Polygon has published a guide to all five bottle locations in the Ocarina of Time remake, covering where each one is found and what it takes to get them.

Bottles are easy to overlook and hard to live without. They're the game's universal storage item — the key to carrying fairies, potions, bugs, and the various liquids that several quests quietly demand. Veterans of the 1998 original will remember that at least one bottle is nearly impossible to miss while others reward exploration and side-quest persistence, which is exactly why location guides for them have been a staple of Zelda coverage for decades.

The guide is part of a much larger wave: Polygon simultaneously published walkthroughs for eight of the remake's dungeons, from the Forest Temple through Ganondorf's Castle, as outlets race to build out complete coverage of the Switch 2 release.

For new players, the practical advice embedded in all this is simple — grab the bottles early. Few collectibles in the game pay off as consistently across a full playthrough.
