To beat the
game of Zelda with only the three hearts you have at the beginning. This means not picking up any of the
heart pieces at the end of each temple and not doing any other thing that would gain you heart pieces throughout the
game.
"I pretty much owned The 3
Heart Challenge. I must say... not picking up that first heart
piece was truly a
test of will-power... knowing that I would have to fight Ganon with only 3 hearts!"
