Ocarina of Time Remake Big Poes: bottle reward and hunting route

Trigger Big Poes at purple-marked obstacles, capture five souls for the bottle reward, and start with five landmark areas in Hyrule Field.

Prepare a bottle and bow before triggering a ghost

The Fairy Bow comes from the Forest Temple. Carry at least one empty bottle; additional bottles reduce return trips, but are not mandatory. Fill your arrow supply and summon Epona before approaching a marked obstacle.

Jump the marker, then shoot and bottle the soul

Look for a log or fence with a purple glow or haunted lantern. Jump it on Epona to summon a Big Poe, land two arrow hits, then dismount and capture the spirit. Simply walking around an old spawn point is not the remake's trigger. Keep the bow ready so the ghost does not escape while you switch equipment.

Return to the collector at ruined Castle Town

Sell the captured souls at the collector's entrance building. Five turn-ins award the bottle; selling all ten awards a Gold Rupee. Do not drink the captured soul on the way back. Individual sale-price reports disagree, so this guide does not promise a per-Poe rupee amount.

A bottle-focused route, not a ten-pin map

The five areas below are distinct landmarks corroborated by the linked guides. Their numbers here are checklist positions, not official map IDs. Other captures count toward the same reward, so you do not need these particular five. This page does not claim tested shortest-path routing or complete ten-marker coordinates.

Road opposite Castle Town's drawbridgeSearch the field on the road leading away from the ruined entrance toward the ranch for a purple-marked jump.[1][3]
West side of the Castle Town approachA separate marker lies west of the town entrance. Keep it distinct from the one directly across the drawbridge.[1][3]
Open ground at Lon Lon Ranch's entranceLook near the ranch entrance and adjacent fence for the haunted obstacle; approach facing into open ground.[1][3]
Gerudo Valley entrance roadSearch near the valley approach and road fork. Prepare to shoot promptly before the ghost reaches the narrow terrain.[1][3]
Trees south of Lon Lon RanchCheck the southern thicket for the purple marker, then return the captured soul to the collector with your other catches.[1][3]

Still stuck?

Why does no Big Poe appear?

Check that you are Adult Link riding Epona and actually jump the marked obstacle. A captured encounter may no longer be available. If a ghost merely escaped, return to its marker and try again.
