A '''Heart Container''', called a '''Bowl of Hearts''' in the The Official Nintendo Player's Guide entry for {{TAoL}},<ref>{{cite book|quote=This is a Bowl of Hearts which increases Link's Hit-Points. |book=The Official Nintendo Player's Guide |publisher=Nintendo of America |page=44 }}</ref> is an item that increases [[Link]]'s maximum health. In {{LZS|Series}}, Link's health is represented by a set of '''Hearts''', excluding ''The Adventure of Link'', where his health is symbolized by a life bar. After collecting enough [[#Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]], they will be assembled into a Heart Container, increasing Link's maximum health.

'''Lana''' (pronounced {{IPA|ˈlɑːnɑː}} {{Respell|LAH|nah}})<ref>{{Cite web|quote=This is the sorceress of light, Lana, who takes to the battlefield her Book of Sorcery. |published=August 4, 2014|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_DZtTR3zu0&t=11m54s|title=Hyrule Warriors Direct|site=YouTube}}</ref> is a playable Warrior in {{HW}}. She is a sorceress with light-blue hair armed with a book of magic that she uses to cast barriers to disperse enemies. She is described as a very energetic girl with a vast knowledge of magic and monsters.

===Gameplay===
  
  +
[[File:Link gets Heart Container.jpg|thumb|right|Link receiving a Heart Container in ''Twilight Princess'']]
−
Lana is primarily a spell-caster in battle. She is athletic, capable of bounding and leaping across the battlefield with ease. When using her Tome's barriers she can jump off them in acrobatic feats, traversing battlefields swiftly.
  
  +
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, 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.
   
  +
{{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]], [[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.
−
Her starting weapon is the Tome, a book of magic she carries to attack and to cast spells with. When used normally, Lana is able to manipulate the pages of her book to strike her enemies. Its most prominent skill is the conjuration of barriers which can take a variety of shapes. Lana can create walls that surround enemies, shove them away, or even create a cube-shaped barrier that she can roll to plow through hordes. These barriers shatter once they sustain sufficient damage, although Lana can also shatter them at will. Doing so causes damage to many enemies, though Lana can also be harmed. The weapon is of the [[Elemental Effects|Lightning Element]].
  
   
  +
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 Heart Pieces to be sources of love, as seen with [[Madame Fanadi]] when she asks Link for what type of prediction he wants to see.
−
Her second weapon is the [[Spear]]. It is primarily a tool for manipulating trees and plant life, allowing Lana to use water and ice spells. She can also conjure [[Great Deku Tree|Deku Trees]] and sprouts with it. Alternatively, it can change form into a [[Deku Leaf]], an over-sized [[Slingshot]], and the [[Deku Shield]]. The Spear lacks significant speed, though the weapon itself is equipped with proper damage. It is associated with the element of Water.
  
   
  +
===Heart Containers Summary===
−
Her third weapon is the Summoning Gate. Similar to the Spear, Lana uses it to summon creatures to fight for her. Her familiars are mostly enemies such as [[Dodongo]]s, [[Gohma]]s, [[Manhandla]]s, and even [[Argorok]]s. Using her Strong Attack initially will summon a miniature boss monster and be stocked below her life bar. Should Lana use a combo that summons that particular enemy, the finisher will be powered up, such as when she summons Argorok and instead of it merely breathing fire, Lana will proceed to ride it. Overall, the Summoning Gate is a unique weapon with great crowd control, but due to its combos' unwieldy nature and overall low damage it can be difficult to utilize in a situation against a [[Captain (Hyrule Warriors)|Captain]] enemy or a boss. Lana will dance and hum songs while using the Summoning Gate, creating gates for her creatures to appear. It is of the Fire Element.
  
  +
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.

{|class="altrow" style=text-align:center
−
In many cutscenes that feature the White Sorceress, she occasionally leaps a great distance after enforcing powerful electricity to strike the ground and destroying huge amounts of enemies. Lana has also displayed the powers to heal her allies at will. After [[Cia]] claimed the full [[Triforce]] and disrupted space and time, Lana creates a magical barrier that acts as a shield to prevent harm, showing one of her many magical powers once more.

