Table of Contents
Bottle 1: Kakariko Village Merchant
In Kakariko Village, a merchant in the center of town offers an empty bottle for 100 Rupees. Purchasing this bottle provides a convenient way to store restorative items early in your journey.
Bottle 2: Under the Stone Bridge
After obtaining the Zora Flippers, swim north from Lake Hylia to the stone bridge east of Link’s house. Underneath the bridge, you’ll meet the Bird Lover, who will give you an empty bottle during your conversation.
Bottle 3: Vacant House in Lorule
In Lorule, visit the Vacant House, corresponding to Link’s House in Hyrule. Place a bomb along the northern wall at the back of the house to reveal an entrance. Inside, you’ll find a chest containing an empty bottle.
Bottle 4: Message in a Bottle Quest
East of the House of Gales in Lake Hylia, you’ll discover a bottle floating in the water containing a message from a stranded individual on Death Mountain requesting Premium Milk. Visit the Milk Bar in Kakariko Village, where the owner will fill your bottle with Premium Milk for free. With the milk, journey to the area just outside the Tower of Hera and head eastward.
Use the Hookshot to cross the broken bridge and enter the cave leading to Rosso’s Ore Mine. Navigate through the lava-filled cavern by carefully using moving platforms and merging along walls. Upon exiting the cave, you’ll find the stranded man. Give him the Premium Milk, and he will let you keep the empty bottle as a token of gratitude.
Bottle 5: Great Rupee Fairy’s Reward
Northwest of the Bomb Flower Store in Lorule, locate a large cracked boulder. Rent a Big Bomb Flower for 200 Rupees to destroy the boulder, revealing a cave leading to the Great Rupee Fairy Fountain. By donating a total of 3,000 Rupees, the Great Rupee Fairy will reward your generosity with an empty bottle.
Collecting all five bottles will greatly aid you in your quest, providing ample storage for essential items to assist in your journey through Hyrule and Lorule.
