The '''Heart Container''' ({{ja|ハートのうつわ|Hāto no Utsuwa}}, ''Heart Container''), known simply as '''Heart''' in ''[[Smash 64]]'', is an [[item]] that will reduce the [[damage]] of the character who picks it up. Its operation has remained functionally identical, but the nuances of its healing have changed in some of the games.
The '''Heart Container''' ({{ja|ハートのうつわ|Hāto no Utsuwa}}, ''Heart Container''), known simply as '''Heart''' in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', is an [[item]] that will reduce the [[damage]] of the character who picks it up. Its operation has remained functionally identical, but the nuances of its healing have changed in some of the games.


==Operation==
==Origin==
===In standard modes===
[[File:Heart Container TLoZ.png|thumb|left|A Heart Container (to the right of Link), as it originally appeared in ''The Legend of Zelda''.]]
The Heart Container never spawns on the ground; it will always spawn in the air and slowly fall down towards the stage, though it can be consumed while it is in the air.
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. Since its debut, Link is often awarded with a Heart Container after defeating a {{s|zeldawiki|dungeon}}'s boss. Starting in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|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. The design of the Heart Container changed once again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' to match its appearance in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword}}'', giving it a slightly thicker and more detailed aesthetic. The Heart Container retains its ''Skyward Sword'' design, also used in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild}}'', in ''Ultimate''.
{{clrl}}


Upon consumption, the Heart Container recovers an amount of health dependent on the game. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', it will heal the player's health down to 0%; in the later games, it can only heal 100% worth of damage.
==In ''Super Smash Bros.''==
[[File:HeartContainerIconSSB.png|thumb|Heart Container in ''[[Smash 64]]''.]]
Heart Containers take on their appearance from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''. They spawn above the ground and float down slowly, creating a delay before they land. While this has little effect in later games since in them, items can be grabbed in the air, it means that in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' players must fight for the area where it will land as it falls.


In the original game, the Heart Container can "absorb" damage as the player's health decreases; as a result, being hit by an attack that does 10% damage will not inflict the 10% damage while recovering damage. This is not the case in later games.
Once grabbed, the Heart Container heals the user, recovering damage all the way down to 0% (even if the player is hit during this time).  


In ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Melee'', consuming at least two or three Heart Containers in a match, respectively, gives the player the Heartthrob bonus, worth 17,000 points in ''Smash 64'' and 2,800 points in ''Melee''. As the [[Maxim Tomato]] and [[Food]] in ''Melee'' are considered Food items instead of recovery items, consuming three Heart Containers is the only way to attain the Wimp bonus, worth 1,500 points; as a result, the Wimp bonus always overlaps with Heartthrob.
In ''Super Smash Bros.'' consuming at least two or three Heart Containers in a match (respectively) gives the player the Heartthrob bonus, worth 17,000 points in ''SSB'' (8,000 points in the Japanese version of ''SSB'') and 2,800 points in ''Melee''. As the Heart Container is the only healing item in ''Melee'' that is not also a "food" item, consuming three Heart Containers is the only way to attain the Wimp bonus, worth 1,500 points; as a result, the Wimp bonus always overlaps with Heartthrob.
{{clr}}


Heart Containers are not affected by Equipment that increases damage healed in ''SSB4'', as they are not considered "Food". This classification goes to the [[Fairy Bottle]] too.
==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
[[File:HeartcontainerSSBM.png|thumb|Heart Container in ''[[Melee]]'' on {{SSBM|Final Destination}}.]]
Heart Containers again take on their appearance from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''. Heart Containers function similarly to ''64''. However, it now only heals a total of 100%. The player is given three Heart Containers in the [[All-Star Rest Area]] that can heal all of their damage instead of the standard 100%. Due to a glitch, entering the teleporter in ''Melee'' will interrupt the Heart Container's healing and thus not fully heal the player. Completing All-Star Mode in ''Melee'' without using a Heart Container or Continuing gives the player the Melee Master bonus, worth 100,000 points.


