The remaining five can be found across the land of [[Hyrule]] in caves.

The second game is unique in the series as Link's health is represented by bars rather than by hearts. Link begins the game with four bars. Additional bars can be added by locating Heart Containers concealed within hidden locations across Hyrule. There are four Heart Containers in the game reaching a maximum of eight bars. Link can also decrease the amount of damage he receives by increasing his Life level. Using the [[Shield Spell]] halves all damage taken, though only temporarily.

However, one of the scattered heart containers is permanently missable, available only from 20-28 minutes on the clock during Week 1 on the south-eastern beach where [[Level 6 (BS The Legend of Zelda MAP 1)|Level 6]] can be found during Week 3.
In addition, a timed event during Week 3 - from 32-42 minutes on the clock - temporarily gives the hero a full 16 heart containers regardless of how many they have acquired.
