FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [ZPHH100]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: How many Heart Containers are available for Link?
A: 16 total: 3 starting, 7 bosses, 6 must be found.
Q: How many Heart Containers are available for Linebeck's Ship?
A: 8 total: 4 starting, 4 more from ship part upgrades.
Q: Are there any Heart Pieces in the game?
A: No, there are only full Heart Containers (much like Zelda 1 and 2). They
have come up with the extensive Power/Wisdom/Courage Gems quest to
fill in this gap (60 total).
Q: How do I find (specific ship part)?
A: Ship parts are randomly placed where you would find them. Nintendo has
done this to encourage online gaming via the WiFi trading feature.
Q: Do I have to do anything special for the Golden ship parts to appear?
A: No, they are random like the rest of the ship parts. However, their
randomness variable is higher than the other parts (less likely to
appear, but random nonetheless).

DETAILED LOCATION LIST [ZPHH220]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#1/#2/#3 - Starting
===================
You begin the game with these.
#4/#5/#6/#7/#8/#9/#10 - Bosses
==============================
These are the seven dungeon boss Heart Containers. Simply open the chest
that appears after beating each boss.
#11 - Beedle's Masked Ship
==========================
Immediately after you can access the sea, Beedle's Ship is available to
sail to. Randomly, each time you go to sea, Beedle may be wearing a mask
and the icon will be labeled as "Masked Ship". This is when he will sell
the Heart Container as well as a Courage Gem. You'll need 1500 rupees.
Rumor has it that Beedle's Masked Ship appears specifically between
10:00PM-12:00AM on weekdays (Mon-Fri), and between 10:00AM-12:00PM on
weekends (Sat-Sun). This is based on your Nintendo DS internal clock.
I believe I have seen the Masked Ship appear at other times, but hundreds
of gamers claim that this is a guaranteed method to get it. If you are
already out to sea when you enter this two-hour time block, you must dock
somewhere and then go back out to sea for the ship to change.
#12 - Romantic Fishing
======================
Once you reach the Northwest Quadrant, you can access Bannan Island. Talk
to the Old Wayfarer here to hear about the mermaid. Go outside to find her
and hit her with your boomerang. Talk to Old Wayfarer, then to Linebeck
then to Old Wayferer again. The Mermaid should be in his hut now and he'll
give you the fishing rod.
Go out and fish for the first three types of fish on the Collection Screen.
Old Wayferer will reward you each time you return, and will give you the
Big Catch Lure once you catch a Loovar. Now go back out to sea and catch
a Rusty Swordfish. Return it to Old Wayfarer and he'll tell you about
Neptoona.
Neptoona is a legendary fish and has its own icon on the map (a swordfish)
that can appear separately than the regular fish icon. Fish when this icon
appears and catch Neptoona (note that sometimes a regular swordfish can
appear on this icon rather than Neptoona). Bring Neptoona to Old Wayfarer
who will declare you a true romantic, and give you the Heart Container.
#13 - Prince of Red Lions
=========================
Once you reach the Northwest Quadrant, you can go to the Traveler's Ship on
this map, which the owner has named the Prince of Red Lions. Play his game
of hitting him and he'll give you treasure. Leave, and come back and play
again. Eventually, he will ask you to hit him 100 times. Do so, and you
will be rewarded with the Heart Container. Further plays will get you
treasure and ship parts.
#14 - Bow Shooting Range
========================
Once you acquire the Sun Key, return to Molida Island. Romano's Hut has
become the Shooting Range. Score at least 1700 points to get the Bow
Quiver Upgrade. Score at least 2000 to get the Heart Container.
An easier way to go about this game is to always just aim towards the
center of the gallery, and wait for the targets to cross your path,
rather than to aim individually at each target. Then you only have to
concentrate on when to let go, rather than the timing as well as the
accuracy of your shots.
#15 - Island Shops
==================
There is a series of upgrades you can buy at the island shops, which is
the same at each island (not Beedle's Ship). First you must buy the Bomb
Bag upgrade, then the Quiver upgrade, and finally the Bombchu Bag upgrade.
Since the Bombchu Bag upgrade must be purchased in order for the Heart
Container to appear, you must wait until you acquire the Bombchu item from
the Goron Temple to be able to buy this.
#16 - Treasure Maze
===================
Once you reach the Northwest Quadrant, you can go to the hidden Maze Island
and attempt this challenge. You must complete the Beginner and Normal modes
to unlock the Expert mode. One of the Expert mode's prizes is the Heart.

ABOUT THIS GUIDE [ZPHH400]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSION INFO [ZPHH410]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.2 - New user-submitted corrections added.
Version 1.1 - Typo and formatting mistakes corrected.
Version 1.0 - Just started. It's complete, in some sense that you can
locate all Heart Containers for Link and the Ship using
this guide. I am figuring out what more to add to this
guide for the future.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE [ZPHH420]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the "page numbers" in the Table of Contents and your browser's Find
function (usually Ctrl+F), search for the page number of the section you
want to view and you will jump to that section.
This guide assumes you will explore around each area you enter, and talk
with each person you meet to obtain as much information about the storyline
that you'd like. This guide is not a Ship Parts List, even though that is
a major component of getting the Ship's Heart Containers. I assume a Ship
Parts FAQ will be posted to GameFAQs for this kind of reference.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT'S NEEDED [ZPHH430]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the guide is pretty much done, all I need now are things that could
improve it. Look at the list and contribute anything if you have something.
- An ASCII-art logo (resembling actual Legend of Zelda: PH logo)
- Any Heart Container secrets, etc
- Tips/strategies for the Mini-Games
- Spelling, grammar or information corrections
- FAQ questions (answers, too)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
