Empty Bottle

Bottles are a recurring item in series games.

Uses
Bottles are used to store various items inside for later usage. They are commonly used to store Potions, Fairies, water, Milk, and Chu Jelly. In some other games, Bottles are also used to store Poe Spirits, Fish, Bugs, and Great Fairy's Tears, and other various things. Some Bottles are obtained as rewards for completing certain sidequests or winning certain mini-games, while others can be found through exploration.

In and, Canteens are Bottles used to carry Water of Life, which can be refilled once empty. In The Faces of Evil, Link receives a Canteen from Alora after returning her stolen Necklace from a Gleeok in Spearfish Falls. In The Wand of Gamelon, Zelda receives one from Lady Alma after saving her from Wizzrobe at the Shutoy Lake tower. The Canteens can be refilled by Hamsha and the Fairies of Spearfish Falls in The Faces of Evil, and by the Fairies of the Fairy Pool in The Wand of Gamelon. If no Canteen is present, then they will simply replenish Link's and Zelda's health.

Hyrule Warriors
In, Potions and rescued Fairies are kept inside of Bottles in the inventory. When a Potion is all used up, its Bottle disappears from the inventory, and will only be refilled at the start of a new battle. Warriors may use Potions after crafting a Bottle Badge in the Bazaar, and more uses can be obtained by crafting additional Bottle Badges. Rescued Fairies are automatically kept in separate Bottles once they are rescued, and will disappear from the inventory along with their Bottle once used.

Link is also kept inside of a giant Bottle when using the Great Fairy weapon, as control switches over to the Great Fairy. In certain combo attacks, he will be momentarily released from the Bottle before shortly going back inside.

Trivia

 * The empty Bottle is notable for being an item that is bizarrely usable in certain boss battles involving the Dead Man's Volley combat mechanic, including Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time, Phantom Ganon in The Wind Waker, and Puppet Zelda in Twilight Princess.
