Empty Bottle



Empty bottles are probably the most useful item in the Zelda games. These bottles, can be found by doing deeds or just by finding them in treasure chests. They are very useful for carrying things that might come in handy such as fish, bugs, water, potions, poes, Lon Lon Milk, fairies, and other various things.



A Link to the Past
They are not called empty bottles in this game, but magic bottles.

Ocarina of Time
There are four bottles in this game.

Note: You can convert useless items into bottles, too. The down side is they're only good for items you catch and use manually (fish, fairies, blue flame and bugs). To convert a useless item, swing a real bottle at something you can catch in it, press the Start button at mid-swing and swap the bottle on the C icon with the useless C item and return to gameplay. Remember, merchants and cows do not acknowledge converted bottles, and fairies do not uncork themselves to heal Link if he dies.

The first (legitimate) bottle is found by completing the "chicken lady"'s challenge as young Link in Kakariko Village-the goal is to round up all of her chickens into the pen next to her. The second is located underwater at Lake Hylia, near the hidden underwater passage leading from Zora's Domain. It contains Ruto's Letter. The next bottle is obtained by beating the Super Cucco Game in Lon Lon Ranch, and the last by collecting all the poes for the Poe trader in Hyrule Castle Town as adult Link.

Majora's Mask
There are six bottles in total in Majora's Mask You get the first one at the posion shop. The second at goron village after racing. And the third at the Great Bay after racing a beaver.

The Wind Waker
Link can receive up to four bottles during his quest to store things in this game. The first can be found on Dragon Roost Island when Link helps Valoo-as a grateful offering from Medli. Mila of Windfall Island also gives Link an empty bottle after being successful with catching her trying to steal from Zunari. Another bottle be found off the coast of Bomb Island, with the aid of the telescope man, inside a chest onboard a submarine. The final bottle is located at Rock Spire Isle (after acquiring the Beedle Chart) inside Beedle's floating shop. It is worth (an extortionate) 500 rupees. With the exception to the first bottle from Medli, there is no real significance as to which order the bottles are obtained in.
