Note: This guide is a work in progress as we learn the exact unlock requirements for every heart piece and container in the game.
Most of the locations are already listed below, but many of them are missing the exact unlock requirements. We'll keep updating this so stay tuned.
What? Just because Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition isn't a traditional Zelda game, doesn't mean it can't have heart pieces. There's a ton to gather here, and if you gather four of them you'll get an extra heart. There's even heart containers to collect that give you a full heart each time you collect one. That's good because it will help you last longer in battle.
In this guide, we're going to help you gather every single heart container in the game, for each character, so you can bring down Ganondorf and save Hyrule a little easier.

It would be more helpful to list where exactly on the map the pieces are. Sometimes they are rewards for clearing keeps and sometimes they are under boulders.
@Banjos_Backpack I hadn't played a 'Warriors' game since one on my friend's PS2 in high school, so I was purely jumping in based on reviews and other's experience with the Wii U version (I skipped Wii U console, as well). I'm really enjoying it, and can definitely agree with @thiz in that the separate leveling system doesn't present a big issue. Rupees fall from the sky, and I get weapon drops that I sell for even more. In one session last night, I spent 40 minutes on a few levels and came away with close to 200k which was enough to bring Young link from level 13 to 32, without breaking into the 300k I try to keep on hand.
The Legend, or 'story', mode is cool but the real value is in the adventure maps. Heart containers, clothing, My Fairy items, skulltulas; it's all over the place. If you enjoy finding everything in Zelda games, that's where the meat truly is. I think it's a great value and has broken me away from DKC:TF for now.
Now this, ladies and gentlemen, is clickbait. This isn’t a guide at all. It’s a checklist much like the one’s you’d find in the back of the strategy guides of old. But since each location is listed, it’ll come up pretty high on the search engine, so NL gets clicks, and in turn, ads, for little to no effort.

Well that was certainly better than the "c" guide. Good job here.
GameFaqs does this better.
i know it would never happen but i would like to have a Warcraft Warriors game.
