Link's Awakening Remake: Three More Pieces of Heart Spotted

Today the North American website for the Nintendo Switch remake of Link's Awakening has opened as well and it's quite different from the Japanese one.

If you go through all the images, you can easily spot the locations of two new Pieces of Heart. One is sold in the shop, which was already expected and shouldn't be a big surprise:

With that you really want to avoid stealing from the shop this time, unless you don't mind all those additional deaths.

The next Piece of Heart is in a slightly more interesting location:

This is the cave in the north of the Mysterious Forest, where you need the Hookshot to get to a treasure chest and now also a Piece of Heart. Whenever I tend to forget this spot whenever I replay the game, so it's nice to have something of more importance here.

Update: and there is one more...

This one is easy to miss on the screenshot, but just look to Link's right. It's right above the entrance to the Animal Village and it seems like you have to go around the houses / village for this one.

Together with the three Pieces of Hearts that we have discovered back in June (see here), we now know of six additional Pieces of Heart:

• A prize in the Trendy Game
• A new item in the town shop
• In the northeast corner of the Tabahl Wasteland
• Above the entrance to the Animal Village
• In the northern cave of the Mysterious Forest
• On a ledge dropping down from the west Tal Tal Mountains

Of course there are many other potential spots, which shouldn't come as a surprise, like the Rapids Ride minigame, the Seashell Mansion, the Chamber Dungeon and more. But we will probably also get some full Heart Containers here and there (like from the boss of the Color Dungeon), so don't expect a total of 24 new Heart Pieces. More likely seems a total of 12 or 16 in addition to the 12 original Pieces of Heart.
