A Link to the Past on Switch Online: Treasure Field Digging Game

[stuartsimon]

Hello!
I've checked several other threads, both on Zelda Dungeon's forums and on others, about the money-sucking Treasure Field Digging Game in A Link to the Past as it is found on Nintendo Switch Online in North America. This is my first try at the game; I never got this far when I played Zelda on my original SNES. I've gotten into the habit of digging two columns from the northeast corner of the field to the southeast corner, and it has drained my wallet twice already. I was wondering if, in the Nintendo Switch Online version, the Heart Piece is switched among a set of squares that is smaller than the entire field and does not include the four easternmost columns.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, wasn't the location always randomized per playthrough? Like for exanple, one play through it'd be in the top left corner, while in another it'd be in the south east?

It's completely luck. Just keep trying and you'll get it.

the first 20 holes you dig won't contain the heart piece, so running all the way over to the northeast is what's causing you to have trouble

It's 25 in the NA release, but yea. Once you dig 25 holes you have a 1/8 chance of finding the HP.
