The '''Gold Skultulas''' sidequest is a long one that requires you to hunt down 100 special enemies called Gold Skultulas.
In the '''Gold Skulltulas''' sidequest, Link must search Hyrule for 100 special monsters called Gold Skulltulas in order to break a curse on a wealthy Kakariko family.


The gold skultulas are scattered throughout the game world and in both time periods, and they're usually hidden away in hard-to-find areas. They are spider-like creatures with a shiny golden body, and they can often be found clinging to walls.
==About the Quest==


== About the Quest ==
Many years ago, a wealth family in Kakariko Village was cursed for their greed and turned into Skulltula monsters. In order to break the curse, Link must destroy all one hundred of the Gold Skulltulas scattered about Hyrule and collect the Gold Skulltula Tokens that they drop as proof of his deed. When a certain number of Gold Skulltulas have been destroyed, a family member will return to human form and reward Link for his trouble.


You initially learn about the quest after visiting one of the houses in Kakariko Village. A family has all been turned into skultulas by an evil curse, and they want you to hunt down and defeat the skultulas to break the curse.
==Quest Rewards==


As you defeat gold skultulas, you can return to the house at certain intervals to collect rewards.
As you defeat Gold Skulltulas, each family member released from the curse will reward Link. These rewards are:

==Hunting Tips==
Hunting gold skultulas is tricky, but here are several tips for finding them.


=== Use your ears ===
Gold Skulltulas are scattered throughout the game world and can be found as both young and adult Link. Most often, Gold Skulltulas can be found at night, either clinging to walls or hiding in soft patches of soil. Here are some tips for hunting them:
Gold skultulas make a distinct "shuffling" sound every few seconds when they move around. The sound usually spreads over a fairly large area, so it won't help you pinpoint the location of the creature, but it will let you know when you should start conducting a thorough search of the nearby area.


=== Check your map ===
===Use your ears===
After you have defeated all the gold skultulas in an area, a gold skultula icon will appear next to the name of your current location on the map screen. If you don't see it, then there are still more gold skultulas to find in the area.

===Check common hiding spots===
A Gold Skulltula resides in every patch of soft soil in Hyrule except for the one next to the bean selling man in Zora's River. To evict the Skulltula from its burrow, release a captured bug nearby.
 
Gold Skulltulas can also be found inside crates and trees. Roll into either one to dislodge a Skulltula.
 
If on a wall or far away, Gold Skulltulas can only be reached with certain items, namely the Boomerang and Hookshot. When hunting, be sure you have both items.
