                     ----Update Version 1.00 [Cmplt]----

                       -----------11/25/11------------
Completed the Gratitude Crystal FAQ 2 days ago, so you can also check that out
but I decided on the Heart Piece guide today. Collecting the Heart Pieces as
you go, much like other Zelda games, is very hard to do, and most times require
returning at the end of the game or near so to collect them. I'm not 100% sure
what points in the game you can acquire each individual heart as I gathered
them at the end, but I will add which items/weapons are required or used to
obtain each heart. I hope that helps and I hope you enjoy my guide!

                   ----Update Version 1.10 [Modified]----

Noticed I missed a Heart Piece found in a Goddess Cube in Eldin Volcano and was
advised by multiple sources that the Heart Piece found in the Skyview Temple
could be obtained with the standard Beetle and didn't require the Tough Beetle.
Also updated the Eldin Volcano Heart Piece as apparently it wasn't "in the
open" enough for a couple people. Fixed a numbering error as well. Thanks for
all the feedback guys, once I have access to internet again I will be starting
a Walkthrough Commissioned FAQ next. Find anymore errors please feel free to
contact me!

*Note that I didn't have a proofreader on this FAQ like I did the Gratitude
Crystal FAQ, this is why there were multiple errors.


                     ==================================

                     ==================================


The Heart Pieces in Skyward Sword are all scattered around the world from in
the sky, to under the clouds, to in Goddess chests which you must find and
activate, then finally minigames and character rewards.

The Heart Pieces are extremely helpful in this game unless you are either very
good with your shield like me, or if you have loads of time to earn money and
gather bugs for Guardian Potions +'s especially in the Hero Mode replay where
everything does double damage.

If you require any further help or a description on something, don't hesitate
to send me an email at .

the map.

Chest icon on the map.
    
5) Requirements: Goddess Sword or higher, and the Clawshot

waterfall. Once there head to a Bird Statue to return to the sky and travel to
the new Goddess Chest icon on your map to claim your Heart Piece.

6) Requirements: Goddess Sword or higher

Drop to the Earth Temple on Eldin Volcano and travel up the mountain to the

a Skyward Strike and return to the sky to travel to the new Goddess Chest icon

               ==============================================

If you haven't noticed already, after collecting all of these Heart Pieces,
you're still 2 Hearts short of your max 20 Heart collection. This is because in
Skyward Sword, they decided to add 2 Life Medallions into the game which each
add one heart to your max hit points as long as you carry them in your
inventory.

The first Medal can be purchased from Beedle at his AirShop for 800 rupees.

The second Medal is found in a Goddess Chest. To activate the chest you must
hit the Goddess Cube in the Southwest Lanaryu Desert next to a cactus. Travel
back to the sky to retain your prize.
