Collectibles and completion
Optional discoveries, useful collections and completion goals in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
Spoiler notice: This guide discusses story progression or late-game content.
Original SNES release; Game Boy Advance additions are outside this guide.
Heart Pieces
Search both worlds and revisit obstacles after finding new tools. Four pieces create a container, while boss rewards provide separate full containers.
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.
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.
Use the edition note above when comparing a checklist with another release. Story completion, collecting and platform achievements are separate goals.
