Health Bar Prefabs
There are two parts to this package the first is the MainHealthBarPrefab. This prefab is a screen space overlay object which is meant for the main player’s health. This features a verticle fill image in the bottom left corner. The second part is the WorldSpaceHealtBarPrefab this is a world space overlay canvas meant for other avatars in your game. This feature a horizontal fill image that floats about the avatars. These UI elements will fill based on the current and max health of the player or enemy avatar. There are three main functions that you will use to update the health bars TakeDamage, HealHealth, and LevelUpHealth. TakeDamage will remove health, HealHealth will give health back, and LevelUpHealth increases the total max health.

In this lesson on to create fun game mechanics in Unity, I will teach you how to code and create Zelda Hearts in Unity. The famous heart health can be found in every Zelda game since the original. This icon game mechanic and is loved by every Zelda fan and add a different take on a typical fill health bar.
To create the Zelda health bar we will need to create a UI panel for holding all the hearts. We will then create the heart prefab. Each heart prefab will form a single linked list. We will then create an algorithm that will recurse through each heart, filling them with the correct fill amount.
