Ocarina of Time Big Poe Guide

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has four Bottles that Link can acquire. One of which can only be acquired after finding, defeating, and collect all 10 of the Big Poes found in Hyrule Field. In order to complete this quest, you first need to complete the Epona side quest, as well as acquire the Fairy Bow from the Forest Temple.

When you first entered the Castle Market as a child, the first door on the right led to the guardhouse. Once Link becomes an adult, this has turned into the Poe Shop. It is run by the Poe Collector, a gangly, one eyed, hooded figure with a stick. He loves the spirits formed from the hatred in the world known as Poes. You can bring him smaller Poes that you collect from the Kakariko Village Graveyard to earn some rupees, but the main reward requires you to fine the 10 Big Poes. If you catch them all, you'll be rewarded with an empty bottle.

The 10 Big Poes will only appear when you pass over specific locations in Hyrule Field. It's generally just a small ring on the ground that once you enter, the Big Poes will appear in front of where you're facing. By running through these invisible rings on Epona, you can whip out your Fairy Bow and shoot them as they run away from you. Two hits and they'll fall down. Speak with them to put them in a bottle. You'll have to bring them back to the Poe Shop repeatedly, seeing as you only have at most, three bottles. While the Big Poes are in small rings, you can approach from virtually any direction. However, the guide below will give the recommend approaches to make it as easy as possible.
