Item class	Damage Recovering

The Heart Container 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 Melee and Brawl, it only recovers 100% max. In each game, a player cannot take any damage for the short amount of time that the heart spends replenishing health. The Heart Container is from the Zelda series.

In SSBM's All-Star Mode, every character must be fought consecutively with only three special Heart Containers used to heal between matches. In this mode, they will completely heal the character. SSBB's All-Star and Boss Battles modes are the same, but five of the special Heart Containers are available if co-op play is chosen.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, like Link and Zelda, its appearance is based on its look in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Zelda series characters can use a Piece of Heart sticker that will add an additional 50% to the Heart Container's healing effect in Subspace Emissary mode.

Overview

The Heart Container is a recurring item in The Legend of Zelda series. It first appeared in The Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Entertainment System. They are obtained by defeating a boss. When Link obtains one, his health is increased by adding one heart to his life meter.

In the Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros.

In Super Smash Bros., when you use a Heart Container, your health will be fully restored, even if you are at 999% damage.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Heart Containers heal 100% of your health. However, when you play All-Star Mode, the three Heart Containers given to you will fully heal you, just like they did in Super Smash Bros.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Heart Containers in Super Smash Bros. Brawl are the same as their Melee counterparts, except the item's design now uses the model from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Trophy Info

Melee

"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."

Game: The Legend of Zelda (07/87)

Brawl

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.
