Zelda: Skyward Sword HD – Lanaryu Desert Heart Piece Locations

We’ve compiled the locations of every piece in the Lanaryu Desert region below. As a note, some Heart Pieces are linked to Goddess Cubes, which are artifacts that reveal a treasure chest in the Sky region upon hitting them. In this guide, we’ve noted the cube’s location instead of where it ends up, as Fi will reveal that information to you once the chest appears.

If you’re curious about other heart piece locations, read our comprehensive heart piece roundup. For more guides, be sure to check out our Zelda: Skyward Sword guide roundup. Otherwise, read our Zelda: Skyward Sword HD review.

Lanayru Desert: Northeast Section

Gallery

The dry nature of the desert means there are numerous cracked walls in the area. In the northeast section of the map, you will find such a wall that leads down a path to an area sheltering a treasure chest containing a piece of heart.

North End of The Temple of Time (Goddess Cube Heart Piece)

Gallery

At the north end of the Temple of Time, you’ll find a Goddess Cube. Activating it is a little tricky, though, as it requires you to deliver a Skyward Strike at the right time while riding a minecart upward. Do this successfully, and the Goddess Cube will reveal the location of a chest on Beedle’s Island containing a piece of heart.

At this point, the next heart piece you can get is at Fun Fun Island in the Sky region. Otherwise, if you’ve already got what it takes to get the next heart pieces in the region, then keep reading.

Lanayru Sand Sea: Pirate Stronghold (Goddess Cube Heart Piece)

Gallery

After finishing the Pirate Stronghold in the Lanayru Sand Sea, you can use your newly acquired clawshot to access a Goddess Cube in the area. Once you exit the stronghold, a small series of clawshot targets behind Link on the east side of the map will lead you to the Goddess Cube. Once you’ve hit the cube, you can find the matching chest atop the waterfall in Skyloft. You’ll find some vines above to latch onto using your clawshot, which will lead upward to the Goddess Chest containing the heart piece.

For the most optimal way to get this piece heart, we recommend starting with hitting the aforementioned Goddess Cube above, collecting the next piece of heart at the Sandship, and then doubling back to where the chest spawned in Skyloft.

Lanayru Sand Sea: Sandship

Gallery

There is a piece of heart held captive by a treasure chest in the rear of the sandship. Once you reach the upper deck, work your way to the back of the ship and look for a hidden platform below, where you’ll find a piece of heart within a chest. Despite the circumstance, you can always come back here after finishing the dungeon, so it’s not missable.

With those heart pieces collected, the next one you’ll find will once again be in the Sky region–this time in Zelda’s Room at the Knight Academy. Otherwise, if you’ve already got what it takes to get the next heart pieces in the region, then keep reading.

Lanayru Sand Sea: Minecart Mini-Game

Gallery

When you complete the Sandship dungeon in the Lanayru desert, you can redo the mine cart sequence as part of a mini-game. Complete the heart-stopping course in less than 65 seconds, and you will be rewarded with a piece of heart.

For the next heart piece, you’ll need to go to the Faron Woods region to chat with Gorko at the Sealed Grounds. Otherwise, if you’ve already got what it takes to get the next heart pieces in the region, then keep reading.

[Return to the Roundup]

Lanayru Gorge: Thunder Dragon’s Lightning Round

If you talk to Lanryu, he’ll tell you about a challenge known a the Lightning Round. He’ll tell you to speak to him later about it, but if you talk to him immediately after, he’ll cave in and allow you to participate sooner.

The Lightning Round challenge mode has you facing off against various bosses from the game up until that point. Defeat four in a row, and you will qualify for a piece of heart. But note that you must stop battling the moment you accumulate four wins, as other prizes are awarded to you the further you go.

Great work! You’ve collected all the heart pieces in the Lanyru Desert region. The next heart piece you get requires you to buy every item from Beedle’s Airshop.

Zelda: Skyward Sword HD – Eldin Volcano Heart Piece Locations

Are you looking to get every heart piece in the Eldin Volcano region of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD? Then look no further, as we’ve compiled the locations of every piece below. As you know by now, some Heart Pieces are linked to Goddess Cubes, which are artifacts that reveal a treasure chest in the Sky region upon striking them. In this guide, we’ve noted the cube’s location only, as Fi will mark the location of the subsequent chest for you on the map.