Later on, it is seen that she and [[Cia]] share some of the same abilities such as, duplicating themselves or other creatures, showcasing a ball of energy (lightning or darkness), and both wielding the Gate of Souls. Though it is not stated, Lana and her sister also share the right to control the [[Gate of Souls]] one way or another—Cia preformed her act when forcing three other eras into the present time while Lana herself carries the Gate of Souls as a level three weapon.

===Description===

[[File:MM3D Piece of Heart Icon.png|left]]
−
Lana was originally part of one being, [[Cia]],<ref name="half">{{Cite|I am Cia's... other half. She and I were once the same person.|Lana|HW}}</ref> a powerful sorceress known as the Guardian of Time, was tasked with maintaining the balance of the [[Triforce]].<ref>{{Cite|Deep in the forests, far from mortal eyes, a great sorceress watched over the balance of the Triforce.|Narrator|HW}}</ref> Cia, able to observe distant eras of [[Hyrule]] and those who lived in them with her magic,<ref>{{Cite|Through her magic, she could see across ages, able to read the fates of all who lived, but never interfering.|Narrator|HW}}</ref> became infatuated with [[Link]] and in turn jealous of [[Princess Zelda]].<ref>{{Cite|That is, until a unique soul caught her attention... The soul of the Hero of Legend, eternally reborn when Hyrule's need is greatest.|Narrator|HW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Through her powers, the sorceress should have seen that the hero was bound to another. Instead she saw only a soul that was unlike any she had known.|Narrator|HW}}</ref> Her preoccupied thoughts left her vulnerable as she was approached by a spiritual fragment of darkness, belonging to [[Ganon]]dorf, who saw an opportunity in using her.<ref>{{Cite|And while the sorceress was preoccupied, a fragment of darkness, locked in its prison, saw an opportunity.|Narrator|HW}}</ref> Due to his interference, Cia became corrupted as the light from her soul was pushed away,<ref>{{Cite|The whispering darkness wormed its way into her heart. It pushed the light away and warped her curiosity into a desperate desire to possess the legendary hero's soul.|Narrator|HW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Hmm. I thought I'd separated those two permanently... No matter--I'll just kill them together.|Ganondorf|HW}}</ref> which was physically embodied as the sorceress Lana.<ref>{{Cite|Something took hold of Cia and forced the light from her heart. I'm that light. I'm what was driven out of her.|Lana|HW}}</ref> Like Cia, she too also harbored affections for Link. However, the young sorceress was able to contain her feelings for the hero and accepted that they were not meant to be.<ref name="quote1">{{Cite|You don't always get the person you think you deserve...and I can live with that.|Lana|HW}}</ref>
  
  +
In many games, a Heart Container can formed by collecting four Pieces of Heart.<ref>{{Cite book| quote= TIP: For every four Pieces of Heart you find, you complete another Heart Container.| book= The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker| publisher= Prima Games| page= 15}}</ref> They were introduced in {{ALttP}}, and have since then have appeared in every other title following it. The exceptions being {{PH}} and {{ST}}, in which only full Heart Containers can be found, and {{FS}} and {{FSA}}, in which Heart Containers are not permanent upgrades. Pieces of Heart are scattered throughout the world, and can be found in [[Treasure Chests]],<ref>{{Cite book| quote= Find and open Treasure Chest #11 to pull a chest from the Great Sea near Crescent Moon Island. The chest contains Piece of Heart #4.| book= The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker| publisher= Prima Games| page= 146}}</ref> won in mini-games,<ref>{{Cite book| quote= Enter the lighthouse building [on Windfall Island] and talk to Salvatore, the man behind the counter, to play the Squid-Hunt mini-game...If you're successful, you win Pieces of Heart #2.| book= The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker| publisher= Prima Games| page= 139}}</ref> or given as thanks for helping someone. Obtaining a Piece of Heart will immediately refill all of Link's health, regardless of whether or not that Piece of Heart is completing a Heart Container. The amount of Pieces of Heart depends primarily on how many Heart Containers are in the game; the Pieces of Heart, combined with the Heart Containers, typically add up to a total of 20 Hearts by the end of a game. The number of Heart Pieces in a game is inversely proportional to how many dungeons (therefore, bosses with Heart Containers) are available in that adventure. Because of this, {{MM}} holds currently the record for having the highest number in the series (52, this for featuring only four Heart Containers).
   
