Here, I'll tell you where to get every Piece of Heart. First, I'll give the Piece number, followed by the minimum item you need, what Link it can be obtained by, and finally, how exactly to get it. There are a total of 36 Pieces, making a total of nine optional Heart Containers. Enjoy.

-LEGEND-

YL - Can only be obtained as Young Link
AL - Can only be obtained as Adult Link
EL - Can be obtained as either Link
BL - Must be obtained using both Links

Hyrule Field: 2 Pieces

  1. Bombs - EL - Outside the entrance to Lake Hylia, there is a fenced in area of land. Throw a bomb into the middle of the area, and the bomb will uncover a hole where you can get a Piece of Heart.
  2. Iron Boots - AL - Plant a bomb near a tree in the northwestern part of Hyrule Field, which will uncover a secret cave. Drop to the bottom of the pond using the Iron Boots, where the Piece of Heart rests.
Lost Woods: 2 Pieces
  1. Fairy Ocarina - YL - Go left from the start, and jump up onto the log. You'll find a Skull Kid, who, if you take out your Ocarina, will ask you to play something. Play Saria's Song, and he will consider you a friend and give you a Piece of Heart.
  2. Fairy Ocarina - YL - Go to the area with the target hanging from the tree (it's on the way to the Sacred Forest Meadow, so you won't miss it) and drop down. Hop up on the log, whip out your Ocarina, and two Skull Kids will appear, asking you to follow along with them. This game is kinda like "Simon". Win three times, I think, and they will reward you with a Piece of Heart. Don't worry if they give you a Green Rupee or Blue Rupee - they'll give you the Piece eventually.
Hyrule Market: 3 Pieces
  1. No Item - YL - Enter Hyrule Market at night, and talk to the fat woman in one of the houses in the Back Alley. She'll tell you that her dog is missing. Go back to the main area, and run into the dog near the Bazaar to make him follow you. Take him back to the woman and she'll reward you with a Piece of Heart.
  2. 30 Rupees - YL - Go to the Bombchu Bowling Game after it has opened, and play until you recieve the Piece of Heart. It's quite annoying. Good luck!
  3. 10 Rupees - YL - Go to Hyrule Market at night, and enter the building with lights on. This is the Treasure Box Game. You can play at this game right now and have almost no chance of winning, or you can come back when you have the Lens of Truth to cheat and win easily. I recommend doing the latter, since there's no penalty for doing so, and it's a waste of Rupees to do otherwise.
Lon Lon Ranch: 1 Piece
  1. No Item - YL - Go to the stables at the back of Lon Lon Ranch (the small room with two cows), and rearrange the boxes to where you can crawl through the small opening in the wall. Crawl through, and you'll find a Piece of Heart waiting for you.
Kakariko Village: 4 Pieces
  1. No Item - BL - There are MANY ways to do this. The first, and perhaps most complicated way, is to take a Cucco, make your way up to the thin ledge where one of the carpenters runs around, and jump off of there to the small ledge above the Cucco Pen. The second, and easier way, is to wait until you can get an owl ride from the top of Death Mountain. The owl will drop you off on top of the roof of the house, so that you can easily hop from the roof to the ledge below. The third way is to wait until you get the Hookshot as Adult Link and grapple to the roof, although I don't recommend waiting that long to get this Piece. Remember - the sooner you get the Pieces, the better!
  2. No Item - AL - As Young Link, you can go inside of the windmill and see this Piece sitting on a ledge. As Adult Link, once you win Dampˇ's Race, you will resurface at a ledge in the windmill where you can jump to one of the spinning ledges and then to the Piece.
  3. No Item - BL - The prize for bagging 50 Gold Skulltulas is a Piece of Heart. Talk to one of the rescued kids in the House of Skulltula to get it.
  4. Hookshot - AL - Some people say that you must have the Longshot to get this Piece, but they're wrong. Just go to the ledge in the village where the door to the inside of the windmill is, jump on top of the fence, and grapple to the roof with a man sitting on top. Talk to him, and he'll give you a Piece of Heart. (Gee, the people in this game are generous, aren't they...?)
Kakariko Graveyard: 4 Pieces
  1. Fairy Ocarina - EL - After you learn the Sun's Song, move a gravestone (I forgot which one) in the Graveyard, and play the Sun's Song in the room under the grave. This will make a chest appear that contains a Piece of Heart.
  2. Magic Beans - BL - As Young Link, plant a Magic Bean in the plot of soil at the Graveyard. As Adult Link, ride the Magic Plant up to a ledge and bash the crate to reveal a Piece of Heart.
  3. 20 Rupees - YL - Go to the Graveyard between 6:00 and 8:00 PM, and participate in "Dampˇ's Heart-Pounding Grave-Digging Tour". Have him dig in the soil (not the stone) along the path he walks, and you'll find the Piece of Heart in a random location.
  4. No Item - AL - Race Dampˇ's spirit in the Graveyard and win in one minute or less, AFTER getting the Hookshot. Rolling the whole way really helps.
Death Mountain Trail: 1 Piece
  1. Magic Beans - BL - As Young Link, plant a Magic Bean in the plot of soil in front of Dodongo's Cavern, and ride the Magic Plant up to the platform above Dodongo's Cavern as Adult Link.
Goron City: 1 Piece