Table of Contents [hide]

Eldin Volcano: Platforms Near Skeleton Bridge

Gallery

When ascending the volcano, you will notice a piece of heart resting on top of a platform (it’s relatively impossible to miss). The surrounding platforms will provide you with the means to reach it, so look for a series of platforms near a couple of pyrups to arrive atop the plateau in question.

At this point, you’ll only have access to this one heart piece. The next is located in the northeast section of the Lanryu Desert region. Otherwise, if you’ve already got what it takes to get the next heart pieces in the region, then keep reading.

[Return to the Roundup]

Eldin Volcano: East Of Earth Temple Entrance (Goddess Cube Heart Piece)

Gallery

There is a Goddess Cube in Eldin Volcano, located east of the Earth Temple entrance and the surrounding Bokoblin encampments. You may have activated it already, but the corresponding chest in Skyloft requires that Link has the dragon scale so he can swim underwater to reach it. Once that’s done, swim to the east end of Skyloft’s main river and dive underwater to find a passageway leading to a storage shed with the Goddess Chest.

Like last time, this is the only heart piece you can get in the Eldin Volcano region for now. The next one is located near the top of the Great Tree in the Faron Woods region. Otherwise, if you’ve already got what it takes to get the next heart pieces in the region, then keep reading.

[Return to the Roundup]

Eldin Volcano: Fire Sanctuary

Gallery

When you get the Mogma Mitts at the Fire Sanctuary, you can burrow underground and explore tiny mazes that contain treasure, enemies, and Mogmas on the move. One such Mogma has a piece of heart that he will give to Link when caught. You can burrow into a hole in the northwest section of the sanctuary to find him. With agility and whit, you can catch him and claim another hard-earned piece of heart.

[Return to the Roundup]

Eldin Volcano: Volcano Summit

Gallery

When you reach a series of fiery blockades flanked by frog statues, keep an eye out for a dirt patch just before the second wall of fire that you can dig into using the Mogma Mitts. The right patch will lead you underground and right to a shiny piece of heart.

[Return to the Roundup]

Eldin Volcano: Volcano Summit (Goddess Cube Heart Piece)

Gallery

There is a point in the Volcano Summit, on your way to the Fire Sanctuary, where you’ll find a deep pit with tall stone pillars. The environment seems to encourage you to jump into the void, although there is nothing in sight worth the risk. Not so! Hop off and slowly veer toward the bottom-left. It may take a few tries, but you can land on a platform with a Goddess Cube. The corresponding chest contains a piece of heart and is located on Bug Rock island, within the Thunderhead.

Congratulations, you’ve found all of the Eldin Volcano heart pieces! You can get the next one from clearing the minecart mini-game after completing the Sandship dungeon in the Lanyru Desert region.

Zelda: Skyward Sword HD – Faron Woods Heart Piece Locations

Below we’ve compiled the locations of every piece in the Faron Woods region. It’s important to note that some Heart Pieces are linked to Goddess Cubes, which are magical artifacts that will reveal a treasure chest somewhere in the Sky region upon hitting them. In this guide, we’ve noted the cube’s location, as the corresponding chest it reveals will be subsequently identified by Fi with a little icon on your map.

Table of Contents [hide]

Faron Woods: The Tightrope Path

Gallery

The first heart piece you will likely come across is in Faron Woods. When looking for the three Kikwis, keep an eye out for tightropes between the great tree and a large stone wall. One of them will lead you to a relatively easy-to-acquire piece of heart.

The next Heart Piece you can get at Faron Woods won’t be for a while, as the next possible one you can find is at the Lumpy Pumpkin in the Sky region. Otherwise, if you’ve already got what it takes to get the next heart pieces in the region, then keep reading.

[Return to the Roundup]

Outside Of Skyview Temple (Goddess Cube Heart Piece)

Gallery

There is a Goddess Cube directly outside of Skyview Temple. Strike it, and it will activate a Goddess Chest on an island south of Skyloft. Fi will mark activated Goddess Chests on your map with a small Goddess crest.

[Return to the Roundup]

Skyview Temple: After Defeating Stalfos And Acquiring The Beetle

Gallery

After defeating the Stalfos mini-boss in Skyview Temple, use the beetle to deactivate the switch on top of the Stalfos’ lair. This will release the heart from its cage in the rear of the structure.

And that’s all the heart pieces you can get from Faron Woods for now. The next one you can grab is from completing part of Batreux’s Gratitude Crystal questline in Skyloft in the Sky region. Otherwise, if you’ve already got what it takes to get the next heart pieces in the region, then keep reading.

