Sky is the limit and that limit says 20. Yes, you've seen correctly, the remake of Link's Awakening raised the total number of Heart Containers from 14 to 20. That's six more Heart Containers to collect than in the original!
Mostly, this should result in additional Pieces of Heart, where we've already seen a new one in the Trendy Game during the Treehouse Live footage. It also seemed like there is one in the Tabahl Wasteland, right below Dampé's Shack. And there are plenty of other places, where they could hide additional Pieces of Hearts:
- As rewards from the Seashell Mansion.
- As rewards from the new pedestal side quest.
- As rewards from completing Chamber Dungeon panels.
- In treasure chests that previously only contained Rupees.
- As a gift from the hidden Zora in Animal Village.
- Somewhere on the Rapids Ride. In the original the main reason to play this part was to complete your map.
- Behind the one bridge in the Tal Tal Heights, which is now useless again.
And so on... However, we're talking about 24 additional Heart Pieces here, which is twice as much as the original game had! So, maybe we're also getting some full Heart Containers in certain places. For example the boss in the Color Dungeon could give you one and maybe there really is some additional dungeon somewhere, which they haven't shown yet (which is unlikely, because they certainly would have shown this at E3).
Some of the Chamber Dungeon challenges could also give full Heart Containers instead of Pieces. Maybe the Chamber Dungeon will even feature bosses, which weren't there in the original game, where upon defeating them for the first time you're rewarded with a Heart Container.
In the end there could be 12 new Heart Pieces and three new Heart Containers for a good mix. But it will certainly be interesting to find out where all the additional hearts are coming from.
