- Watch what she drops! Sometimes, purely by chance, she’ll drop a Piece of Heart.
- If you see it, snag it fast before she does! Maple always goes for the rarest stuff first.
Notes: This one’s totally random, so keep bumping into Maple! Equipping Maple’s Ring seriously cuts down the grind.
Gasha Nut Reward
Location: Any Gasha Tree you grow.
Requirements: Gasha Seeds, Shovel, finding Soft Soil spots.
Time Period: Plant in Past/Present, harvest in either.
When Accessible: Anytime after you start finding Gasha Seeds and Soft Soil.
How to Get It:
- Use your Shovel on suspicious patches of ground to find hidden Soft Soil locations throughout Labrynna.
- Plant a Gasha Seed in one of these spots.
- Go defeat a bunch of enemies (more kills = better/faster nut growth; the Gasha Ring helps too).
- Come back later, and a Gasha Tree with a Gasha Nut should have grown.
- Harvest the Gasha Nut (walk up and press A).
- Cross your fingers! Inside the nut, there’s a random chance you’ll get a Piece of Heart.
Notes: Another random one! Planting seeds in hard-to-reach or well-hidden Soft Soil spots (like the one near the Tokay Statue on Past Crescent Island) supposedly gives you a better shot at rare items like this Heart Piece. Good luck!
Keep at it, explore everywhere, and master time travel! Snagging all 12 Pieces of Heart, plus the full containers from bosses, will make Link tough enough to take down Veran and save Labrynna!
