Heart Containers are items featured in every installment of The Legend of Zelda series, which increase Link's maximum health by one unit. Heart Containers also appear as items in the Super Smash Bros. series as recovery items. Heart Containers drift to the ground slowly. In the first two games, they cannot be picked up until they touch the ground. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl onward, however, they can be grabbed in mid-air.

In Super Smash Bros., Heart Containers heal all damage, returning the player's damage level to 0%. Their design is taken from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In Super Smash Bros. Melee onward, however, the Heart Container's effect has been changed to only healing up to 100% of damage. However, the three Heart Containers seen in the All-Star mode still recover all damage. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the design of the Heart Container has been changed so as to reflect their appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, they take their appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

Heart Containers drift toward the ground slowly and replenish 100 percentage points of health. In The Legend of Zelda, these items beefed up Link's life meter; in most cases, Link found them in the possession of bosses or hidden in secret areas. Heart Containers are often scattered across the land in several fragments.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Heart Container File:BrawlTrophy490.png NES The Legend of Zelda The best recovery item! Grab this and heal 100 percentage points of damage. It falls slowly, so it's best to grab it in midair. Damage recovery won't happen instantly, though, so try not to get launched while your damage is counting down. In the Legend of Zelda series, Heart Containers raise the player's maximum health. Bosses always have one in their possession.

An important item in the Legend of Zelda series, this item would appear when you beat a boss and increase your life by one when collected. In Smash Bros., grabbing this will heal 100 points of damage. Grab it as it gently floats to the ground! A quintessential item from the Legend of Zelda series that raises your max health. In those games, you have to defeat bosses to get them, but in this one, they'll just fall from the sky, which makes things a whole lot easier. If you see one, grab it quick - in mid-air if you can! Why? To take 100 off your damage - that's why!

Blue indicates exclusive to the Wii U version.
