Majora’s Mask on Nintendo 64 has six collectible bottles. Use them for potions, fairies, milk, fish, bugs, spring water, Gold Dust and Poes. The following routes explain each bottle and identify the changed rewards in Majora’s Mask 3D.
For our Majora’s Mask 100% walkthrough we collect all six bottles directly during normal gameplay. They become particularly important later on with the Zora eggs in Great Bay and with various Side Quests in Ikana Canyon.
3D Difference: Majora’s Mask 3D has a total of seven bottles. In addition, individual rewards have been changed compared to the Nintendo 64 version. This page is primarily based on the original N64 version.
1. Bottle – Koume in the Woods of Mystery
You will receive the first bottle on the way to Woodfall. Travel to the Southern Swamp and visit the two witch sisters’ magic shop. Near the shop is the entrance to the Forests of Mysteries.
Follow the monkey through the daily changing labyrinth. At the end you will find the injured Koume. Talk to her and then return to the magic shop. On the first day, Kotake is there behind the counter; on later days she can go out in the forest herself.
Tells Kotake about her sister. She gives you a bottle of red elixir. Bring the elixir back to Koume and give it to her. Koume recovers immediately and the now Empty Bottle remains permanently in your inventory.
This bottle is also important for the further course of the swamp, as Koume works again in the swamp information center after her rescue and later controls the boat.
2nd bottle – Romani Ranch
For the second bottle you have to enter the Romani Ranch on the first day. To do this you need the powder keg license. In Clock Town, buy a powder keg for 50 Rupees and use it to blow up the large rock on the Milk Road.
Speak to Romani at the ranch and first complete her riding training. Shoot all ten balloons within two minutes. You then learn Epona’s song and Romani asks you to help defend the cows at night.
Return in time for the first night. At approximately 2:30 a.m. the mysterious attackers appear around the ranch. They move toward the barn from several directions. Shoot them with the Hero’s Bow before one reaches the building. The attackers will appear again after a short time, which is why you have to constantly keep an eye on the surroundings.
Play the Inverted Song of Time to slow the night, then keep the attackers away from the barn until approximately 5:15 a.m. Romani rewards a successful defense with a bottle of Milk.
Romani thanks you for your help and gives you another bottle of milk. This means you have the second of the six N64 bottles.
3rd Bottle – Goron Racetrack
After defeating Goht in Snowhead Temple, spring returns to the mountains. Then go to the Goron village and speak to the powder keg dealer as Goron Link.
If you haven’t completed his test yet, first take a powder keg to the large rock in front of the entrance to the Goron Racetrack and blow it up. You can then take part in the race.
In the Goron Race you compete against several other Gorons. Roll at full speed as early as possible and build up the spikes. Try to keep the inside line on the straights and avoid collisions with other competitors. The magic jars along the way will replenish your supply.
If you are the first to reach the goal, you will receive a bottle with gold dust. We also need the gold dust for the Gilded Sword. Therefore, do not use it elsewhere before you have completely forged the sword.
4. Bottle – Swimming race with the beavers
The fourth bottle is waiting at Great Bay. Go to Zora Cape and look for the big waterfall. There are several trees or palm trees on the rock wall that you can use as targets with the Hookshot.
Pull yourself up from ledge to ledge and enter the cave at the end. Behind it lies the area of the Beaver Brothers.
Transform into Zora Link and talk to the younger beaver. You have to follow him through an underwater course and swim through all the rings in the correct order. Have to in the first race 20 rings be traversed within the time limit.
Afterwards his brother challenges you to a second race. This time you have to pass 25 rings within the given time limit. Use Zora Link’s fast swimming and try to steer in the right direction before every turn.
Win both races and the brothers will give you another Empty Bottle.
You can challenge the beavers again later. A more difficult second race series also brings you a Piece of Heart.
5. Bottle – Madame Aroma and Kafei’s Quest
The fifth bottle is one of the two possible rewards from Kafei’s Quest. Play the task until the third day and visit Kafei’s hiding place at the Laundry Pool.
The curiosity dealer will give you the express letter to mom. This letter is intended for Madame Aroma. For the bottle, you are not allowed to give it to the postman, you have to deliver it yourself.
Visit the Milchbar Latte in East Clock Town on the evening of the third day. To enter you need Romani’s mask. Madame Aroma sits there and continues to wait for news of her missing son.
Speak to her and hand her the express letter. She thanks you and gives you a bottle of Chateau Romani.
Important for 100%: If you give the express letter to the postman instead, you will receive the postman’s hat and thus later a Piece of Heart. Both rewards cannot be collected in the same time cycle. For our complete route you have to play this part of Kafei’s quest at least twice.
6th Bottle – third night at Ikana Cemetery
The sixth and final bottle of the Nintendo 64 version can be found in the Ikana Cemetery. For this you need the Captain’s Hat.
Visit the cemetery on the third night and talk to the Stalchildren guarding the corresponding grave. Wear the Captain’s Hat and order them to open the tomb. Then jump down.
In the underground area you will meet Dampé. He can hardly see anything in the darkness and has to be led to several places in the room by Link. Fixate on him and move so that he follows you. As soon as he stands over one of the suspicious areas of earth, he starts digging.
There are hiding places in three of the grave sites blue flames. Their positions are not tied to a specific order. Some spots are on raised platforms. To get Dampé there, you have to guide him onto the corresponding brown floor tiles, which function as elevators.
Once all three blue flames have been found, a Nighthawk will appear. Keep your distance and attack him as soon as he becomes visible. After several hits, the ghost is defeated and a Treasure Chest appears.
Open it and take the sixth Empty Bottle. This completes the bottle collection for the Nintendo 64 version.
Majora’s Mask 3D: Dampé’s Third Night reward is a Piece of Heart. The bottle is instead awarded by Koume’s Target Shooting after Woodfall Temple. A seventh bottle comes from delivering Mystery Milk to Gorman on the Second Day.
All six bottles at a glance
1. Forests of Mysteries: Save Koume – Bottle of Red Elixir.
2. Romani Ranch: Defend cows on the first night – bottle with milk.
3. Goron Racetrack: Win Race – Bottle of Gold Dust.
4th Beaver Race: Win both first swimming races – Empty Bottle.
5. Kafei’s Quest: Express letter personally delivered to Madame Aroma – bottle of Chateau Romani.
6. Ikana Cemetery: Help Dampé on the third night and defeat the Nighthawk – Empty Bottle.
Total: 6 out of 6 bottles.
If you follow our 100% walkthrough, you will have enough bottles for all future collecting tasks. Especially with the seven Zora eggs in the Great Bay, six bottles significantly reduce the number of trips necessary.
