Heart Container (Geometric)

Heart Containers increase Link's Life Gauge, which is represented by a set of Hearts in most games of The Legend of Zelda series except The Adventure of Link, where his health is symbolized by a life bar. Collecting a number of Pieces of Heart, precisely four in most appearances, assembles a Heart Container. Regardless, when Link obtains a Heart Container, his maximum health is increased by one unit. As Link progresses, he will need more health in order to survive the greater challenges. This additional health is acquired in the form of Heart Containers, with each Heart Container adding an extra Heart to the amount of Hearts Link has. A Heart Container is awarded after every major boss in most games. The maximum number of Heart Containers is typically 20 or 16.
