How to read the tables
- Child / Adult shows which age can collect it. “After Deku Tree” means you only need to have left Kokiri Forest.
- A + B means you need both. (A or B) means either one works.
- Items listed are the minimum for normal play, with no glitches. Adult entries assume you can already travel through time.

Tips for getting all 36
- Do the child-only ones early. The Skull Kid (Saria’s Song), the ocarina memory game in the Lost Woods and the child Fishing Pond prize are easy as soon as you leave the forest.
- Plant Magic Beans as a child. Buy beans from the salesman at Zora’s River and plant them in soft soil. Several adult Heart Pieces sit on ledges you can only reach on the grown bean platforms.
- Collect 50 Gold Skulltula tokens. The House of Skulltula in Kakariko gives a Piece of Heart for 50 tokens — see the Gold Skulltula checklist.
- Learn Sun’s Song and Song of Storms. One grave chest and the Frogs in the Rain both need them.
