Quick Links
InThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Bottles can be used to contain an assortment of liquids and other materials – including Fairies, which cancompletely revive Link from defeat. But apart from the first bottle, which Link acquires as part of the main story, finding all Bottles inWind Wakerrequires you to go out of your way to specific locations throughout the Great Sea.
In total, there are four bottles inWind Waker, a handful of which have hefty prerequisites, like finishing the Forsaken Fortress for the second time orhaving a huge number of Rupees. This guide explains how to get more bottles inThe Wind Waker,details all four Empty Bottle locations, and provides a list of everything you can carry in an Empty Bottle inThe Wind Waker.
What Can Bottles Contain In Wind Waker?
There are seven things that players can store inThe Wind Wakerbottles:
Where To Find All Bottles In The Wind Waker
Wind Waker Bottle Location #1: Dragon Roost Island
To get a bottle inThe Wind Waker,progress through the main story until you get to Dragon Roost Island. Continue to follow the main quest until you redirect the wind to help Medli get up the broken ladder. After you throw Medli up, she will gift you a bottle, which is used to collect water and regrow some Bomb Flowers so Link can catch up.
To do this, you mustlearn the Wind’s Requiemon an island just behind the main shore of Dragon Roost Island. Once you complete the Dragon Roost Cavern dungeon, Link keeps the bottle and can use it for the rest of the game.
Wind Waker Bottle Location #2: Bomb Island
The second Bottle location inThe Wind Wakeris on Bomb Island, which itself can be foundon square F-5. Land on the island andlook for an old man with a telescope. Point your camera in the direction he is looking through the telescope, then sail out until youfind a Submarine filled with enemies.
Jump onto the Submarine and continue inside to face a few waves of enemies. Once you defeat every enemy inside, a ladder will drop down, and you will be able to open a chest to get the second bottle.
Wind Waker Bottle Location #3: Windfall Island
The third bottle locationWind Wakerplayers can find isback on Windfall Island, but there’s a catch. Youmust have progressed through the main story until the point that you return to the Forsaken Fortressfor the second time. Defeat the final boss of the Forsaken Fortress (the Helmaroc King), confront Ganondorf, then return to Windfall Island after some story beats.
Use the Song of Passing to change the time to night, thenlook for a girl who is sneaking around. Talk to her, and she will tell Link to leave.
Follow the girl, but not too closely. If you get caught following her, she will be alerted to your presence. Carefully dip from hiding spot to hiding spot until she reaches Zunari’s shop, where you bought the Sail earlier in the game. When she opens the safe, confront her, select the first dialogue options when prompted, and she will eventually gift you the fourth and final Empty Bottle!
Wind Waker Bottle Location #4: Rock Spire Isle
The final, and arguably hardest, Empty BottleThe Wind Wakerplayers can get is in the special Shop Ship near Rock Spire Isle. Rock Spire Isle, located on square B-3, is home to a unique and lavish Shop Ship that sells incredibly expensive butincredibly useful items inWind Waker. Among “Beedle’s” wares here is a Heart Piece, a Treasure Chart, and an Empty Bottle.
The Empty Bottle costs a huge 500 Rupees, so be sure to save up throughout your playthrough – and pick up at least one Wallet Upgrade so you may store that many Rupees. Look for the Shop Ship around this thin island in the north-west of the Great Sea to purchase the final bottle inZelda: The Wind Waker.
