As Link progresses through the games, he will require more and more health in order to survive the greater challenges. This additional health is acquired in the form of Heart Containers,<ref>{{Cite book|quote=You can find additional heart containers on your quest. |book=Phantom Hourglass Official Game Guide |publisher= Prima Games |page=8}}</ref> with each Heart Container adding one whole heart to the amount of hearts Link has.<ref>{{Cite book| quote= Pick up the Heart Container to add it to Link's Life Gauge, which allows Link to absorb more damage.| book= The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.| publisher= Prima Games| page= 15}}</ref> A Heart Container is awarded after every major boss in most games.<ref>{{Cite book| quote= Link receives a Heart Container in most dungeons after defeating the dungeon's boss.| book= The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker| publisher= Prima Games| page= 15}}</ref> Most games finish with Link having gained a total of 20 hearts. It is possible to finish some games without collecting any Heart Containers.
==={{TLoZ|-}}===
In {{TLoZ}}, only full Heart Containers are available, not Pieces of Heart. 8 Heart Containers are obtained from bosses, one each in [[Level 1]] to [[Level 8]]. A single Heart Container can be found on Hyrule's eastern coast, requiring the {{Term|TLoZ|Ladder|link}} to collect. The remaining 4 Heart Containers are offered as gifts in caves, in locations that vary between the First and [[Second Quest]]. In these caves, Link is offered the choice of a Heart Container or a [[Red Potion]]; if Link takes the potion, the Heart Container is [[Permanently_Missable_Items|permanently lost]].
 
In the [[Second Quest]], it is possible to permanently lose a Heart Container in specific rooms, one in [[Level 4]], and two in [[Level 7]], where Link is required to pay either 1 Heart Container or 50 rupees.


{{FS}} and {{FSA}} break from the series standard since Heart Containers are not permanent upgrades. In these titles, stages contain Heart Container upgrades, but the [[Links]] begin the next stage without them. {{TFH}} also breaks from the series standard as there are no obtainable Heart Containers. Instead, the Links can temporarily increase their total number of hearts by entering a Level while wearing the [[Jack of Hearts]], [[Outfit#Queen of Hearts|Queen of Hearts]], or [[Lady's Ensemble]] [[Outfit]]s. Both the Jack of Hearts and Lady's Ensemble increase the Links' shared Hearts by one, whereas the Queen of Hearts Outfit increases their Hearts by three.
==={{TAoL|-}}===
In {{TAoL}}, Link's life is represented by a gauge, which starts with 4 segments. 4 Bowls of Hearts are found throughout the game. Each permanently increases length of the life gauge by 1 segment, up to a maximum of 8, and fully refills the gauge.


Heart Containers can apparently form when people display deep affection for each other, as seen in {{TP}} where [[Yeto]] and [[Yeta]] create [[Heart]]s and a Heart Container in their embrace. ''Twilight Princess'' also considers Pieces of Heart to be sources of love, as seen with [[Madame Fanadi]] when she asks Link for what type of prediction he wants to see.
==={{ALttP|-}}===
In {{ALttP}}, the first additional Heart Container can be found in the {{Term|ALttP|Sanctuary|link}} after the first visit to {{Term|ALttP|Hyrule Castle|link}}; this Heart Container uniquely fully restores Link's health.


In {{BotW}}, Link receives a Heart Container after defeating each of the four bosses found in the [[Divine Beast]]s. Link can also earn Heart Containers by choosing them over a [[Stamina Vessel]] after trading in four [[Spirit Orb]]s to a [[Goddess Statue]] anywhere in [[Hyrule]]. Spirit Orbs are rewarded to Link at the end of every [[Shrine of Trials|Shrine]]. Link can obtain up to 23 Heart Containers from Goddess Statues, allowing him to have a maximum of 30 hearts. If Link instead uses his Spirit Orbs to achieve three full [[Stamina Wheel]]s from the Goddess Statue, he will only have enough Spirit Orbs left to obtain a total of 27 hearts.
An additional 10 Heart Containers are obtained by defeating the bosses of the first 3 [[Light World]] dungeons and the first 7 [[Dark World]] dungeons; unlike most games, boss Heart Containers are mandatory. {{Term|ALttP|Agahnim|link}} does not drop a Heart Container when fought in either Hyrule Castle or {{Term|ALttP|Ganon's Tower|link}}.


By visiting the [[Hateno Village#Horned Statue|Horned Statue]] in [[Hateno Village]], Link can exchange his Heart Containers for Stamina Vessels and vice versa. This is achieved by selling either a Heart Container or a Stamina Vessel to the Horned Statue in exchange for 100 [[Rupee]]s. The Horned Statue then allows Link can then buy one of either item at a higher price of 120 Rupees. This allows Link to change how he spent his Spirit Orbs at the total cost of 20 Rupees for each conversion.
This game introduces {{Plural|ALttP|Piece of Heart|link}}, 4 of which are required to form a Heart Container. 6 Heart Containers are formed this way.
 