  +
{{TP}} breaks the tradition by requiring five Pieces of Heart in order to form a Heart Container instead of the normal four. This is likely due to the high number of Heart Containers present in the game. Although in ''Twilight Princess'' Pieces of Heart are collected in fifths, Link's smallest unit of current health is still fourths.
−
While Cia became the corrupted, wicked side of her former self, Lana became the virtuous side. Cia had opened the [[Gate of Souls]] to wage war over Hyrule,<ref>{{Cite|Having pushed the light from her heart, the darkness compelled her to open the Gate of Souls, the doorway of time itself.|Narrator|HW}}</ref> compelled by the darkness to acquire the full Triforce and to revive Ganondorf.<ref>{{Cite|Of course, this evil had its own desires... To use the Triforce to resurrect itself and conquer Hyrule once again.|Narrator|HW}}</ref> Lana had retreated to the forests of [[Faron Woods (Hyrule Warriors)|Faron Woods]], becoming the leader of a band of resistance fighters and determined to end Cia's machinations.
  
   
  +
In {{SS}}, there are only 24 Pieces of Heart. This is due to the fact that Link starts off with three more hearts than usual, making it so that he begins with six, earns six from defeating bosses, and obtains six from Pieces of Heart, with the last two Heart Containers being potentially temporary items in the form of [[Medal#Life Medal|Life Medals]], which take up a spot in Link's [[Pouch#Skyward Sword|Adventure Pouch]] if he wishes to use them.
−
The [[Forces#Hyrulean Forces|Hyrulean Forces]] later meet Lana at the Faron Woods in "[[Faron Woods (Hyrule Warriors)#The Sorceress of the Woods|The Sorceress of the Woods]]" after hearing rumors of a resistance in the forest led by a young woman.<ref>{{Cite|Impa heard a rumor that a handful of soldiers were holding out against the monsters in Faron Woods. The leader of this resistance was supposedly a young woman.|Narrator|HW}}</ref> They arrive hoping that she is Princess Zelda,<ref>{{Cite|Impa dared to hope that this unknown woman was Zelda.|Narrator|HW}}</ref> who had gone missing shortly after the wars began. Lana becomes of interest when she tells [[Impa]] that she is a sorcerer from the same clan as Cia,<ref>{{Cite|You know the one who started this war? Cia? We come from the same magical clan.|Lana|HW}}</ref> dissembling her identity. Lana says she will only tell more if the Hyrulean Forces help her to defend the forest from the invading [[Forces#Dark Forces|Dark Forces]].<ref>{{Cite|You really want to know? Well... Help me defend the forest.|Lana|HW}}</ref> Link, Impa and [[Sheik]] help Lana to defend the forest from the monster troops and defeat the [[Gohma]] sent by [[Wizzro]]. With the forest base protected, Lana travels with the Hyrulean Forces to the [[Valley of Seers]] where Cia awaits.<ref>{{Cite|Link and Impa decided to join forces with Lana to prevent further tragedy. Although the monsters of Faron Woods had been defeated, Cia still controlled most of Hyrule. Every day more creatures appeared and swarmed the land. Link and Impa fought on against the darkness, sorely missing Zelda's leadership. Only one solution remained--stem the tide of monsters by closing the Gate of Souls. The heroes headed to the Valley of Seers to put an end to the bloodshed.|Narrator|HW}}</ref>
  
