    I don't know why so many sources claim the Piece of Power drops every 40-45 enemies, it seemed to be consistently around 30-35 for me.

    Make sure you literally pick up both pieces. it wont trigger just by them both showing up

    How does this achievement add anything to the game experience? This is just a useless grind

    Got this by farming the red monsters that kept spawning near the Ghost's grave. Not sure if I was unlucky, but the Piece of Power did not spawn for me until the Guardian Acorn's effect wore off. Sigh glad thats over.

    It seems like you can't drop the other while one of them is active. To do this very easily, just kill the coconuts the monkey throws at the beach. He does it indefinitely and once both are on the floor, simply pick them up. They either don't despawn ot take a long time to. Got the achievement in about a minute this way.

    Yo! while grinding for this achievement, I discovered a glitch I still didn't know about. After killing 89 ennemis while staying in the overworld, the 90th ennemi will change Link's tunic according to it's index value. 00 is green, 01 is red, 02 is blue, 03 is damaged sprite tunic with no special properties.

    As is already suggested above, only do this in an area where there respawning enemies. My own observation is that when one of the items drop, then the other one will drop pretty soon afterwards and since these two items do not disappear once on screen, you are in no hurry to pick them up. Still a non-fun grind though reminiscent of achievements from official sets.

    I dont know what kind of grind you guys are talking about. I got this by accident and i remember this happening to me frequently on the original hardware as a kid

    I used the monkey in the coconut tree method mentioned above. Such sn easy method.

    got this from the monkey on near the beach. was a little less than a five minute grind. just hold your sword out and do a circle. aim for just the coconut on the right because trying for both might get you hurt. let both drop before you pickup either.

    the monkey at the Beach makes it easy ^^

    Information about the drop rates of PoPs and Acorns: https://www.zeldaspeedruns.com/la/generalknowledge/piece-of-power-and-guardian-acorn

    Short answer: PoPs drop every 30-40 enemies killed (depends the number of heart containers you have).
    Acorns drop every 12 enemies killed without taking damage.

    I used to believe that an Acorn or PoP won't spawn while the other is active, but the site above doesn't mention that. Anyway, it's probably best to not pick up one until both are on screen.

    It’s easy to get this one. Just go to the beach and hit the coconuts that’s the monkey is throwing. Wait both of the power ups stay in the screen, so get one and then get the another
