Go to the Goron City entrance. Before you enter, turn left. You will get to a place with a Bomb Flower and a Goron (as small Link). Get rid of the bomb by throwing it away and do a backflip off the place to get on to the high ledge. This works best if you look at the Goron when you jump. By doing this, you do not need to plant a Magic Bean there. However if you do, it helps with getting the Biggorons Sword. [Screenshot]

Get Heart Piece on top of the Dodongo's Cavern as a child:
Get on top of the cliff overlooking the cavern with the Bomb Flower needed to blow up the cave. When you are on top of the cliff, throw the Bomb Flower. It does not matter where; just get it out of your way. If the Bomb Flower grows back before you complete the trick, try again. After you have disposed of the Bomb Flower, quickly place you back against the fence. It is lower than the others so you can throw the bomb, and low enough to jump over. Get in the far left corner (far right corner if facing it), and back flip over it. You will sustain some of damage, but the piece of Heart will be worth it.