[Return to the Roundup]

Faron Woods: Cracked Wall

Gallery

When Link has to return to the woods, it’s a good idea to put his bombs to use, as there are walls throughout the world of Skyward Sword that shelter valuable treasure. Warp to the “In The Woods” Bird statue and head north until you encounter a weakened cave wall; use your bombs to blow it open to get your next piece of heart.

The next possible heart piece you can find is to the east of the Earth Temple entrance at the Eldin Volcano region. Otherwise, if you’ve already got what it takes to get the next heart pieces in the region, then keep reading.

[Return to the Roundup]

Faron Woods: Great Tree (Goddess Cube Heart Piece)

Gallery

Once you reach the top of the Great Tree and have obtained the Water Dragon’s scale, you can descend from the viewing platform and land adjacent to the Goddess Cube below. This will activate a Goddess Chest on an island east of the portal to the Lanayru Desert.

The next heart piece is found in Pirate Stronghold the Lanaryu Desert region. Otherwise, if you’ve already got what it takes to get the next heart pieces in the region, then keep reading.

[Return to the Roundup]

Sealed Grounds: Gorko

Gallery

After defeating The Imprisoned for the first time, you can go back to the area just outside the Sealed Temple. Gorko, the ever-questing Goron, is at it again, this time researching some curious butterflies nearby (If he isn’t there, it’s likely because you didn’t investigate the Gossip Stones in the lower area near the Sealed Temple by the Bird Statue).

Talk to Gorko, and then strum Link’s harp to activate a Goddess Wall–a canvas that can be drawn on with the Master Sword. Make sure that you do not draw on the wall before speaking to Gorko. If you make this mistake, then reload the game and try again.

Once you’ve spoken to Gorko and the Goddess Wall appears, he will talk to Link and offer him hints, in the form of riddles, of what to draw. If you draw the correct picture that corresponds to the riddle he gives you, then he’ll reward you with a piece of heart. Below are the various riddles and their respective solutions:

“Arrow in Repose… Ye who yearns to strike targets from afar, draw this shape so that it may be known.” — Draw an Arrow
“Glimmering Hexagon… Ye who seeks great riches, draw this shape so that it may be known.” — Draw a Rupee
“Life’s Crimson Vessel… Ye who longs for the source of life, draw this shape so that it may be known. Do so, and from the heavens shall fall a rain of life’s essence.” — Draw a Heart
“Closed Circle… Ye who hungers for destructive force, draw this shape so that it may be known.” — Draw a Circle (to represent a bomb)
“…The three… …ngles… …the Tri…ce… …and…” — Draw a Tri-Force

Great work! You’ve found all the heart pieces at Faron Woods. The next one you can get at this point will be received as a reward for completing the Lightning Round mini-game in the Lanyru Desert region.

Zelda: Skyward Sword HD – Heart Piece Locations Guide

A classic hallmark collectible of the Zelda series is the heart piece. In The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, you’ll want to scour the world for these special items, as they help expand your total health pool. Below, we’ve compiled the locations of every last piece. To the best of our knowledge, this is the optimal order to obtain heart pieces as early as possible.

It’s important to note that some Heart Pieces are linked to Goddess Cubes, which are magical artifacts that will reveal a treasure chest either nearby or in another area altogether upon hitting them. In this guide, we’ve noted the cube’s location, as the corresponding chest it reveals will be subsequently identified by Fi with a little icon on your map.

Watch Snake Eyes Star Henry Golding Play Fortnite As Snake Eyes

The coolest G.I. Joe character, Snake Eyes, is finally getting his own movie in just over a week. More importantly, though, Snake Eyes is getting a Fortnite skin, so it only makes sense that Henry Golding, who plays the character in Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, would sit down to play a few rounds as himself.

Streamed yesterday, Henry Golding joined streamers Fuslie and Brooke AB for a 40-minute session that had each of them suiting up as the cartoon ninja to play a few rounds of Epic’s smash-hit game. While they played, the trio were tasked with answering trivia questions. The first round, “Name That Joe” had them answering questions like “This Joe was a member of a band with his two brothers;” the second, “Snake or Fake,” asked them to discern between real and pretend names of various snake species. Golding also talked about the training he went through before the film, including working with a Japanese trainer to get the hang of the katana.

Golding seems comfortable at the mouse and keyboard throughout the video, though he does better with trivia than frags; the endless string of friend requests popping up over the action probably didn’t help any.

