Five Empty Bottles in the OOT Remake

Home / Collectibles / Bottles

The remake has five bottles. ZeldaCentral and RPGSite independently describe the same five rewards: the Castle Town potion-shop bug task, Talon’s Super Cucco game, the seven Cuccos in Kakariko, Ruto’s letter from Lake Hylia and the adult Big Poe trade. The shopkeeper lends you the bottle for catching the bug; you do not need to own a bottle first.

The adult bottle reward is five Big Poes, equivalent to 500 points in ZeldaCentral’s guide. RPGSite also says five; its final reward for ten Poes is 200 rupees. Guides for earlier releases may give a different bottle threshold. Keep the remake and older editions separate when following a route.
