In Zelda: A Link to the Past, it is possible to get additional hearts by completing dungeons (which gives you a full heart), by finding very rare full hearts out in the game world, and by collecting pieces of heart in order to create a new, full heart.

What is the maximum number of hearts you can get?

You could have figured this out with a 5 second google search. – Eric B Nov 22 '12 at 14:13

The same could be said for nearly all questions on this site, an argument I've had many times before and demonstrated by answering vast quantities of questions using only Google as a resource - but thanks for the heads up! – kalina Nov 22 '12 at 14:15
The "research effort" clause of the votes probably does apply to some Stack Exchange sites more than others. After all, I did answer the question. – Eric B Nov 22 '12 at 14:18
As usual this has bled out into chat, I can't remove the questions since they've got answers on them and the community is once again split between "doesn't exist on Arqade so it is OK" and "doesn't show much/any research effort" – kalina Nov 22 '12 at 14:20

@Ender not everybody is all that old, in fact, I've only to date played one zelda game and in that game (this one) I haven't collected all of the pieces of heart so I find this a perfectly legitimate question – kalina Nov 22 '12 at 18:57

There are 24 heart pieces, yielding 20 max hearts total.

Their locations are shown in detail here.

That's actually a really good link - thanks! – kalina Nov 22 '12 at 14:23
This tells you how many heart pieces there are, but it doesn't actually tell you what the maximum number of hearts actually is. – fbueckert Nov 22 '12 at 14:23
@fbueckert good point, edited. – Eric B Nov 22 '12 at 14:30