   
  +
''The Wind Waker'', ''Twilight Princess'', and ''Skyward Sword'' are the only games in the series to have in-game guides showing where the Pieces of Heart are. ''The Wind Waker'' has the [[Special Chart|Sea and Island Hearts Charts]]<ref>{{Cite book| quote= Find and open Treasure Chart #32 to pull a chest from the Great Sea near the Boating Course. The chest contains the Sea Hearts chart [which contains all locations of Treasure Charts that lead to Pieces of Heart].| book= The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker| publisher= Prima Games| page= 154}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book| quote= Find and open Treasure Chart #19 to pull a chest from the Great Sea. The chest contains the Island of Hearts Chart [which include locations of all Pieces of Heart that aren't found in Treasure Charts].| book= The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker| publisher= Prima Games| page= 157}}</ref> that reveal their location in both sea and islands. ''Twilight Princess'' has the fortune teller [[Madame Fanadi]] who can guide Link to them by paying a fee. In ''Skyward Sword'', [[Sparrot]], a fortune-teller similar to Fanadi, will give Link hints on where to find Pieces of Heart.
−
After the [[Valley of Seers#The Sorceress of the Valley|battle]] at the Valley of Seers, Link and Sheik confront Cia, but she is able to steal their [[Triforce of Courage]] and [[Triforce of Wisdom]], respectively. With the full Triforce now in her possession, Cia then uses the Gate of Souls to summon entire worlds from other ages and merges them into present-day Hyrule. To escape the effects of this, Lana flees with the group and has them stand around her, casting a protective barrier around them as they watch the fusion take place. Three of Ganondorf's scattered fragments are freed in this process and return to Cia, leaving only the fragment sealed by the [[Master Sword]], with three Gates of Souls also opening in the new worlds.<ref>{{Cite|The only piece that remains is the one trapped by the Master Sword...|Ganondorf|W}}</ref> The Hyrulean Forces resolve to close these gates and split up, with Lana heading into the [[Era of Twilight]] portal.
  
   
  +
It is unknown if any character other than Link understands the use and purpose of the Pieces of Heart, or if any character other than Link can use the Pieces of Heart, as very few characters ever have anything to say about them, even when handing them out as rewards. In ''Twilight Princess'', if Link catches the Piece of Heart while fishing in the [[Fishing Hole]], [[Hena]] will remark "Whose heart did you catch? You big sweetheart!" In ''Skyward Sword'', [[Beedle]] will eventually sell Link a Piece of Heart starting at 1600 [[Rupee]]s. If Link asks Beedle about the item so that he can buy it, Beedle will tell him that he does not actually know what it is, and that he found it somewhere nearby. In the [[Lumpy Pumpkin]], one of the first Pieces of Heart available in the game is located on the chandelier hanging in the center of the place. If one speaks to [[Kina]], she remarks that the Rupees on the chandelier may have caught Link's eye, and that he cannot get them, nor should he even think about trying. She makes no mention of the Piece of Heart on the chandelier, as it is likely the first thing that catches the attention of anyone upon entering the restaurant. Fortune Tellers who give hints leading to the location of Pieces of Heart refer to them as something having to do with love.
−
In "[[Twilight Field#Land of Twilight|Land of Twilight]]" while stepping into the [[Twilight Field]], Lana comes upon a [[Kakariko Village|small village]] and rescues [[Agitha]] from a group of monsters, who in turn aids the sorceress in her mission by using a [[Goddess Butterfly]] to guide both of them through the [[Twilight]].<ref>{{Cite|Gate of Souls..? Never seen one. But I can take you right to where you want to go! [...] With this Goddess Butterfly, of course! It will guide us through the Twilight Realm.|Agitha|HW}}</ref> The duo soon encounter [[Midna]] and are mistaken by the Twilight Princess as Cia's allies, ensuing in battle before Midna realizes her error and joins the Hyrule Forces' quest to stop Cia.<ref>{{Cite|Fine, take the butterfly, but... Wait. You're not with the witch?|Midna|HW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|No. Completely the opposite. We're heading to the Gate of Souls to try to stop her.|Lana|HW}}</ref> Following the lead of the Goddess Butterfly, the group arrive to the [[Palace of Twilight (Hyrule Warriors)|Palace of Twilight]] and defeat [[Zant]], with Lana using her powers to close the Gate of Souls.<ref>{{Cite|The heroes followed the Goddess Butterfly, eventually arriving at the Palace of Twilight.|Narrator|HW}}</ref> Cia arrives to the scene soon after and is attacked by Midna for mocking her new appearance, knocking off her mask and revealing her face as identical to Lana's.<ref>{{Cite|Lana, her face... It looks just like yours...|Midna|HW}}</ref> As Cia leaves, Lana is forced to explain her story to Midna.

