Heart


 * For the recurring item obtained after each Boss, see Heart Container.

Hearts, also referred to as Recovery Hearts, are recurring items in the Legend of Zelda series. They are curative items that restore Link's Heart Containers, and are the unit of measurement of health used prevalently throughout the series. When Link touches a Heart, it refills one Heart Container. Hearts can be found in the grass, in trees, after a monster is slain, in Treasure Chests, and even in some shops; though the number of hearts available for sale vary, the price itself is always 10 Rupees. In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, locations which held a Piece of Heart that has already been obtained will instead hold a Recovery Heart when visited on a subsequent three-day cycle.

Hearts are also used to humorously represent love and adoration throughout the series; when Link rescues the Seahorse in Majora's Mask and reunites it with its lover, hearts appear above their heads. Also, in Majora's Mask while Honey & Darling are dancing hearts appear around them in the three mini games at Honey & Darling's Shop. In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, 40 Hearts and a Heart Container appear when Yeto and Yeta hug in the Snowpeak Ruins after Link defeats Blizzeta. Another example of this is the creation of three Hearts from Kili, Hanna, and Misha if Link talks to them after winning the first round of the STAR Game.

In The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword trailer, Link is seen shooting a heart with an arrow. This could be a mini-game or a method of collecting them.
