The '''Heart Container''' ({{ja|ハートのうつわ}}, ''hāto no utsuwa'') is an [[item]] that will reduce the [[damage]] of the character who picks it up. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the Heart Container reduces a character's damage to 0%, but in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', it only recovers 100% points of damage. It is unknown how much the item will heal in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. In the original and ''Melee'', a player cannot take any damage for the short amount of time that the heart spends replenishing health, though in ''Brawl'' any damage received during healing will be subtracted from the 100%. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the frequency of an Heart Container appearing on stage is quite rare compared to other items.

The Heart Container made its first appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. At the beginning of ''The Legend of Zelda'', Link starts off with a maximum health capacity of three hearts. When Link finds a Heart Container, it gives him another heart of capacity, allowing him to sustain more damage before dying. Starting in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' Heart Containers would also replenish Link's health to full upon collection. In ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Melee'', the Heart Container's design is based around ''Ocarina of Time's'' Heart Containers. Its appearance changed in ''Brawl'' to the design in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', like most ''Zelda'' content. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCIireS3AYw] The design of the Heart Container changed once again in ''Smash 4'' to match its appearance in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword}}, giving it a thicker and more detailed aesthetic.
