Spirit Tracks Heart Containers

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks exclusively uses the Heart Container health system throughout the game; Link will encounter no Heart Pieces anywhere. Link begins his quest with three full heart containers but, as the game goes on, Link will collect heart containers found throughout the overworld and after defeating each dungeon boss. Listed below is each Heart Container, along with where it is obtained and how to obtain it.
