Each wall takes more Gorons to break than the previous one. There are several Mysterious Walls hidden in caves throughout Hyrule. The mysterious walls will always be horizontal so the player can see the wall's face with the game's fixed perspective. They are located in caves assessable using the Mole Mitts. Link can fuse Kinstones with each of them. Each fusion will call one Goron to help break the stone walls. The cave entrance takes one Goron to break. The first wall in the cave takes two Gorons to break. The second takes four Gorons. And the last one takes six Gorons. The prize at the end is the last bottle.

Trivia

• The empty bottle is notable for being an item that is bizarrely usable in certain boss battles involving the Dead Man's Volley combat mechanic, including Ganondorf in Template:OOT, Phantom Ganon in The Wind Waker, and Puppet Zelda in Twilight Princess.
• The way the bottles from Twilight Princess are collected slightly resembles that to collect the ones from Template:OOT. In both games, what's usually the first bottle is won by retrieving lost animals (Cuccos in Template:OOT, a cat in Twilight Princess); the second bottle is purchased (from Talon in Template:OOT, from Coro in Twilight Princess), the third bottle is found underwater (Lake Hylia in Template:OOT, Fishing Pond in Twilight Princess), and the fourth bottle is won after a long Poe hunt (10 Big Poes in Template:OOT, 20 Imp Poes in Twilight Princess).
