Item directory

Piece of Heart — The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Heart Pieces

Search both worlds and revisit obstacles after finding new tools. Four pieces create a container, while boss rewards provide separate full containers.

Bottle

Bottles and magic

Bottles expand your options for carrying supplies. The magic-use upgrade improves how far the meter goes; it is a different reward from simply refilling magic.

Magic Cape — The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Optional equipment

Track sword, shield and capacity upgrades separately from mandatory dungeon tools. Some improvements depend on overworld quests rather than the next dungeon chest.

Quick notes

  • Mark which world contains the reward. A Piece of Heart can require a route through the other world even if the final pickup is in a familiar Light World area.
  • The original map has an edition scope. The SNES campaign includes its own heart, bottle and equipment collection, while the GBA release adds features tied to its adaptation and Four Swords.
