LoZ - Heart Charms & Stamina Charms
When I was a kid, playing my first ever Zelda game, Minish Cap, I wondered how the Heart Containers worked. Like, how does one absorb them, ya know?
I had an idea that people just wear a thing called a Heart Charm & it sort of stores Heart Pieces & Heart Containers for you.
Now that I remember it, I think it was actually a pretty cool idea. And now I wanna expand on it.
My thoughts are that they start out as empty heart-shaped gold cages that can either be worn as a necklace, an earring, a bracelet, whatever. So long as it's worn. And when you piece your first Heart Container together, the cage absorbs it & a tiny red, heart-shaped gemstone appears inside the cage, floating in the center magically.
As you collect more, the gem gets larger until, eventually, it fills the entire cage &, at that point, you have a full Heart Counter & can't get anymore.
At the same time. I believe that this is done because you can't immediately absorb the extra hearts into you & you sort of have to metabolize it. After which, they become a permanent part of you & the gem inside the cage turns grey, meaning that the Heart Charm has been used up & if you want more, then you need a new one.
The amount of Heart Containers that a Heart Charm can contain depends on the person & how much of the Vitality Magic they can take at a time. As you mature over the years & adapt to the magic itself, you'll be able to absorb more.
But in a situation like TotK, 5-6 years is only enough time to be able to get 5 more hearts.
Similarly, I think there'd be a Stamina Charm too with a golden cage of its own that would work similarly to Heart Charms.
