Apple

Apples are recurring items found in, and.

A Link to the Past
In, Apples are a health-restoring item that can only be obtained by dashing into Trees with the Pegasus Boots. Apples are also the answer to one of the Lumberjack's riddles in A Link to the Past & Four Swords.

Twilight Princess
In, Apples are found in the stalls of Hyrule Castle Town's South Road. However, Link cannot actually take or use them.

A Link Between Worlds
In, Apples serve the same purpose as in A Link to the Past, recovering one Heart, and they can be stored in Bottles. Next to Link's House, an Apple tree grows Apples with every StreetPass encounter, starting with three and reaching a maximum of 20.

A Link Between Worlds also introduces Green Apples, restoring three Hearts instead. Green Apples grow on the same apple trees red apples do, most notably on the StreetPass Tree near Link's house; there is a small chance that, whenever an apple is loaded, it loads as a Green Apple instead of a red one. A Green Apple is stronger than its red brethren, as it restores three hearts, two more than a red apple. Despite its superior health recovery properties, Green Apples are stated to have inferior taste compared to their red counterparts.

Despite the fact that both an Apple and a Green Apple may be carried simultaneously, StreetPass challenges consider the Green Apple an upgraded version of the Apple, and thus using a Green Apple in a StreetPass battle will yield a medal for the Apple as well as for the Green Apple should the medal for the Apple not yet have been obtained.
