Where to find each bottle

Empty Bottle

Bottle 1: Luv’s Potion Shop

Go to the potion shop in the Skyloft Bazaar and talk to Luv. Once Zelda has fallen to the Surface, she hands you an Empty Bottle without charging you. See Skyloft and the Goddess Sword for the early story.

The shopkeeper says he will give Link a spare Empty Bottle he has been keeping in the stall, as a gift.

Bottle 2: Sealed Temple chest

Enter the Sealed Temple in the Sealed Grounds and find the old woman sitting inside. A chest near her holds a bottle already filled with Revitalizing Potion. It restores four hearts and refills your shield gauge, and the bottle stays yours once it is empty. See the Imprisoned chapter for the route.

Bottle 3: Parrow and Orielle

Once Find Kukiel is behind you and you have spoken to Batreaux, speak to Parrow in the Skyloft Plaza. His sister Orielle is missing, and he asks you to find her. Fly your Loftwing to the small grassy island in the Sky where she is stranded and talk to Orielle, who needs medicine for her injured Loftwing. Return to Parrow, who hands over Mushroom Spores in a bottle and lets you keep the bottle once the spores are used. Take the spores to the island and the Loftwing recovers. The quest also gives 10 Gratitude Crystals, five from Orielle and five more from Parrow. See Side Quests.

Bottle 4: Fire Sanctuary

After you get the Mogma Mitts in the Fire Sanctuary, go back to the Magmanos room. Dig into the soil beside the first Magmanos room, hit the blue switch underground, and step on the floor switch past the moved gate to open the next gate. Defeat the Magmanos in that room with a water plant, then walk west to a chest holding the fourth bottle.

Bottle 5: Thunderhead Goddess Chest

First strike Goddess Cube 26 on Volcano Summit, on the south-east platform near the lair of Eldin the Fire Dragon (ride the rising lava platform in the eastern room, to the right of the arrival point). Then fly into the Thunderhead and look for the small island south-west of the Isle of Songs that the cube unlocks. Dig into the soil with the Mogma Mitts, follow the tunnels, climb the vines, and open the chest to get the bottle. See Goddess Cubes and Goddess Chests for every cube.
