I usually just go for as many as I come across. Most, if not all, Zelda games with heart pieces are easy enough to be beaten without collecting all of them, so I never feel compelled to do so because of that. I'm also not a completionist, so I don't feel motivated to get them all for that reason either.
The only Zelda game I've ever collected them all was a run of Ocarina 3D last year. Wasn't even a 100% run. I just got all the heart pieces.
