A talentedLegend of Zeldafan has crafted a real-life version of Link’s iconic Lon Lon Milk bottle. Lon Lon Milk was first introduced in 1998’sseminalThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, where Link could fill his empty glass bottles with this nutritious drink after completing Talon’s Super Cucco-findin' Game. It has since appeared in many otherLegend of Zeldasequels, and drinking it usually restores five of Link’s hearts - making it a very helpful resource to have on hand during especially challenging dungeons and battles.
Lon Lon Milk has even made crossover appearances in variousSuper Smash Bros.entries, with Young Link taking a refreshing drink while taunting in theGameCube-eraSuper Smash Bros. Meleeand a sticker of the beverage boosting launch power for Toon Link, Princess Zelda, and Ganondorf inSuper Smash Bros Brawlfor the Wii. Due to its usefulness and close association with Link, Lon Lon Milk is one of the most well-known items in theLegend of Zeldafranchise, with fans even making replica versions of the bottle for gaming-themed New Year’s parties or just the fun of it.

Reddit user missles1 recently shared their own homemade version of Link’s Lon Lon Milk bottle fromThe Legend of Zeldaon r/Zelda earlier this week. This large, glass jar looks very similar to the one from the games thanks to its cork plug and light-blue label with Hylian text and a cartoon image of the Lon Lon Cow the milk comes from. While the bottle is currently empty, missles1 has asked commentators if they should put wax inside to simulate the life-giving milk it would carry in-universe.
This refreshing fan-made prop comes at the perfect time forLegend of Zeldaplayers, as the long-awaitedTears of the Kingdomfinally launchedon the Nintendo Switch a few days ago. So far, the latest installment in the iconicZeldaseries has been met with high praise for its free-roaming open-world gameplay and imaginative new powers that allow Link to create impressive new vehicles and weapons to aid in his quest to save Hyrule from the wicked Ganondorf once again.
Even as theLegend of Zeldafranchise continues to evolve with each new game, fans still fondly remember classic elements likethe health-restoring Lon Lon Milkthat has been a part of Link’s arsenal since the days of the Nintendo 64. Missles1’s replica of the classic Lon Lon Milk bottle is a spot-on recreation of the legendary drink’s container, and might make for a perfect beverage choice while playing through a session ofTears of the Kingdom.
