A Link to the Past is the first game in the Zelda series to implement Pieces of Heart. Much like the original The Legend of Zelda, Link starts his quest with 3 full heart containers and receives a full heart container after completing each dungeon. In addition to heart containers, the overworld is filled with 24 pieces of heart. Each time Link collects 4 pieces of heart, a full heart container will be added to his overall health. Completing each major dungeon and collecting all 24 pieces of heart will give Link the maximum of 20 full heart containers. For a complete context as to where you can find all of these heart pieces, check out the A Link to the Past Walkthrough.