Snake Eyes hits theaters on July 23. Ahead of that, make sure to check out the first and second trailers for the film, and to check out our coverage of G.I. Joe toys including, yes, Snake Eyes.

Major Jungle Cruise Changes At Disneyland Make For A Better Ride

The Jungle Cruise is an iconic ride at California’s Disneyland. In fact, it’s one of the park’s original attractions, dating back to opening day on July 17, 1955. Now, as it celebrates its 66th birthday, the ride is relaunching on July 16 with a massive makeover just as a Jungle Cruise movie is set to hit theaters and Disney+ premiere access.

The new Jungle Cruise isn’t necessarily inspired by the film, though there are nods to it for fans to check out. Instead, Walt Disney Imagineering has given the ride a series of upgrades, implementing a storyline, several new scenes, an army of new animals causing some serious chaos, and the removal of certain characters that were culturally insensitive–notably the spear-carrying “natives” and Trader Sam.

The new ride experience starts as you walk up to it. An updated sign features boat oars in place of the old spears. From there, guests move into the queue, which not only includes Easter eggs from the Jungle Cruise movie (keep an eye out for costume items worn by Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt in the film) but also introduces the new lore of the ride.

Historically, there is one character name associated with the Jungle Cruise, and that’s Dr. Albert Falls (namesake of the ride’s Schweitzer Falls). “We realized that Dr. Albert Falls has a granddaughter named Alberta, who could become the new proprietor of the Jungle Navigation Company,” Walt Disney Imagineering creative director Susana Tubert revealed during a media event, adding that in the canon of the ride, Alberta’s mother is an artist from India and her father is a British scholar. “So Alberta has this benefit that she’s traveled all over the world. She’s very cultural, she’s very worldly, and she’s made a lot of friends.”

In the story being told on the ride, those friends have now come to visit Alberta, leaving trinkets that hint to their personalities throughout the line queue. They end up going on a Jungle Cruise themselves, though, and naturally things go very wrong.

It’s important to note that, for the most part, the first half of the ride remains unchanged. You’re still seeing the same animal scenes–including the “sleeping” zebra–and getting the same pun-filled dialogue from your skippers. As you get into the second half of the ride, though, the new Jungle Cruise shines through. The lost safari party being chased up a tree by a rhino has been replaced by Alberta’s friends stuck in that predicament. How did they end up out of their boat and in a tree? That’s revealed next, as a group of fun-loving monkeys has seemingly crashed the boat and are now playing with the supplies they found on-board as the ship goes down.

Gallery

You can check out the photos above for a better look. This is the most exciting part of the new take on the ride. The boat crash takes up two scenes, while another sees monkeys playing with butterflies they’ve discovered in a shipment. This is one scene that will be different at Walt Disney World’s new take on the Jungle Cruise when it opens later this summer; it was revealed during the media event that in Florida, the monkeys can be found eating some of the butterflies.

The final major change comes at the end of the ride when you reach Trader Sam’s lost and found stand, where the character has been removed from the ride. Per Imagineering, he’s off collecting new goods to sell back to guests after rebranding the lost and found a gift shop. In his place, more monkeys are running the store, snapping photos, and having too much fun playing with the goods Sam has left behind.

Unfortunately, this isn’t an actual gift shop and the ride photos being taken aren’t real. Still, it’s an entertaining way to welcome guests back to the dock, putting a nice finishing touch on the new experience.

In all, the revamped version of Jungle Cruise puts the focus on the animals and all of the fun they seem to be having at the expense of people silly enough to get lost in their natural habitat. “What’s fun is that by the end of the ride the guests and the skipper have realized that, in reality, it’s the animals that get the last laugh,” Tubert said. “That’s the twist to our story.”

The Jungle Cruise reopens at Disneyland on July 16. The ride will then re-debut at Walt Disney World later this summer.

Black Widow Writer Didn’t Know Who Yelena’s Target Would Be In The Post Credits Scene

If you watch comic book movies at all, chances are you’ve seen dozens of interviews with stars of the dozens of Marvel Studios films and noticed how tight-lipped they are (except Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo). Even the people writing the films are often kept in the dark about certain this, revealed Black Widow writer Eric Pearson in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Spoilers follow for Black Widow’s post-credits sequence.

