What got a page

The Kokiri Sword and the Master Sword are different chests and different eras, so they are different pages. The Fairy Bow is the Forest Temple item. Magic arrows are three errands on top of that bow. The Goron Tunic is the heat shirt. Rupees and wallets are the money system, including the remake’s 200 starting cap. The Sinking Lure is not its own page; the fishing pond page owns that rule.

Empty upgrade prices stay empty. A dungeon page tells you the item that dungeon awards. A collectibles page tells you the tokens that upgrade the wallet.

Questions

Where is the first sword?

The Kokiri Sword, in the forest training hole. The Master Sword is later, in the Temple of Time.

How many bottles?

Four in the original, five slots in the Switch 2 remake, per the change list.
