Heart Containers - Guide for The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time

Throughout the game, Link can collect heart containers to increase his energy meter 
to fill it up to a total of 20 hearts. Heart pieces come in either _ pieces or full 
heart containers. By completing each dungeon and defeating the boss, you can get a 
full heart container. As for the 36 other heart pieces… well that’s where we come 
in. Below is a listing of all of the heart pieces in the game, where to find them, 
and how to get them… in a somewhat linear order.

*Note: the seed dealer is located at Zora’s River as a child.