As with so many other Marvel Studios films, Black Widow ends with a post-credits sequence that drops clues for what’s next in the MCU. In a scene set after the events of Avengers: Endgame, Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson)’s adoptive sister Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) mourns her sister at her grave site, only for her quiet moment to be interrupted by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis Dreyfuss) blowing her nose to cartoonish effect. Val then hands Yelena the photo of her next target: Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye.

“I felt bad,” Person said. “They told me I got to [write the post-credits scene], so I was really excited I got to do a lot to shape Valentina’s personality, but they told me ‘and then at the end, this is the target.’ They were like, ‘Don’t worry about it. You don’t have to know that.’ I was like, ‘Who am I screwing over? Something is going on! I don’t have an answer for this!'”

And it isn’t because Pearson is the new kid in the MCU. In addition to writing Black Widow, he co-wrote Thor: Ragnarok and worked as a writer and story editor on ABC’s Agent Carter series.

Pearson didn’t get his answer, though. “They were like, ‘You don’t need to. We are going to figure that out.’ I remember writing it and feeling super guilty. ‘I hope whatever writer is working on this next chapter is going to be okay with what I’ve done to them.'”

The interview covers a bunch more ground about the process of writing the film, including scenes that Pearson himself had to act out with the other actors, the pronunciation of a certain European city, and working with Scarlett Johansson as the first MCU star to executive produce their own film, and is well worth the read.

The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword Zelda And Loftwing Amiibo Shipping Delayed

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD’s Zelda and Loftwing Amiibo has been hit by shipping delays, causing the majority of them to arrive sometime in August instead of on July 16. As reported by IGN, the Amiibo has been impacted by “unforeseen” issues related to shipping, resulting in only a handful of the Zelda and Loftwing Amiibo arriving on July 16 when the game releases.

The majority of the Amiibo ordered will arrive sometime in August. Nintendo of America also told IGN that this delay will not impact any other Amiibo figures. The Amiibo was originally set to release alongside Skyward Sword HD, and while normally video game merchandise shipping later than the game isn’t a big deal, this Amiibo unlocks a pretty useful mechanic in-game.

“The Zelda and Loftwing Amiibo figure is currently impacted by unforeseen shipping delays. As a result, only a small portion of the Zelda and Loftwing Amiibo will be available on its scheduled July 16 launch date,” Nintendo of America said in a statement to GameSpot. “Additional shipments are delayed until August. We will ship additional Amiibo to retailers as soon as they arrive.”

The Zelda and Skyloft Amiibo allows you to travel between the air and the ground at any time during the game. Without this feature, you can only do this at a bird statue. Locking this feature behind a $25 statue was already an odd decision, but now that the Amiibo will likely show up after players have had the game for multiple weeks, there’s a decent chance some people will have beaten the game without ever getting to use the fast travel.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD releases for Nintendo Switch on July 16. In GameSpot’s review, critic Kevin Knezevic gave it a 7/10, writing, “Despite these flaws, Skyward Sword is also filled with many genuinely magical moments. The soundtrack, notable for being Zelda’s first fully orchestrated score, is still delightful, and the story is one of the most touching tales the series has ever woven, shedding light on the origins of Hyrule and other elements that have become hallmarks of the franchise. The game’s dungeons are a highlight, as well, filled with clever puzzles that test your observation and lateral thinking.”

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Joy-Cons also release on July 16 and there is still time to get an order in for the Blue Zelda-themed controllers.

PS5 Is Getting Nature Sim Away: The Survival Series

The PS5 is getting a sugar glider-centered nature sim titled Away: The Survival Series. Players will get to assume the identities of sugar gliders–flying, leaping, and climbing like they do–and “embark on a perilous journey through the wilderness to save [their] family.” The game is expected to release sometime in late summer of 2021.

Canadian developer Breaking Wall took to PlayStation’s blog to introduce the gameplay, which includes stalking prey and coming face-to-face with the sugar gliders’ natural predators, including the Coral Snake.

Other features include a photo mode–to capture players’ exploits as an enterprising sugar glider–and the ability to play as other species. Players can take the POVs of salamanders, beetles, frogs, spiders, and more.

While the game will be available on the PS4, Breaking Wall recommends playing the game on the PS5 for maximum graphical setting, Documentary Experience. Mike Raznick, who worked on the acclaimed nature documentaries Life and Planet Earth II, will provide the music for the game.

Away: The Survival Series was funded through Kickstarter, and CA$135,789 was raised to help finish the game. The game will be available on PS5, PS4, and PC.
