'''Heart Containers''' are collectible items that increase [[Link]]'s maximum number of hearts by one, also refilling his hearts to full if he has lost any. Heart Containers have been appearing since ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' and have since appeared in every title. They are most commonly found after defeating a dungeon's boss, but can also be found scattered around the landscape, usually in hidden locations. Occasionally, they can be obtained by completing difficult side quests.