  1. Bombs - YL - First, go to the bottom floor, and then, using a Deku Stick and the flaming torch in Darunia's Room, light all of the torches around the huge Goron Statue. This will make the statue spin. Now, go up to the floor above you, and, using either a Bomb Flower or one of your own Bombs (I recommend the former), toss it into the statue through the opening. When it explodes, you'll get a random prize, and eventually, it will be a bunch of rupees with a Piece of Heart.
Death Mountain Crater: 2 Pieces
  1. No Item - EL - Go straight ahead and to the left from the entrace, and go to the very edge of the platform. Walk off very slowly, and you'll discover that it's actually a climable wall. Climb down the wall and into a small alcove where a Piece of Heart rests.
  2. Magic Beans - BL - As Young Link, play the Bolero of Fire (learned from Sheik) to warp to the Fire Temple, and then plant a Magic Bean at the plot of soil there. Return as Adult Link, and you can ride the Magic Plant to the top of a volcano where a well-hidden Piece of Heart rests.
Zora's River: 4 Pieces
  1. No Item - YL - Get the Cucco at the beginning of the area to the area where you can see the tall rock pillar where this Piece rests. Jump across the small gap to the left, and follow the ledge to where you'd usually jump off to continue. Instead of doing that, take a running jump and float to the just- about-out-of-reach ledge, and toss the Cucco at the last moment to grab ahold of the ledge. Jump from there to the rock pillar and claim the Piece.
  2. No Item - YL - If you can, get the Cucco again and continue to the waterfall right in front of the entrace to Zora's Domain. (If you lost the Cucco, just go back to the beginning of the area to get it again). This is an easy one - just jump from the ledge closest to where the Piece of Heart is, and you'll float right to it. Simple.
  3. Ocarina of Time - YL - Play the Song of Storms for the group of frogs, and they'll give you a Piece of Heart. Remember, the Song of Storms can only be learned as an Adult. Also, you must have played all of your other songs (Zelda's Lullaby, Saria's Song, Epona's Song, Sun's Song, and Song of Time) to make every frog large before you can do this.
  4. Ocarina of Time - YL - Win the bug-eating game with the frogs to earn another Piece. You must have already gotten Piece 3 before you can do this.
Zora's Domain: 1 Piece
  1. Deku Stick - YL - Starting from King Zora's Room, light all of the torches in order, ending with the ones behind the waterfall. It's pretty linear. If you can't do it the first time, start over, and make SURE to run your stick through every torch to make the flame last longer. Doing all of this will make a treasure chest containing a Piece appear between the two torches behind the waterfall.
Zora's Fountain: 2 Pieces
  1. No Item - AL - This is easy - just jump from ice cap to ice cap until you get to the Piece.
  2. Iron Boots - AL - Sink to the very bottom of Zora's Fountain to find a Piece of Heart.
Lake Hylia: 3 Pieces
  1. 20 Rupees - YL - Catch a 10-lb or bigger fish at the Fishing Pond, not using the illegal lure.
  2. Magic Bean - BL - Plant a Magic Bean in the plot of soil in front of the Lake Hylia Laboratory as Young Link, and use the Magic Plant to ride up to the roof as an Adult. Once on the roof, climb all the way up the ladder (watch out for the Crows!) and you'll get the Piece. Check out the view!
  3. Gold Scale/Iron Boots - EL - As Young or Adult Link, you can use the Gold Scale to dive to the bottom of the pool in the Lake Hylia Laboratory. As Adult Link, you can use the Iron Boots to sink to the bottom of the pool. In both cases, make sure you talk to the man before and after to get your Piece.
Gerudo Valley: 2 Pieces
  1. No Item - YL - Use the Cucco to glide behind the waterfall in the canyon, where you'll find a hidden alcove containing a Piece of Heart.
  2. No Item - YL - Use the Cucco again to float to the left, away from the waterfall, to a small ledge on the other side of the canyon (it's the ledge with a crate on it). Bash the crate, and you'll find another Piece of Heart. For a kick, toss the Cucco into the water below. Once it hits the water, it'll go nuts and fly up and over the canyon, into space or something. Super Cucco!! ^_^
Gerudo Fortress: 2 Pieces
  1. Longshot/Ocarina of Time - AL - Make your way up to the very top of Gerudo Fortress, where you can see a treasure chest on the roof. You can either grapple directly to the chest using the Longshot, or, if you've learned the Scarecrow's Song, summon Pierre the Scarecrow and grapple to him using the Hookshot. Open the chest to recieve your Piece.
  2. Epona - AL - Play the Horseback Archery Game and score 1,000 points or more, and the woman will reward you with a Piece of Heart.
Ice Cavern - 1 Piece
  1. Empty Bottle/Blue Fire - AL - I'm not going to explain how to get to this one in dungeon terms, but if you dissolve every Red Ice wall, you'll find this secret room with a Blue Fire torch, a Piece of Heart, and a Gold Skulltula. Just use Blue Fire to melt the Red Ice surrounding the Piece of Heart.
Desert Colossus: 1 Piece
  1. Magic Bean - BL - First, play the Requiem of Spirit to warp to the Spirit Temple as Young Link. There, plant a Magic Bean in the plot of soil. Return as Adult Link and use the Magic Plant to get on top of the stone arch where the final Piece rests.
Congrats! You should have all 20 Heart Containers now!
