Life Orb
This item does not exist in the official Prince of Persia game canon.
The Life Orb is not an item within the standard Prince of Persia franchise canon. No official game in the series—including The Sands of Time trilogy, The Two Thrones, or the 2008 reboot—features an object by this specific name as a collectible, equipment piece, or power-up. The franchise relies on health regeneration mechanics, amulets like the Amulet of Power, and specific artifacts such as the Dagger of Time, but never a "Life Orb." Consequently, there is no authoritative lore, gameplay function, or release history for this subject within the Prince of Persia universe.

Lore & Background
Within the established history of the Prince of Persia series, developed by companies such as Ubisoft Montreal and originally by Jordan Mechner's studio, there is no record of an artifact known as the Life Orb. The games typically feature health systems where the player regenerates vitality over time or through specific environmental interactions, rather than collecting orbs to restore life. Confusion may arise from similar concepts in other fantasy franchises, but no such item has ever been implemented in a Prince of Persia title.
Reader's Guide
Since the Life Orb is not part of the Prince of Persia canon, there are no acquisition methods or strategic uses to detail. Players seeking health management should instead rely on the series' established mechanics: dodging attacks to trigger regeneration in the Sands of Time trilogy or using the Dagger of Time to rewind fatal mistakes. No hidden caches, merchant exchanges, or quest rewards involve this specific item name.