==={{LA|-}}===
In {{LA}}, 8 Heart Containers are obtained by defeating bosses, and 3 by collecting 4 {{Plural|LA|Piece of Heart|link}} each. As in {{ALttP}}, boss Heart Containers are mandatory.
 
Starting in this game, collecting any Heart Container fully restores Link's health.
 
==={{OoT|-}}===
In {{OoT}}, 8 Heart Containers are obtained by defeating bosses, and 9 by collecting 4 {{Plural|OoT|Piece of Heart|link}} each. Boss Heart Containers return to being optional, and remain so for the rest of the series.
 
==={{MM|-}}===
In {{MM}}, only 4 Heart Containers can be obtained by defeating bosses. 13 Heart Containers are formed by collecting 4 {{Plural|OoT|Piece of Heart|link}} each, the most in the series.
 
==={{OoA|-}} and {{OoS|-}}===
In both Oracle games, Link starts with a variable number of Heart Containers: 3 in a new game, but 4 in a [[Linked Game]] or when using a Hero's Secret.
 
8 Heart Containers are obtained by defeating bosses, and 3 by collecting 4 {{Plural|LA|Piece of Heart|link}} each, for a total of 14 hearts without linking.
 
An additional full heart container can be obtained only in a [[Linked Game]]; combined with the 4th initial heart, this allows for Link to reach a total of 16 hearts.
 
==={{TWW|-}}===
{{Stub|TWW}}
In {{TWW}}, four {{Plural|TWWHD|Piece of Heart|link}} will create a {{Term|TWWHD|Heart Container}} for {{Term|TWWHD|Link}}. {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} will also be rewarded with a {{Term|TWWHD|Heart Container}} after defeating a {{Term|TWWHD|Boss|link}}. {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} is able to obtain a total of 17 {{Plural|TWWHD|Heart Container}}, which brings his {{Term|TWWHD|Life Gauge|link}} to 20 hearts.
 
==={{FS|-}}===
{{Stub|FS}}
 
==={{FSA|-}}===
{{Manual|FSA|Heart Container|Increase your Heart Meter by one Heart.}}
Unlike most games, Heart Containers in {{FSA}} are not permanent, but reset every [[Stages_in_Four_Swords_Adventures|stage]]. All four Links share the same health total, starting each stage with 4 Heart Containers, only 3 of which are filled. Each stage contains an additional 2 to 4 more Heart Containers.
 
==={{TMC|-}}===
{{Term|TMC|Link|link}} can have a total of 20 {{Plural|TMC|Heart Container|link}} in {{TMC}}. He starts with three and can gain a total of 11 more through {{Plural|TMC|Piece of Heart|link}}; four {{Plural|TMC|Piece of Heart}} equal one {{Term|TMC|Heart Container}}.
 
The remaining six are all obtained as full {{Plural|TMC|Heart Container}}; {{Term|TMC|Link}} gains one after defeating each of the five {{Plural|TMC|Boss|link}} ({{Term|TMC|Big Green Chuchu|link}}, {{Term|TMC|Gleerok|link}}, {{Term|TMC|Mazaal|link}}, {{Term|TMC|Big Octorok|link}}, and the {{Term|TMC|Gyorg Pair|link}}), and one is given to him by {{Term|TMC|Librari|link}}. After {{Term|TMC|Link}} acquires the {{Term|TMC|Wind Element|link}} and infuses it into the {{Term|TMC|White Sword|link}}, turning it into the {{Term|TMC|Four Sword|link}}, the {{Term|TMC|Royal Hyrule Library|link}} is closed, and {{Term|TMC|Librari|link}} moves to a small {{Term|TMC|Minish|link}}-sized {{Term|TMC|House|link}} in the center of {{Term|TMC|Lake Hylia|link}}. The {{Term|TMC|House}} can only be accessed after {{Term|TMC|Link}} {{Term|TMC|Kinstone Fusion|link|display=Fuses}} {{Plural|TMC|Kinstone Piece|link}} with a {{Term|TMC|Forest Picori|link}} in the far eastern portion of {{Term|TMC|Minish Village|link}}, opening a small crack near the {{Term|TMC|Wind Crest|link}} at {{Term|TMC|Lake Hylia}}. When {{Term|TMC|Link}} enters this crack and goes through the tunnel, he emerges in front of {{Term|TMC|Librari}}'s {{Term|TMC|House}}; speaking to {{Term|TMC|Librari}} inside will net him the final full {{Term|TMC|Heart Container}}.
 
==={{TP|-}}===
In {{TP}}, 8 Heart Containers can be obtained by defeating bosses, and 9 by collecting {{Plural|TP|Piece of Heart}}. Unusually, it takes 5 Pieces of Heart, not 4, to form a Heart Container.
 
