  Heart Container #5: After completing the Snow Temple Link should receive a letter from Russell, the swordsman at Hyrule Castle. Check it out and Russell has setup a mini-game of sorts. Link must score at least 60 hits on the three guards to get the Heart Container. The trick is to just stay between the swordsman on the right and at the bottom. Just keep hitting them over and over, and it appears that one of them is reaching back as if they are going to hit Link, quickly turn around and slash at them. Link should be out of reach so the left guard won't be an issue.
