Heart Containers and Triforce

For The Legend of Zelda on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

Link starts with three hearts, and each quest holds 13 Heart Containers that take him to 16: one left by the boss of each of Levels 1 to 8, one lying on the overworld, and 4 in caves where he can take it or a Red Potion. The White Sword needs 5 hearts and the Magical Sword 12.

Each of Levels 1 to 8 also holds a piece of the Triforce of Wisdom, and Level 9 holds the Triforce of Power, which Link gets by beating Ganon.
