Sources and edition changes
Switch 2 edition · sources checked November 5, 2026
This guide follows the 2026 Nintendo Switch 2 remake. Routes were checked against edition-specific walkthroughs and Nintendo documentation. We have not personally completed a console playthrough.
The N64 guide and its saved progress remain separate. Checklist totals measure this guide, not the game's completion percentage. New features are documented where the available evidence supports them.
Changes to keep in mind
- Do not search the original Ice Cavern heart-fragment spot: the remake's late collection route instead includes a child Business Scrub in Death Mountain Crater.
- Two Hyrule Field rewards depend on first reading their fairy thought as an adult; visiting the child location alone is insufficient.
- For the frogs' second fragment, growing them is preparation: the butterfly minigame must also be completed.
- These are edition-specific documentary instructions, not a claim that we personally collected every fragment on a console.
- The 36-fragment total does not mean 36 full hearts or establish a verified maximum-health HUD.
- The highest-roof chest, bean routes and two-era clues are listed separately even when they share a region.
- For the password grotto, reports differ on left/right descriptions of the castle approach. Use the single-tree strip and its fairy thought rather than an unsupported compass direction.
- RPG Site and Respec share editorial provenance; agreement between them is not independent gameplay evidence.
- After the ending, compare the game's regional collection counters before concluding a missing fragment is elsewhere.
- Stable hp identifiers belong to this checklist; they are not an official collection order.
