'''Pieces of Heart''', occasionally formatted '''pieces of Heart''', '''Pieces Of Heart'''<ref name=SNES>''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' instruction booklet, page 28.</ref> or '''pieces of heart''', and also referred to as '''Pieces Of Heart Containers'''<ref name=SNES/> or '''Heart Pieces'''<ref>''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' Nintendo 64 instruction booklet, page 29.</ref>, are items in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series that represent a fraction of a complete [[Heart Container]]. When a certain number of Pieces of Hearts are collected, usually four, another [[heart]] is added to [[Link]]'s health meter. Pieces of Heart first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', where they replace the overworld Heart Containers from the first ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' game. Pieces of Heart resemble heart-shaped glass containers with a heart inside, similar to Heart Containers, except Pieces of Heart can be distinguished for encasing a smaller heart. Pieces of Heart are usually found throughout the [[overworld]], within a [[Treasure Chest]], or obtained for completing a [[sidequest]].