===Pieces of Heart Summary===

The Hyrulean Forces later reunite after closing the three Gates, and Lana again explains to everyone that she and Cia are actually the same person.<ref>{{Cite|Cia and I... We're not just from the same clan. We're actually...the same person.|Cia|HW}}</ref> Upon arriving to the [[Temple of the Sacred Sword]], Link and Zelda realize that their Triforce pieces have returned (unbeknownst to them as a means of Cia preventing Ganondorf from taking them), prompting Lana to suggest to counterattack now that Cia's power has diminished.<ref>{{Cite|It's not exactly sure how, but Cia's power has been greatly diminished. If 'were going to counterattack, we have to do it now!|Lana|HW}}</ref> To accomplish this, the Hyrulean Forces aid Link in retrieving the Master Sword and use it to fight against the evil sorceress at the [[Temple of Souls]]. Cia and her Forces are overcome despite the sorceress's immense efforts to stop the heroes, pushing herself to her limits to summon large hordes of monsters.<ref>{{Cite|If I can no longer pull from the darkness in Link's heart... Then I'll pull from my own!|Cia|HW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Cia has summoned a great number of monsters!|N/A|HW}}</ref> Concerned for her other half's well-being, Lana pleads Cia to stop using magic that her spirit cannot contain, but the evil sorceress berates her and escapes to the Valley of Seers.<ref>{{Cite|Cia, stop it!

I won't be lectured by a happy little goody-goody like you!|Cia|HW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|She found new ways to fortify her troops using her own life force. The cost to herself was irrelevant, so long as she crushed her enemies.|Narrator|HW}}</ref> When the allies arrive to the valley, Lana is pained to watch Cia continuing to pull from her life force to summon hordes of monsters and asks her once again to stop,<ref>{{Cite|Cia! Stop! Your spirit can't take much more of this!|Lana|Hyrule Warriors}}</ref> but her counterpart refuses to listen and is defeated by Link. Rushing to her side, Lana tries to comfort Cia, who asks her how she is able to contain her feelings despite knowing that Link will never be by her side.<ref>{{Cite|We've seen how this ends... and we both know he doesn't choose you. How do you do it...knowing you get left behind?|Cia|HW}}</ref> Lana explains that she accepts the fact that Zelda and the young hero are destined to always save Hyrule together, and at hearing this, Cia commends her for her strength and fades away, leaving Lana with the [[Triforce of Power]].<ref name="always">{{Cite|No matter what, you two always save Hyrule...together.|Lana|HW}}</ref><ref name="quote1"/><ref>{{Cite|You always were...my better half...|Cia|HW}}</ref> Lana then sends the new Allies back to their respective eras and, with the combined power of Link's, Zelda's and her Triforce pieces, she returns Hyrule back to its original state. Zelda asks Lana if they will ever see her again, but she sadly bids them good-bye and leaves to close the Valley of Seers' Gate of Souls.

The returned peace is short-lived however as Ganondorf's final fragment is freed as a result of the earlier removal of the Master Sword. Now revived, he plots to build an army to take the Triforce.

In {{TFoE}} and {{TWoG}}, Heart Containers are called '''Life Hearts'''.

Template:Sources [[File:File:Heart container SS.png.png|20x20px]] [[|]] A Heart Container, called a Bowl of Hearts in the The Official Nintendo Player's Guide entry for The Adventure of Link,[1] is an item that increases Link's maximum health. In Template:LZS, Link's health is represented by a set of Hearts, excluding The Adventure of Link, where his health is symbolized by a life bar. After collecting enough Pieces of Heart, they will be assembled into a Heart Container, increasing Link's maximum health.

Link receiving a Heart Container in Twilight Princess

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, with each Heart Container adding one whole heart to the amount of hearts Link has.[2] A Heart Container is awarded after every major boss in most games.[3] Most games finish with Link having gained a total of 20 hearts. It is possible to finish some games without collecting any Heart Containers.

Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures 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. Tri Force Heroes 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, Queen of Hearts, or Lady's Ensemble Outfits. 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.

Heart Containers can apparently form when people display deep affection for each other, as seen in Twilight Princess where Yeto and Yeta create Hearts and a Heart Container in their embrace. Twilight Princess also considers Heart Pieces to be sources of love, as seen with Madame Fanadi when she asks Link for what type of prediction he wants to see.

Heart Containers Summary

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.