===In All-Star Mode===
===Trophy===
In the [[All-Star Mode]] in ''Melee'', and ''Brawl'' as well as ''Brawl's'' [[Boss Battles]] mode, the player is given three Heart Containers in the [[All-Star Rest Area]] that can heal all of their damage instead of the standard 100%. In the two-player, cooperative modes in ''Brawl'', the game instead gives players six Heart Containers; in ''Smash 4's'' All-Star Mode, the player receives only one Heart Container initially and gets two if playing after unlocking all characters, but they also receive a [[Maxim Tomato]] and [[Fairy Bottle]]. Completing All-Star Mode in ''Melee'' without using a Heart Container or Continuing gives the player the Melee Master bonus, worth 100,000 points.

A bug with ''Melee's'' teleporter causes the Heart Container's healing animation to stop early (and thus not fully heal the player) if the player enters it while damage is still being recovered; this bug was fixed in later games.
==In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==
[[File:HeartcontainerSSBB.jpg|thumb|Heart Container in ''[[Brawl]]'' on {{SSBB|Final Destination}}.]]
Heart Containers take on their appearance from ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'', and they function the same as in ''Melee''. If [[All Star]] and [[Boss Battles]] are done in [[Co-op mode]], there are more Heart Containers (six instead of three). There are six with the new three Heart Containers appearing under the platforms which the normal three (from solo mode) hold. Heart containers will now fully heal the user in both modes even should they enter the teleporter while healing.

The Heart Container (ハートのうつわ, Heart Container), known simply as Heart in the original Super Smash Bros., is an item that will reduce the damage of the character who picks it up. Its operation has remained functionally identical, but the nuances of its healing have changed in some of the games.

Origin[edit]

A Heart Container (to the right of Link), as it originally appeared in The Legend of Zelda.

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. Since its debut, Link is often awarded with a Heart Container after defeating a dungeon's boss. Starting in 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. The design of the Heart Container changed once again in Super Smash Bros. 4 to match its appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, giving it a slightly thicker and more detailed aesthetic. The Heart Container retains its Skyward Sword design, also used in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, in Ultimate.

In Super Smash Bros.[edit]

Heart Container in Smash 64.

Heart Containers take on their appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. They spawn above the ground and float down slowly, creating a delay before they land. While this has little effect in later games since in them, items can be grabbed in the air, it means that in the original Super Smash Bros. players must fight for the area where it will land as it falls.

Once grabbed, the Heart Container heals the user, recovering damage all the way down to 0% (even if the player is hit during this time).

In Super Smash Bros. consuming at least two or three Heart Containers in a match (respectively) gives the player the Heartthrob bonus, worth 17,000 points in SSB (8,000 points in the Japanese version of SSB) and 2,800 points in Melee. As the Heart Container is the only healing item in Melee that is not also a "food" item, consuming three Heart Containers is the only way to attain the Wimp bonus, worth 1,500 points; as a result, the Wimp bonus always overlaps with Heartthrob.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

Heart Container in Melee on Final Destination.

Heart Containers again take on their appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Heart Containers function similarly to 64. However, it now only heals a total of 100%. The player is given three Heart Containers in the All-Star Rest Area that can heal all of their damage instead of the standard 100%. Due to a glitch, entering the teleporter in Melee will interrupt the Heart Container's healing and thus not fully heal the player. Completing All-Star Mode in Melee without using a Heart Container or Continuing gives the player the Melee Master bonus, worth 100,000 points.

Trophy[edit]

The Heart Container appears as a collectable trophy.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Heart Containers take on their appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and they function the same as in Melee. If All Star and Boss Battles are done in Co-op mode, there are more Heart Containers (six instead of three). There are six with the new three Heart Containers appearing under the platforms which the normal three (from solo mode) hold. Heart containers will now fully heal the user in both modes even should they enter the teleporter while healing.

Heart Containers take on their appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and they function the same as in Brawl. Heart Containers are not affected by equipment that increases damage healed in SSB4, as they are not "food". This classification goes to the Fairy Bottle too. In Smash 4's All-Star Mode, the player receives only one Heart Container initially and gets two if playing after unlocking all characters, but they also receive a Maxim Tomato and Fairy Bottle.

Vs. Master Fortress[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, a Heart Container will drop on the stage when Master Fortress appears, which fully heals the player like in All-Star Mode. It can be left alone and used in later phases, if the player returns to the stage proper.
