Our wonderful staff member Midanfan has written this amazing new A Link to the Past Heart Piece Location Guide. There are a good number of heart pieces in A Link to the Past so I highly suggest giving this tutorial a quick read over if you find yourself dying too often.
On another note I would like to announce that LegendofZelda.com has been able to get their forums and gallery back online. For those of you who were unaware, one of their mods went crazy and left the forums in shambles. Either way, welcome back online.
