Charts and sea treasure
Keep treasure charts distinct from the sea chart. A chart points toward a salvage opportunity, but you still need to reach the correct place and use the Grappling Hook.
Hearts and bottles
Mark completed island rewards on a personal checklist. Similar-looking islands are easier to track by their chart position than by memory alone.
Triforce hunt
Follow the GameCube edition’s chart-and-shard requirements. The HD release changes this hunt, so a mixed-edition checklist can send you looking for the wrong task.
Quick notes
- Chart status is worth three checkboxes. For each treasure, note chart obtained, chart interpreted or deciphered where needed, and chest salvaged.
- Heart upgrades and sea discoveries overlap. Some Pieces of Heart come through sea activities or optional quests, while others depend on land exploration and equipment.
