Post-Game Content & 100% Completion

Congratulations, Hero of New Hyrule! You've defeated Malladus and restored the Spirit Tracks. But your adventure doesn't have to end there. Spirit Tracks offers a wealth of post-game content and challenges for those aiming for a true 100% completion. This section will guide you through every last collectible, side quest, and secret the game has to offer, ensuring you can achieve the highest completion percentage and master all of Link's abilities.

Maximizing Link's Health: Heart Containers and Pieces

To fully upgrade Link's health, you'll need to acquire all 16 Heart Containers and 16 Heart Pieces, which brings Link's maximum health to a grand total of 16 hearts.

  • Boss Rewards: Each of the five main dungeons awards a full Heart Container upon defeating its boss.
  • Tower of Spirits: Link receives three Heart Containers during his initial ascent through the Tower of Spirits.
  • Heart Pieces: There are 16 Heart Pieces to find, scattered as rewards for various challenges and explorations:

    • Completing certain mini-games that have them as rewards.

  • Location Examples: Many stamps are hidden behind breakable walls, atop high ledges, or in areas only accessible with specific items like the Sand Wand, Whip, or Bow.
  • Tower of Spirits: Several stamps are located within the Tower of Spirits, often on revisited floors that become accessible with new abilities.
