Stand in the shallows and use the Magic Mirror to be transported back to the Light World. Take the Piece of Heart that you find on top of the island.

14. Lumberjacks' House - West of Death Mountain, you will find the Lumberjacks' House. After you get the Master Sword, the tree that the lumberjacks were cutting will have differently colored leaves. Dash into the tree to remove the leaves, then fall into the hole in the stump. Go through the door in this area to find a Piece of Heart on a ledge.

15. South of the Flute Boy's Grove - In the Dark World, go south and west from the bomb shop where Link's house is in the Light World. Look for an arrow of purple bushes pointing south. Go where the arrow is pointing to find an area past a large rock where there is a circle of bushes. Cut one of the bushes and go into the circle. Use theMagic Mirror to go to the Light World. Go into the cave, lift the pots, and collect the Piece of Heart.

16. Village of Outcasts Digging Game - In the Dark World, you will find a Digging Game southwest of where Kakariko Village is in the Light World. Dig as many times as you can before time runs out for a chance to get a Piece of Heart.

17. Ghostly Garden - In the Dark World, where the Graveyard is in the Light World, enter the Graveyard area and dash into the southeastern pile of rocks. Go north, then cut the bush so you can enter the fenced-in area that has a pile of rocks in it. Cut the upper-left bush of the fenced-in area, then go west and climb up the ladder to reach the ledge. Go to the west side of the ledge and use the Magic Mirror to return to the Light World. Enter the cave, lift the pots to get bombs and hearts, then bomb the north wall to open a hole. Go through and take the Piece of Heart.

18. Northwest of "Sanctuary" Cave - In the Dark World, go northwest from where the Sanctuary is in the Light World. There is a cave in the same place as the cave in the Light World that leads to Death Mountain. Lift the boulder and go into the cave. If you have the Magic Cape, use it to go past the blue Bumper. This allows you to reach the Piece of Heart on the ledge outside.

19. Village of Outcasts - Play the treasure chest game in the northwest house until you find a Piece of Heart.

20. Village of Outcasts - After you get the Titan's Mitt from the Thieves' Town dungeon in the Dark World, you can use the southeast exit of the Village of Outcasts to reach the area where the Smithy is in the Light World. Lift the black boulders, then use the Hammer to pound all of the purple posts into the ground. After you hit them all, stairs appear in the south part of the area.. Go down the stairs to get a Piece of Heart.

21. Swamp of Evil - In the northwest corner of the swamp, go into the mouth of the plant-like face. Wait for the two Sparks to go past, then go north and down the stairs to find a block puzzle. See the diagram below for instructions, or follow these directions: Push the bottom-right block to the right to reach the rightmost chest, which contains 20 rupees. Then push the bottom-left block to the left, the one above you up, then go to the right side of the block below the left chest and push the block left to reach the chest, which contains a Piece of Heart.

22. Swamp of Evil - Go north to the north wall of the swamp, then go east to reach the northeast corner of the swamp. Go as far east in the northeast corner as you can go, then use the Magic Mirror to go back to the Light World. Pick up and throw the large boulder, then go down the stairs. Push the blocks until you can reach the Piece of Heart. You can leave and come back if you need to reset the blocks to their original positions.

23. Dark World's Death Mountain - To get this Piece of Heart, you need to start at Turtle Rock. Go west from the Turtle Rock area, then pick up and throw the large white boulder and go down the stairs. From the entrance, go north to the end of the path. There is an invisible path north of you. You can use the Ether Medallion to reveal the path, but it costs a lot of magic and you might not be able to remember the exact path as you go across. Another method is to use the Cane of Somaria. Use it to create a block north of you, and slowly push it north until it falls off of the edge of the invisible platform. Then create a block east of you, and push it east until it falls off of the edge. Create another block north of you, push it north until it falls. At that point, go west until there is a visible platform north of you, and walk north onto it. Use a bomb at the cracked wall and go through. In this plus-shaped room, bomb the west wall and go through. Then go south to go outside. Use the Magic Mirror to go to the Light World, then take the Piece of Heart that you find there.

24. Outside of Turtle Rock - There is a Piece of Heart that you can only get from the outside ledge that you reach during the Turtle Rock dungeon. It is a long ledge on the side of the mountain that has two cave entrances. Go to the easternmost edge of the ledge and use the Magic Mirror. In the Light World, enter the cave. There are four Goriyas (or Eyegores in the GBA version). Go to the barrier on the right side of the room and hold the A button to hold onto it, then use the directional pad to make the Goriyas come to you. Then use the Hammer on the Moles and kill the Goriyas at the top of the room. The door will open. Go through and open the chest to get a Piece of Heart.
