Bottle Adventure

Information

Bottle Adventure is an interesting glitch that allows you to assign just about every item to the B button as Adult Link. Where Reverse Bottle Adventure writes a bottle item to the "inventory", Bottle Adventure retrieves a "bottle item" from the "inventory".

How to

1. Go to the Fishing Pond and Steal the Fishing Rod
2. Turn the Fishing Rod into a Deku Stick by jumping into Lake Hylia, climbing out, and pausing the game
3. Turn the Deku Stick into a Bottle by using the Bottle Dupe glitch†
4. Drop the Master Sword to go back in time
5. As a kid, select the item you want to be on C-Right, then pull the Master Sword. The item on C-Right will determine what item will be assigned to B.

† Turning the Deku Stick into a Bottle activates the Reverse Bottle Adventure glitch.

How it works

In Zelda 64, the item value for bottles change depending on their contents, meaning that an Empty Bottle and a Red Potion are really two separate items. The ability to time travel in Ocarina of Time complicates things further, as a section of memory is reserved for storing the equipment and C-Items for the Young and Adult versions of Link to save the player from having to re-equip every time they travel through time. However, if a bottle is equipped to a C button in one time period, the item value needs to be updated on returning back in case the contents of the bottle has changed in the other time period.

Now, in order to determine which bottle is equipped, an item slot value is stored for the C-Left, C-Down, and C-Right buttons, but not B. And, because an item slot value does not exist for the B button, a value must be drawn from somewhere else in memory. In the case of going from Adult to Child to Adult Link, Child Link's C-Right button is used instead.

Things work very similar to Reverse Bottle Adventure, except we are reading a value to B, rather than writing the item value on B to memory.

Notes

As an alternative to going back in time, you can instead use the Temple of Time & Light Arrow cutscene to assign an item to B.

The B button is active in any areas the normal sword would be.This means you can use several items in locations you're not intended to use them, like using Bombs inside the Temple of Time for example.

If you don't have Version 1.0, the item you have on B will be reverted back to the Master Sword when you save, unless the item is the Koriki Sword, the Master Sword (though it makes no difference), the Biggoron Sword/Goron's Knife, or the Broken Sword. If the trade sequence is complete, the Biggoron's Sword and Broken Sword will act like the Biggoron's Sword, otherwise they will act like the Goron's Knife and Broken Sword.

If you put an Egg on the B button, it will never hatch.

Tricks and Uses for Bottle Adventure

• Putting Zora Mask on C-Right allows the widest range of possibilities for items on B.
• Bottle Adventure also allows for a few Trade Item Sequence Breaks
• You can also "wield" a Sold Out Sword
• Unlimited Big Poes
• Quickswap Delete Swords
• Light Arrow B - anti medallions strategy to complete the game
• Windy B - free Farore's Wind, also get Bombchus and Slingshot to child
• Also check out Reverse Bottle Adventure - a way to manipulate memory addresses further.

Other Notes

• Item values 20-55, if put on B, allow Bottle Adventure to work. The most commonly used item is a bottle.
• Only the item on Child Link's C-Right is used, not Adult Link's. Places value on Adult Link's B, only if Adult Link's B previously had a value of 20 to 55
• Child Link's B always becomes the Kokiri Sword when you travel back in time.
• Drawing the Master Sword will always add the Master Sword to your inventory.
• Item Values 3 (bow), 6 (slingshot), and 9 (bombchus) will become sticks on B
• Saving with an item on B deletes the Kokiri Sword as a Child, and the Master Sword as an Adult
• Due to the quick discovery of the original Swordless Link method, every version after v1.0 will restore the Master Sword to B after you save and quit, but without having it in your possession as Adult Link. The obvious exception to this are sword items 59, 60, 61, and 85 which do not delete swords. These will stay on B after a reset

Inventory Screen BA

When placing items 0-23 on c-right as a child, the game will look at the corresponding item slot and put whatever value is on that slot onto B. For example, if you have the megaton hammer in your inventory and put the Lens of Truth on c-right, the Hammer will be placed on B. The chart can be seen below.

† Unequippable as child

Item Amount BA

This is a much more useful form of BA that lets you put items on B that are not in your inventory. It can place almost every item on B between 0-50 (the exceptions are Fairy Slingshot, Bombchus, and Fairy Bow). When placing certain bottled items or child trade items on c-right, the game will look at the value of the linked item amount and place an item on B with that value. For example, putting a big poe on c-right with 19 deku seeds will place Nayru's Love on B. Look at the Item Chart for the values of every item.

† Unused Value.
†† This is how many Magic Beans you've ever bought from the Bean seller in Zora's River. For example, if the value is set to 6, he will charge you 70 rupees for a bean. Any values higher than 9 cause him to stop selling beans.
††† It is possible to equip this item due to an Upgrade Oddity.

Equipment BA

It is possible to place an item on B depending what items you have in your equipment screen with the Goron Mask and Zora Mask.
