- — In-game description
Pieces of Heart are recurring items in the Legend of Zelda series. They are smaller pieces of a full Heart Container. By collecting the necessary number of Pieces of Heart, Link can create a new Heart Container and thus increase his health meter. Typically, four Pieces of Heart are required to complete one Heart Container; however, in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, five Pieces of Heart are required.
Heart Pieces are found in nearly every Legend of Zelda game, starting with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. They are found in various locations throughout the game, often requiring Link to come back later once he has acquired more items. They are commonly obtained via shops, treasure chests within dungeons, the overworld, or as a reward for helping someone with a task. Pieces of Heart are usually part of the side quests in a game and are not necessary for the completion of the game. They are conspicuously absent in Phantom Hourglass, as Link can find "whole" Heart Containers instead. They also do not appear in Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures, due to the nature of the gameplay.
