Empty Bottle

Empty bottles are probably the most useful item in The Legend of Zelda games. These bottles, can be found by doing certain sidequests, or just by finding them in certain hidden areas. Some need to be obtained to progress through the game. An empty bottle is an item that is used for storing other items like water, potions, fairies, poes, Chu Jelly, milk, fish, bugs, Great Fairy's Tears, and other various things. In most games, you are only able to collect four bottles, however Majora's Mask has six.



A Link to the Past
They are not called empty bottles in A Link to the Past, but magic bottles, however many things in A Link to the Past are called magic, even though some have no magical properties whatsoever.


 * 1) You get the first one by buying it for 100 rupees from a merchant in Kakariko Village.
 * 2) The second one is located in the Kakariko bar, entering it through the back door.
 * 3) The third one is under the stone bridge near Lake Hylia. You'll need the flippers to swim under the bridge. Talk to the guy once there and he will present you with it.
 * 4) The last bottle is in a blue chest in the blacksmith's home in the Dark World after you obtain the Tempered Sword. Take it to the "average guy" in the Desert of Mystery and promise him you wont tell he is a thief. He'll open the chest and give you the empty bottle.

Ocarina of Time
There are four bottles in Ocarina of Time.

You can convert useless items into bottles, too. The downside 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.


 * 1) The first (legitimate) bottle is found by completing the Cucco 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
 * 2) The second is located underwater at Lake Hylia, near the hidden underwater passage leading from Zora's Domain. It contains Ruto's Letter
 * 3) The next bottle is obtained by beating the Super Cucco Game in Lon Lon Ranch
 * 4) 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, though not technically in this order.


 * 1) You get the first one at the potion shop.
 * 2) The second after winning the Goron Races, and contains Gold Dust.
 * 3) And the third at the Great Bay after winning the Beaver Falls Race.
 * 4) A fourth is found in the Milk Bar the third night, after self-handedly delivering the Special Delivery to Mama item to Madame Aroma.
 * 5) The fifth is received from Romani after Helping Romani and Cremia, and contains Chateau Romani
 * 6) The final bottle is found in the Ikana Graveyard. Using the Captain's Hat, have the Stalchildren open the grave after 6PM on the Final Day. Inside, help Dampé dig up 6 patches of dirt, and defeat the Big Poe to reveal a Chest containing the final bottle.

The Wind Waker
Link can receive up to four bottles during his quest to store things in The Wind Waker.


 * 1) The first can be found on Dragon Roost Island when Link helps Valoo - as a grateful offering from Medli.
 * 2) Mila of Windfall Island also gives Link an empty bottle after being successful with catching her trying to steal from Zunari.
 * 3) Another bottle be found off the coast of Bomb Island, with the aid of the telescope man, inside a chest on board a submarine.
 * 4) The final bottle is located at Rock Spire Isle (after acquiring Beedle's 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.

The Minish Cap


Link can recieve up to four bottles and put items in them

1.The first bottle is found in Tribly Highlands by defeating a Deku Scrub. He will then give you the bottle if you pay him 20 rupees. This bottle is important to continue onwards.

The rest of the bottle section will be done.

Twilight Princess
There are four bottles in Twilight Princess which are found, purchased, or given:


 * 1) Given to you by Sera as a reward for returning her cat. The bottle is already half-full of milk. It is also required to obtain this bottle to progress further in the game.
 * 2) Bought from Coro in the Faron Woods. He offers to sell it to you (full of Lantern Oil) after he gives you the key to the gate to the Forest Temple. This occurs after you restore the light to Faron Woods.
 * 3) Found in Hena's Fishing Hole. Fish in the small pond near the bridge on the west end enough times and you'll pull it up.
 * 4) Given to you by Jovani for returning 20 Poe Souls to him. It's full of Great Fairy's Tears when you get it.

Interestingly, Agitha carries two Bottles with her in a basket; however, these are unobtainable.

Trivia
In Ocarina of Time, besides the Blade of Evil's Bane, the only other thing which can repel Ganondorf's energy attacks is an empty bottle.

Also, in Twilight Princess, when Ganon controls Zelda, the bottle can reflect the energy ball she sent back at her.
