the legend of zelda games are weird in that empty bottles are seen as a highly valuable thing
-F
@Felthry I mean, there's only three bottles in the world and the shops don't sell any
@noiob I'm pretty sure every zelda game has at least four bottles and one of them is usually bought from a store though

@Felthry Ocarina has four but you don't buy any of them
@noiob You do buy one in alttp, wind waker, albw, and i think minish cap you buy two?

@Felthry tbh I haven't played much of the 2D Zeldas
@Felthry This is especially weird because I am like, 99% sure that glassworks are a thing in the game, like, there are lanterns, there's abundant sand/silica around, windows, all that jazz.
but a glass bottle with a cap that can hold a fairy or a potion? "that's ancient lost technology that cannot ever be repeated and is lost to time and so this one with the mystical label of "Coca Cola" (clearly some kind of ancient Hyrulian prayer of Great Ritual Significance) is worth a million rupees"
some kid comes and helps you collect all your escaped chickens--give them an empty bottle
some kid saves your sister's life by bringing her a healing potion you made--let them keep the bottle the potion was in, that's an adequate reward
some kid helps you get back the fragments of your soul that you sold to a bunch of ghosts in exchange for immense riches? a bottle is a good reward for that, it's not like you're literally made of money or anything oh wait you are
