Heart

Recovery Hearts aid Link by replenishing his life energy by one heart at a time. They can be found anywhere in Hyrule, Koholint Island, Termina, Labrynna, Holodrum, the Great Sea, and the World of the Ocean King. Recovery Hearts are uncovered in pots, jars, tall grass, defeated enemies, under rocks and, in many instances, they can even be purchased from shops. They appear as small, floating, red hearts.

One humorous moment in Twilight Princess occurs when Link defeats the boss of the Snowpeak Ruins, Blizzeta, who is actually Yeta, the wife of Yeto. After she is restored, Yeto rushes to Yeta's side and the pair share a romantic moment. At this point, forty recovery hearts burst from the pair, as well as a Heart Container for Link. They also appear near Honey and Darling in Majora's Mask although Link is unable to collect these Hearts.

 Phantom Hourglass introduced a Green Recovery Heart. These replenished the endurance of the S. S. Linebeck and were only found while traveling the Great Sea. These same types of Recovery Hearts are used in Spirit Tracks to heal the Spirit Train.
