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

@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 tbh I haven't played much of the 2D Zeldas
