— In-game description

Hearts, also referred to as Recovery Hearts (回復のハート Kaifuku no Hāto?), are recurring items in the Legend of Zelda series. They are curative items that restore Link's Heart Containers, and are the unit of measurement of health used prevalently throughout the series. When Link touches a Heart, it refills one Heart Container. Hearts can be found in grass, in trees, after a monster is slain, in Treasure Chests, and even in some shops; though the number of hearts available for sale vary, the price itself is always 10 Rupees. Hearts that are dropped by enemies or found by wrecking obstacles will eventually disappear if Link does not pick them up.

Appearances Edit

The Legend of Zelda Edit

Heart (LoZ)

Hearts are pure red in appearance, and they appear occasionally when Link slays enemies or uncover them from grass or rocks.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Edit

Hearts have a black outline, with red inside and a white core.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Edit

Heart

Hearts are the same in appearance as A Link to the Past.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Edit

Heart (Ocarina of Time)

Hearts have a somewhat sharp-edged design to them, and have a semi-transparent red coloring to it. They are also sold in singles in Kokiri Shop, Goron Shop, Zora Shop, and the Bazaar, all for 10 Rupees.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Edit

Heart (Majora's Mask)

Hearts in Majora's Mask have a smoother appearance and deeper red coloring than in Ocarina of Time. Locations which held a Piece of Heart that has already been obtained will instead hold a Recovery Heart when visited on a subsequent three-day cycle.

Hearts are also used to humorously represent love and adoration throughout the series; when Link rescues the Seahorse and reunites it with its lover, hearts appear above their heads. Also, while Honey & Darling are dancing hearts appear around them in the three mini games at Honey & Darling's Shop.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons Edit

Heart (Oracle of Ages and Seasons)

Hearts are the same in appearance as A Link to the Past. They are also sold in bulks of three for 10 Rupees or Ore Chunks, in Lynna City Shop, Horon Village Shop and Subrosia Market. In Subrosia Market, Hearts are incorrectly identified as "Peaches", and are placed upside down to further emphasize this appearance.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Edit

Hearts are the same in appearance as A Link to the Past.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Edit

Hearts are similar in appearance as Majora's Mask, with the addition of cel-shading. They can be found in Jars, Skulls, rocks, and grass as well as from defeating enemies.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures Edit

Hearts are the same in appearance as A Link to the Past.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Edit

Recovery Heart MC

Hearts are the same in appearance as A Link to the Past.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Edit

In Twilight Princess, 40 Hearts and a Heart Container appear when Yeto and Yeta hug in the Snowpeak Ruins after Link defeats Blizzeta. A single heart will also appear if you talk to them again right after the cut-scene. Another example of this is the creation of three Hearts from Kili, Hanna, and Misha if Link talks to them after winning the first round of the STAR Game.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Edit

Hearts are the same in appearance as A Link to the Past.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Edit

Hearts are the same in appearance as A Link to the Past.

Heart (Skyward Sword)

In Skyward Sword, there are also Heart Flowers in various areas, allowing Link to access recovery. The Heart Medal increases the chances of enemies dropping hearts. In Hero Mode, Heart Flowers and Hearts will appear only if Link has a Heart Medal equipped. Link can also Dowse for hearts.
