The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Gold Skulltulas: Difference between revisions

Many years ago, a wealthy family in Kakariko Village was cursed for their greed and were thus 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.

| 10|| '''Adult's Wallet''': Holds up to 200 rupees.

| 20||'''Stone of Agony''': Rumbles when you run over secret holes. In the 3DS version, this is replaced by the ''Shard of Agony'', which chimes and appears in the top-left corner of the top screen when near secret locations.

| 30||'''Giant's Wallet''': Holds up to 500 rupees.

| 40||'''Ten Bombchus''': A rare type of bomb that runs along the ground, and crawls up walls and ceilings.

| 50||'''Heart Piece''': One-fourth of a Heart Container.

If you are playing on the Wii's Virtual Console, the Stone of Agony will be totally useless. Anyone playing this version can safely ignore this feature. The GameCube version will ask you if you want to use the rumble feature (unless you're playing with the Wavebird, which renders this item useless). In the 3DS version, the Stone of Agony is replaced by the Shard of Agony, which chimes and appears in the top-left corner of the top screen when near secret locations.

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:

Many Gold Skulltulas don't appear during the daytime. You should play the Sun's Song on your ocarina to change the time of day before beginning your search.

The following is a complete list of the locations of the 100 Gold Skulltulas scattered about Hyrule.

Enter the main Hyrule Castle area and make your way to the small moat. In the nearby corner is a lone tree. Stand beneath it and play the [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Ocarina_Songs#Song of Storms|<font color="gray">'''Song of Storms'''</font>]] [[File:OoT Items Ocarina of Time.png|24px]] to reveal a grotto. Use {{im/oot|Item|Bombs}} to destroy the wall on your left (slightly behind you) until you find a Skulltula.

After learning the [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Ocarina_Songs#Bolero of Fire|<font color="red">'''Bolero of Fire'''</font>]] [[File:OoT Items Ocarina of Time.png|24px]] as an adult, first return to the past and then warp to Death Mountain Crater as young Link using the Bolero of Fire. Drop a {{im/oot|Item|Bottle of Bugs}} on the nearby patch soil to force out a Skulltula.

Enter this dungeon as an adult, after having learned the [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Ocarina_Songs#Scarecrow's Song|<font color="gray">'''Scarecrow's Song'''</font>]] [[File:OoT Items Ocarina of Time.png|24px]]. Go to the corridor before your first Lizalfos battle as a child. There is an alcove here that will attract Navi when you look at it. Play the Scarecrow's Song to make Pierre appear, and then {{im/oot|Item|Hookshot}} him to find the Skulltula.

Lift up the silver boulder near the entrance to the Great Fairy's Fountain with your [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Upgrades#Strength Enhancers|'''Silver Gauntlets''']] [[File:OoT Items Silver Gauntlets.png|24px]] then use a {{im/oot|Item|Bomb}}. Drop down into this hole, and be wary of four invisible Skulltula that hang from the ceiling. Avoid them, or use your {{im/oot|Item|Lens of Truth}} and shoot them down. Climb up the rough wall behind them. On your right is a Big Skulltula, and on your left is the Gold Skulltula. Use your {{im/oot|Item|Longshot}} to obtain the token.

should find a door with a Time Block above it. Play the [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Ocarina_Songs#Song of Time|<font color="gray">'''Song of Time'''</font>]] [[File:OoT Items Ocarina of Time.png|24px]]to move the

here and play the [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Ocarina_Songs#Scarecrow's Song|<font color="gray">'''Scarecrow's Song'''</font>]] [[File:OoT Items Ocarina of Time.png|24px]]. {{im/oot|Item|Hookshot}} onto Pierre when he appears. Then,

Stand on the platform next to the boat and play the [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Ocarina_Songs#Scarecrow's Song|<font color="gray">'''Scarecrow's Song'''</font>]] [[File:OoT Items Ocarina of Time.png|24px]]. {{im/oot|Item|Longshot}} the scarecrow and destroy the Gold Skulltula that is on the wall with your Longshot. If you do not have the scarecrow song, you can stand on the boat before you activate it and get a straight look at the Skulltula. You can hit it with your {{im/oot|Item|Longshot}} from there.

Acquire a {{im/oot|Item|Bottle of Bugs}}. Warp to the Desert Colossus with the song of [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Ocarina_Songs#Requiem of Spirit|<font color="bc581b">'''Requiem of Spirit'''</font>]] [[File:OoT Items Ocarina of Time.png|24px]] and run to the entrance of the Spirit Temple from the warp pad. Find the soft soil insert to the left of the entrance of the Spirit Temple and pour bugs on it. A Gold Skulltula will pop out of cover. Dispatch it with your sword to collect a token.

You must first warp to the Desert Colossus using the [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Ocarina_Songs#Requiem of Spirit|<font color="bc581b">'''Requiem of Spirit'''</font>]] [[File:OoT Items Ocarina of Time.png|24px]] . Then move quickly to the flat rock near the dried-up Fairy Fountain pool from the warp pad.  On back of the crown of the palm tree near the dried-up pool lurks a Gold Skulltula. Finish it off with {{im/oot|Item|Longshot}} in between fighting off attacking enemies.

As a child, warp to the Desert Colossus with the [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Ocarina_Songs#Requiem of Spirit|<font color="bc581b">'''Requiem of Spirit'''</font>]] [[File:OoT Items Ocarina of Time.png|24px]] and go to the soft soil near the entrance of the Spirit Temple. Plant {{im/oot|Item|Magic Beans}}.<br>

In the room with the Silver Rupees and boulders, play the [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Ocarina_Songs#Song of Time|<font color="gray">'''Song of Time'''</font>]] [[File:OoT Items Ocarina of Time.png|24px]] near the blue block to make a Gold Skulltula appear.

Play the [[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Ocarina_Songs#Scarecrow's Song|<font color="gray">'''Scarecrow's Song'''</font>]] [[File:OoT Items Ocarina of Time.png|24px]] at the top of the staircase (the one you went down as a kid) in the statue room. {{im/oot|Item|Longshot}} onto the scarecrow and kill the Gold Skulltula beside him with the Longshot. (This is the official way to obtain it, but in reality, you can see the Skulltula really clearly from the top of the stairs anyway. You can easily Longshot it right from there.)
