Location and Uses

Empty Bottles are items used to store a variety of other items, such as Potions, Fairies, and Insects, for use at a later time. Link is able to collect multiple Empty Bottles in each game that they appear. A recurring ability of these Bottles is that a bottled Fairy will be automatically released if Link falls in battle, reviving him and restoring some of his Life.

A Link to the Past

In A Link to the Past, the Bug Catching Net is required to catch Fairies and Bees to store in Bottles. A Bee released from a Bottle will attack nearby enemies instead of Link.

Four Bottles can be collected in A Link to the Past:

  1. Sold by the Street Merchant in Kakariko Village for 100 Rupees.[7]
  2. Found inside a Treasure Chest at the back of the Kakariko Village inn.
  3. Obtained from the man underneath the stone bridge near Lake Hylia.[8]
  4. Found inside a blue Treasure Chest in the Dark World equivalent of the Smithery after rescuing the Dwarven Swordsmith. Link must take the Chest to the Average Middle-Aged Man near the entrance to the Desert of Mystery, who will open the Chest for Link.[9]

Medicines of Magic can be acquired for free by throwing a Bottle into the Mysterious Pond of the Waterfall of Wishing. By answering the Great Fairy's question honestly, she will reward Link by filling the Bottle with Medicine of Magic.[10]

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, Link can swing Bottles to catch items directly, without the use of a Net. Four Bottles can be collected:

  1. Obtained from the Cucco Lady in Kakariko Village by bringing all of her Cuccos back to their pen.[11]
  2. Found underwater in Lake Hylia near the shortcut to Zora's Domain containing Ruto's letter.[12]
  3. Obtained after winning Talon's Chicken Game in Lon Lon Ranch. It is filled with Lon Lon Milk when received.[13]
  4. Obtained after giving 10 Big Poe Souls to the Poe Collector.[14]

Majora's Mask

In Majora's Mask, six Bottles can be collected:

  1. Obtained from Kotake after Link discovers Koume in the Woods of Mystery.[15] On the First Day, Kotake can be found at the potion shop. Once dusk breaks, she can be found in the Woods of Mystery. It is filled with Red Potion when received.
  2. Obtained after winning the Goron Race during the spring.[16] It is filled with Gold Dust when received.
  3. Obtained after beating both Beaver Bros. in the Beaver Race.[17]
  4. Obtained after delivering the Special Delivery to Mama to Madame Aroma in the Milk Bar on the Final Day.[18] It is filled with Chateau Romani when received.
  5. Obtained after helping Romani defend the cows from the Ghosts at Romani Ranch.[19] It is filled with Milk when received.
  6. Obtained after defeating the Big Poe during the Final Day at the Ikana Graveyard. Link must order the Stalchildren to open the grave they are guarding by using the Captain's Hat. Once inside, he must assist Dampé, who must dig up three blue flames which merge into the Big Poe.[20]

The first Bottle must be obtained for Link to proceed further into the Southern Swamp, while the rest of the Bottles are optional. Link will need to make use of Bottles several more times throughout his adventure.

Majora's Mask 3D

In Majora's Mask 3D, one of the Bottles switched place with a Piece of Heart. An extra Bottle was also added, making seven Bottles total.

  1. Dampé's Bottle is switched with the Piece of Heart Link can obtain from Koume by completing the Koume's Target Shooting after beating the Woodfall Temple.
  2. During the Second Day, Link wearing the Troupe Leader's Mask can talk to Gorman while he is sleeping at the Stock Pot Inn. Gorman requests Link to bring Mystery Milk from his brothers at the Gorman Track in the afternoon. While still wearing the mask, Link can obtain the Milk from the Gorman Brothers at any time after 12 PM. However, the Milk spoils after two real time minutes. If Link successfully delivers the Milk to Gorman, he will let him keep the Bottle. Link cannot roll as Goron Link or play the "Song of Soaring" while delivering the Milk, as doing so will spill it. The sidequest cannot be done in a cycle where Link plays the "Ballad of the Wind Fish" for Gorman on the first night.

The Wind Waker

  2. Obtained after catching Mila trying to steal from Zunari's safe at night.[22]

Non-Canon Information
The following section is not part of the Zelda canon and should not be taken as such.

In The Faces of Evil and The Wand of Gamelon, 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, as well by bottles of Water of Life found in Fortress Centrum, Glutko, Lupay, and Serigon Caves. In The Wand of Gamelon, it is refilled by the Fairies of the Fairy Pool. If no Canteen is present, then they will simply replenish Link and Zelda's health.

In Zelda's Adventure, the Empty Bottle is a quest item given to Zelda by Glebb the thirsty woman. Zelda can take the Bottle to the River Source Pond to fill it with water, which turns it into the Water Bottle. The Bottle can then be taken back to Glebb, who will reward Zelda the Vial of Winds in gratitude. As the Bottle is a quest item, Zelda does not keep it and cannot use it to store healing water. Instead, Life Potions are purchased from merchants separately.

Rescued Fairies are automatically kept in separate Bottles once they are rescued, and will disappear from the inventory along with their Bottle once used.
