Lon Lon Ranch Piece of Heart

There is one Piece of Heart inside Lon Lon Ranch, and it is easy to confuse with a second piece just outside the fence. The inside piece sits in the storage shed at the southwest corner. You can take it only as a child. The outside piece is a bombable grotto by a lone tree northwest of the ranch, south of a small river. On the Switch 2 remake that outside piece is no longer there. Zelda Wiki places it in a magic-locked chest under a cliff near Gerudo Valley.

Inside the shed

1. Enter the stone shed at the southwest corner. IGN describes nine milk crates and an iron grate at the far side.
2. Pull the crate nearest the exit so the middle column has two empty spaces.
3. Pull the middle crate that sits against the wall. A gap opens.
4. Crawl through. The piece is on a bird’s nest in the small room. A cow stands nearby if you want milk and you already know Epona’s Song.

Zelda Dungeon and Game8 shorten that to “pull the crates and crawl.” I keep IGN’s four moves because they are the only step list, and I label them as one source. The remake restyles the room with hay and bedding. The prize is still there. Four Pieces of Heart make one Heart Container, so this ranch visit is one quarter of a container, not a full extra heart by itself.

The piece that is not in the ranch

The field grotto and the shed are separate rewards. If a video shows you bombing a tree outside the fence, you are on piece B. If you are pushing milk crates, you are on piece A. A separate crawl-in grotto by the paddock is not part of either route described here.
