Hearts

You begin with 3 hearts. The ten Heart Containers add 10 and the 28 Pieces of Heart add 7, because four Pieces make one heart. That makes 20 hearts, the maximum. The Heart Piece Locations page explains how to reach each one.

Heart Container

The 10 Heart Containers

One Heart Container drops from each of the ten dungeon bosses, and none from Hyrule Castle, Lorule Castle or the Sanctuary.

Lost Maiamai

There are 100 Lost Maiamai, 50 in Hyrule and 50 in Lorule. Return them to Mother Maiamai in her cave beside Lake Hylia; the Maiamai Locations page lists every one. The Maiamai Map in the game counts how many are left in each region.

Lost Maiamai

Maiamai by region

The Maiamai Map splits the 100 into 16 regions.

  • Hyrule, 50 in total: Death Mountain 5, Desert 3, Eastern Ruins 6, Hyrule Castle 8, Kakariko Village 5, Lake Hylia 5, Lost Woods 8, Sanctuary and Zora’s Domain 7, Southern Ruins 3
  • Lorule, 50 in total: Dark Ruins 10, Death Mountain 6, Graveyard 3, Lorule Lake 5, Misery Mire 3, Skull Woods 8, Thieves’ Town and Lorule Castle 15
Mother Maiamai

Maiamai rewards

Every 10 Maiamai buy one Nice upgrade for a tool you bought from Ravio, because rented tools cannot be upgraded. Choose the order yourself; each tool can be upgraded once.

  • Nice BowNice Bow
  • Nice BombNice Bomb
  • Nice BoomerangNice Boomerang
  • Nice HookshotNice Hookshot
  • Nice Fire RodNice Fire Rod
  • Nice Ice RodNice Ice Rod
  • Nice Tornado RodNice Tornado Rod
  • Nice HammerNice Hammer
  • Nice Sand RodNice Sand Rod

Once the nine upgrades are done, the last 10 Maiamai earn the Great Spin, a stronger spin attack. That brings the total to 100.

Master Ore

Four chunks of Master Ore hide in Lorule, two for each Master Sword upgrade. See the Master Ore Locations for the routes.

The Blacksmith in Hyrule turns the Master Sword into Lv2 for the first two chunks. The Blacksmith in Lorule makes it Lv3 for the other two. A single chunk earns only a reminder.

Bottles

You can own five Bottles, and each comes from a different source. The Bottle Locations page has the details.

  1. BottleThe Street Merchant in Kakariko Village, for 100 Rupees
  2. BottleThe Bird Lover under the bridge east of Link’s House, free once you can swim
  3. BottleThe Letter in a Bottle quest, which ends with the Premium Milk delivery on Death Mountain
  4. BottleThe chest in the Vacant House in Lorule, behind a wall that you blow open with a Bomb
  5. BottleThe Great Rupee Fairy in Lorule, after 3,000 Rupees in donations
