift,” you can visit Hyrule Ranch with the horse to access the flag course. You must pass the Medium level course to collect this Heart Piece.

11. Let’s Play a Game Eastern Temple Heart Piece:

To the east of Lake Hylia, you will encounter a large structure called the Eastern Temple. When you approach the entrance, there will be an NPC with a quest marker over his head. Speak to him to begin the “Let’s Play a Game” side-quest. Make your way through the Eastern Temple until you reach Smog, the temple’s final boss. Smog will drop a Heart Piece upon defeat.

In the northeastern corner of Hyrule Field, to the west of Hyrule Castle, you’ll find a series of pilars among ancient ruins. The Heart Piece is found on the northeastern pillar. You can use any number of Echoes to reach the piece, but we found Old-Bed’s work best during the early-game.

If you head west from the large boulder Heart Piece (#14), you’ll find a cave almost immediately. Heading into the cave, you’ll see a Heart Piece behind two boulders in a very narrow passage. While you can use Bind to move the boulders, there is a much easier way to get this piece if you have the Holmill Echo. Just above the entrance to the cave, you’ll see a small patch of bare dirt. Summon the Holmill at that spot, and they will dig a hole that you can fall in, landing directly behind the Heart Piece.

The final Heart Piece in Central Hyrule can be found in a small cave along the southwestern border of Hyrule Field and the Eternal Forest. If you follow the border east from Kakariko Village, you shouldn’t miss the cave. Once inside, you’ll notice that the Heart Piece cannot be collected from within the cave. Instead, you’ll have to head to the ledge above the entrance, where you’ll find a bare patch of dirt. Use a Holmill Echo to dig a hole, then fall into it. You will drop directly into the chamber containing the Heart Piece.

All Heart Pieces in Jabul Waters – Echoes of Wisdom

In Jabul Waters, a vast region encompassing both river and sea Zora, there are five essential artifacts known as Heart Pieces. Let’s begin our tour from the southern part and head towards the north.

19. The Wrecked Ship Heart Piece

Like the Eastern Temple, the Wrecked Ship is a self-contained mini-dungeon. To get inside, you’ll need to make your way on deck, then use Bind to pull the rear hatch open. This leads to a multi-chamber dungeon, culminating in a boss fight with an unnamed (not displayed, at least) miniboss. Defeating this miniboss results will earn Zelda a single Heart Piece.

20. Zora Cove Cave Heart Piece

Just north of the Wrecked Ship, you’ll find a cave in the rock wall that separates Zora Cove from the rest of Hyrule. At the end of the cave, you’ll come to a chamber with multiple lit braziers.

21. Eastern Zora Cove Underwater Heart Piece

For this Heart Piece, you have to make your way to the eastern reaches of Zora Cove, just to the southwest of the small island where you’ll find the Stamp Rally.

Zelda can claim a Heart Piece for harvesting all 70 mangoes in the Ultimate Seed challenge. The Mango Rush minigame is located in the tent on the northern side of the Gerudo Oasis. If you are struggling to get all 70, make sure you use the Dancing Outfit, which is the reward for collecting 60 mangoes in the Ultimate Seed challenge. It will make your spinning attacks have greater range.

25. Wild Sandstorms Heart Piece

To collect this Heart Piece, you must complete the “Wild Sandstorms” side-quest. This quest can be somewhat tricky to find, so follow these steps:
First, defeat both Lanmola in the Gerudo Desert. These massive worm-like enemies are found only in sand storms. When in a sandstorm, look for sand swirling up from the ground, and you’ll know you’ve found a Lanmola.
Once both Lanmola are defeated, head to Gerudo Palace. When you go inside, do not go up the main stairs. Instead, go through the left exit into the guard’s training grounds. There will be a guard there who will begin the quest. There is one more Lanmola that must be defeated.
This Lanmola can be found to the east of the Oasis, in a sandstorm.
Defeating the final Lanmola will earn you a Heart Piece.
Return to the guards to get the Golden Sash from Lady Facette.

26. Gerudo Town Secret Cave Heart Piece

Inside Gerudo Town, head to the large brick wall that is directly behind the palace. The best place to go is to the right of the palace entrance. From there, use Water Blocks to reach the top of the brick structure. On top, you will find a secret opening. Inside the cave, make your way to the beneath the falling platforms until you reach a section blocked by boxes. You’ll need to use Bind to pull one of the falling platforms over to the section with boxes, then let the platform crush the boxes. Next, you’ll see a section blocked by a large boulder. Use Bind while riding the platform to lift the large boulder out of the way. This will clear a path for you to reach the Heart Piece.

Inside the cave you’ll find Darston, the Goron leader.

Make your way through the cave until you reach a section with multiple Needleflies above the water line. This is where you want to use Water Blocks to make your way out of the water and up the ledge. This will take you to the Armos, which you can defeat by using Bind to turn it around, then attacking its back. The Heart Piece will now be available to you.

38. Pitch-Black Cave Heart Piece

If you head south into the central section of Faron Wetlands, you’ll see a river that makes a slight L-shape into a wall.