Heart Containers can apparently form when people display deep affection for each other, as seen where [[Yeto]] and [[Yeta]] create [[Heart]]s and a Heart Container in their embrace. {{TP|-}} also considers Pieces of Heart to be sources of love, as seen with [[Madame Fanadi]] when she asks Link what type of prediction he wants to see.
 
==={{PH|-}}===
The DS games return to the pattern of {{TLoZ}}, offering only full Heart Containers. In {{PH}}, 7 Heart Containers are obtained by defeating bosses, and 6 can be found elsewhere.
{{Stub|PH}}
 
==={{ST|-}}===
{{Stub|ST}}
 
==={{SS|-}}===
In {{SS}}, Link starts with 6 Heart Containers, instead of 3 as in most games.
 
6 Heart Containers are obtained by defeating bosses, and 6 by collecting 4 {{Plural|OoT|Piece of Heart|link}} each, for a total of 18 permanent Heart Containers. 2 additional Heart Containers can be temporarily obtained by equipping {{Plural|SS|Life Medal|link}}.
 
==={{ALBW|-}}===
In {{ALBW}}, 10 Heart Containers are obtained by defeating the bosses of the first 3 {{Term|ALBW|Hyrule|link}} dungeons and the first 7 {{Term|ALBW|Lorule|link}} dungeons. {{Term|ALBW|Yuga|link}} does not drop a Heart Container when fought in {{Term|ALBW|Hyrule Castle|link}} or {{Term|ALBW|Lorule Castle|link}}; however, he does drop one when fought in {{Term|ALBW|Eastern Palace|link}}. Unlike {{ALttP}}, there is no Heart Container in the {{Term|ALBW|Sanctuary|link}}, and boss Heart Containers are not mandatory.
 
The remaining 7 Heart Containers are formed by collecting 4 {{Plural|ALBW|Piece of Heart|link}} each.
 
==={{BotW|-}}===
In {{BotW}}, Link receives a Heart Container after defeating each of the four bosses found in the [[Divine Beast]]s. Link can also earn Heart Containers by choosing them over a [[Stamina Vessel]] after trading in four {{Plural|BotW|Spirit Orb|link}} to a [[Goddess Statue]] anywhere in [[Hyrule]]. Spirit Orbs are rewarded to Link at the end of every [[Ancient Shrine]]. Link can obtain up to 23 Heart Containers from Goddess Statues, allowing him to have a maximum of 30 hearts. If Link instead uses his Spirit Orbs to achieve three full [[Stamina Wheel]]s from the Goddess Statue, he will only have enough Spirit Orbs left to obtain a total of 27 hearts. In ''[[The Champions' Ballad]]'' DLC pack, Link can obtain four extra Spirit Orbs that he can exchange for another Heart Container.
 
By visiting the [[Horned Statue]] in [[Hateno Village]], Link can exchange his Heart Containers for Stamina Vessels and vice versa. This is achieved by selling either a Heart Container or a Stamina Vessel to the Horned Statue in exchange for 100 [[Rupee]]s. The Horned Statue then allows Link can then buy one of either item at a higher price of 120 Rupees. This allows Link to change how he spent his Spirit Orbs at the total cost of 20 Rupees for each conversion.
 
==={{TotK|-}}===
{{Stub|TotK}}
{{Plural|TotK|Heart Container}} in {{TotK}} work identically to their appearance in {{BotW|-}}, where four {{Plural|TotK|Light of Blessing|link}} substitute for the four {{Plural|BotW|Spirit Orb|link}} in {{BotW|-}}. The {{Term|TotK|Horned Statue|link}} works the same way, but is now found underneath {{Term|TotK|Lookout Landing|link}} in the {{Term|TotK|Royal Hidden Passage|link}}.

Note that in ''The Adventure of Link'', Link's health is illustrated by blocks instead of Hearts, and that in ''Four Swords'' and ''Four Swords Adventures'', Heart Containers are not permanent upgrades.

Heart Containers are healing items in {{SSB}}. When picked up, they reduce all damage to 0%. While they are healing, [[Fighter]]s cannot be damaged by opponents. These Heart Containers derive their appearance from the Heart Containers in {{OoT}}.
In every game within the {{ssb|Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series}}, the Heart Container appears as a healing item. In {{SSB}}, it reduces all damage to 0%. In every subsequent game, however, it reduces only 100% of damage. In ''Super Smash Bros.'' and {{SSBM}}, the player that grabbed the Heart Container cannot receive any damage from opponents while the item is restoring health. In {{SSBB}}, any damage that is taken will be subtracted from the 100%.

Damage recovery won't happen instantly, though, so try not to get launched while your damage is counting down. In the ''Legend of Zelda'' series, Heart Containers raise the player's maximum health.