Description

MM3D Piece of Heart Icon

In many games, a Heart Container can formed by collecting four Pieces of Heart.[4] They were introduced in A Link to the Past, and have since then have appeared in every other title following it. The exceptions being Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, in which only full Heart Containers can be found, and Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures, in which Heart Containers are not permanent upgrades. Pieces of Heart are scattered throughout the world, and can be found in Treasure Chests,[5] won in mini-games,[6] or given as thanks for helping someone. Obtaining a Piece of Heart will immediately refill all of Link's health, regardless of whether or not that Piece of Heart is completing a Heart Container. The amount of Pieces of Heart depends primarily on how many Heart Containers are in the game; the Pieces of Heart, combined with the Heart Containers, typically add up to a total of 20 Hearts by the end of a game. The number of Heart Pieces in a game is inversely proportional to how many dungeons (therefore, bosses with Heart Containers) are available in that adventure. Because of this, Majora's Mask holds currently the record for having the highest number in the series (52, this for featuring only four Heart Containers).

Twilight Princess breaks the tradition by requiring five Pieces of Heart in order to form a Heart Container instead of the normal four. This is likely due to the high number of Heart Containers present in the game. Although in Twilight Princess Pieces of Heart are collected in fifths, Link's smallest unit of current health is still fourths.

In Skyward Sword, there are only 24 Pieces of Heart. This is due to the fact that Link starts off with three more hearts than usual, making it so that he begins with six, earns six from defeating bosses, and obtains six from Pieces of Heart, with the last two Heart Containers being potentially temporary items in the form of Life Medals, which take up a spot in Link's Adventure Pouch if he wishes to use them.

The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword are the only games in the series to have in-game guides showing where the Pieces of Heart are. The Wind Waker has the Sea and Island Hearts Charts[7][8] that reveal their location in both sea and islands. Twilight Princess has the fortune teller Madame Fanadi who can guide Link to them by paying a fee. In Skyward Sword, Sparrot, a fortune-teller similar to Fanadi, will give Link hints on where to find Pieces of Heart.

It is unknown if any character other than Link understands the use and purpose of the Pieces of Heart, or if any character other than Link can use the Pieces of Heart, as very few characters ever have anything to say about them, even when handing them out as rewards. In Twilight Princess, if Link catches the Piece of Heart while fishing in the Fishing Hole, Hena will remark "Whose heart did you catch? You big sweetheart!" In Skyward Sword, Beedle will eventually sell Link a Piece of Heart starting at 1600 Rupees. If Link asks Beedle about the item so that he can buy it, Beedle will tell him that he does not actually know what it is, and that he found it somewhere nearby. In the Lumpy Pumpkin, one of the first Pieces of Heart available in the game is located on the chandelier hanging in the center of the place. If one speaks to Kina, she remarks that the Rupees on the chandelier may have caught Link's eye, and that he cannot get them, nor should he even think about trying. She makes no mention of the Piece of Heart on the chandelier, as it is likely the first thing that catches the attention of anyone upon entering the restaurant. Fortune Tellers who give hints leading to the location of Pieces of Heart refer to them as something having to do with love.

In The Faces of Evil and The Wand of Gamelon, Heart Containers are called Life Hearts. Link and Zelda both start out with three, and gradually earn more as they complete errands and defeat certain bosses. In The Faces of Evil, more Life Hearts can be obtained from the Fairies in Spearfish Falls, by defeating Goronu, and by rescuing the Blacksmith's Daughter in Shipwreck Cliff. In The Wand of Gamelon, Life Hearts can be obtained by the Fairies in the Fairy Pool, by defeating the Iron Knuckle in Tykogi Tower, and by defeating Hektan in Dodomai Palace.

In Zelda's Adventure, Heart Containers appear as heart-shaped jewels called Crystal Hearts.[9] Zelda initially starts out with three, and earns more as she defeats the Shrine Keepers of Tolemac. Four Crystal Hearts can also be found hidden throughout the land, and will increase Zelda's heart meter by one when she finds one.

Super Smash Bros. Series

In every game within the Super Smash Bros. series, the Heart Container appears as a healing item. In Super Smash Bros., it reduces all damage to 0%. In every subsequent game, however, it reduces only 100% of damage. In Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, the player that grabbed the Heart Container cannot receive any damage from opponents while the item is restoring health. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, any damage that is taken will be subtracted from the 100%.
