What heart pieces do you always forget? (Zelda) (lemmy.world)

I'm replaying A Link to the Past (or as I've taken to calling it, Zelda III), and I've tried to 100% it from memory. Unfortunately, I wound up one heart piece short.

Before going to look up a guide and going through that checklist, I thought it might be fun to ask fellow humans.

What are some collectibles in this game or any others that you tend to miss, or just had trouble finding initially?

Right there with you.

It wasn't the first time I played, but one of my first replays of LoZ as a teenager, my dad was hanging out and watching. And like, almost every screen he'd go "I think you can burn that bush" or "push that block", then when it didn't work held be all "no, well try that one over there".

At first he got a lot right, over the course of the game less and less. But I was happy for the help, since I didn't remember any secrets at the time. Definitely a playthrough that sticks with me.
