Bottle

"Magic Bottle
Link should pick up four Magic Bottles during his quest. They are extremely important to have. These are the containers in which Magic Potion is stored. The Bottles are very durable and will not crack or shatter under any circumstances."

"Link can’t put anything into a full Magic Bottle."

Bottles, also known as Magic Bottles, are used to store items. They are present in several Zelda games.

Medicine

Bottles were never actually used in the The Legend of Zelda or Link's Awakening. However though, in both you could obtain a medicine (which had the icon of a bottle).

Bottles

Bottles have been a staple item in most Zelda games since A Link to the Past. You could use bottles to hold potions or fairies inside them. You usually obtain one from the main quest, and the rest must be obtained through side quests.

Potions

Potions can be stored inside your bottles for later use, they have multiple uses, all of them restorative.

Fairies

Fairies can be held in bottles as well, and releasing them has the effect of them using their healing magic on Link.

Misc. Items

You can hold odd things in bottles that aren't exactly meant to be... healthy. In Ocarina of Time, you can hold bugs in bottles and release them in certain areas to obtain Rupees or Gold Skulltulas You can also store Poes, which can sold to a certain man. Or you can try to eat them, they usually hurt Link, but sometimes heal him.

Trivia

• In Ocarina of Time, Link can use a Bottle to bounce back Ganondorf's energy balls instead of his sword.
