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, usually liquid, things. In most games, Link is 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.
- Link gets the first one by buying it for 100 rupees from a merchant in Kakariko Village.
- Located in the Kakariko bar, entering the bar through the back door.
- Under the stone bridge near Lake Hylia. Link will need the flippers to swim under the bridge. Talk to the guy once there, and he will present Link with it.
- In a blue chest in the blacksmiths' home in the Dark World after Link obtains the Tempered Sword. Take it to the "average guy" in the Desert of Mystery, and promise not to tell anyone he is a thief. He'll open the chest and give Link the empty bottle.
Ocarina of Time
There are four bottles in Ocarina of Time.
Through a glitch in the game, Link can convert useless items into bottles. The downside is they're only good for items he catches and uses manually (fish, fairies, blue flame, and bugs). To convert a useless item, swing a real bottle at something Link can catch in it, press the Start button at mid-swing, swap the bottle on the C icon with the useless C item, and return to gameplay. Because this is due to a game glitch, merchants and cows do not acknowledge converted bottles, and fairies do not uncork themselves to heal Link if he dies.
- 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.
- Located underwater at Lake Hylia near the hidden underwater passage leading from Zora's Domain. It contains Ruto's Letter.
- Obtained by beating the Super Cucco Game in Lon Lon Ranch.

The bottle has dog food in it, and the shopkeeper wants it fed to his dog. After Link goes to the shopkeeper's house near Lake Hylia and feeds the dog, he can keep the bottle.
- Hidden in a cave near Lon Lon Ranch. Collecting it is a very large sidequest. The cave is sealed with a stone wall. Link has to fuse Kinstones with a certain farmer to get a Goron to open the cave.

The prize at the end is the last bottle.
