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

As you defeat {{im/oot|Enemy|Gold Skulltulas}}, each family member released from the curse will reward Link. These rewards are:

{{im/oot|Enemy|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 {{im/oot|Enemy|Gold Skulltulas}} don't appear during the daytime. You should play the {{im/oot|Song|Sun's Song}} on your ocarina to change the time of day before beginning your search.

{{im/oot|Enemy|Gold Skulltulas}} make a distinct "shuffling" sound every few seconds when they move around. The sound can alert you to the presence of a nearby Skulltula, although it is difficult to use to pinpoint the creature's exact location.

After you have defeated all the {{im/oot|Enemy|Gold Skulltulas}} in an area, a Gold Skulltula 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 Skulltulas to find in the area.  

*<u>Note</u>: The world map DOES NOT cover {{im/oot|Enemy|Gold Skulltulas}} in Temples, Dungeons, the [[../Bottom of the Well|Kakariko Well]] or the [[../Ice Cavern|Ice Cavern]]. To check if you have collected all tokens in those areas, you must enter that specific area and check the map of that place.

A {{im/oot|Enemy|Gold Skulltula}} resides in every patch of soft soil in Hyrule except for the one next to the bean selling man in [[../Jabu-Jabu's Belly#Making Your Way Upstream|Zora's River]]. To evict the Skulltula from its burrow, empty a {{im/oot|Item|Bottle of Bugs}} nearby.  

{{im/oot|Enemy|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, {{im/oot|Enemy|Gold Skulltulas}} can only be reached with certain items, namely the {{im/oot|Item|Boomerang}} and {{im/oot|Item|Hookshot}}. When hunting, be sure you have both items.

The locations of {{im/oot|Enemy|Gold Skulltulas}} in the dungeons were changed in the Master Quest version of Ocarina of Time. There is a section for the differently located Skulltulas after the full list for the regular Ocarina of Time game. If you follow the whole guide, there are also links down to the Master Quest locations in the dungeon's section.

Stand on the platform next to the boat and play the {{im/oot|Songs|Scarecrow's Song}}. {{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.

'''60.''' ''Adult''<br>

Located above the first locked door.

 

'''61.''' ''Adult''<br>

On the bottom floor around the corner in the room with the giant stone blocks.

 

'''62.''' ''Adult''<br>

In the Western Courtyard above the well.

 

'''63.''' ''Adult''<br>

In the Eastern Courtyard on the hookshot spot above the entrance.

 

'''64.''' ''Adult''<br>

Inside the well on the bars next to the entrance leading to the Western Courtyard.

'''65.''' On the first floor, in the room with the bridge leading over the lava, open the Goron's cell door and then find the Skulltula behind him.

 

'''66.''' In the big room with all the Lizalfos, there is a false wall behind which you can hit a switch to reveal several Hookshot targets. Use those to get up onto the platform with a huge crack on top and play the Song of Time. Make your way onto the blue block that appears and use the Hookshot to get to the elevator the leads to the floor above. Continue from here until you reach a room with a rusted switch that triggers more Hookshot targets.  Hit that and then the non-rusted switch to dissipate the fire and Hookshot up to it to move the block and reveal a Skulltula.

 

'''67.''' In the area made up of a maze of fire walls (from which you hammer the pillar down to attain access to Volvagia's lair), jump across to the square platform that held the large block and again from here to the opposite ledge. Standing near that door, play the Song of Time to make a blue block appear. Climb onto the block and leap well from it to clear the nearby fire walls. Enter the NW door along the wall here and fight the Lizalfos. A Skulltula will be waiting on the back wall.

 

'''68.''' In the fire maze room, follow the maze.  You should pass through a couple of doors to the other side.  Keep navigating the maze until you reach a switch that temporarily dissipates the flames blocking the eastern door, then run over and head inside. Proceed through the rooms that follow.  Eventually you should find yourself in a tiny compartment directly over the fire maze room from which you came. Claim the Skulltula there.

 

'''69.''' In the fire maze room, enter the door (by which you play the Song of Time in 67) to the central room. Use the Hookshot to cross the fire to the other side. Hit the rusty switch with the Megaton Hammer, then climb the the target beside the switch to jump over the fire wall to get down to the lower corridor. Here you can bomb a false wall to reveal the final Skulltula.

'''70.''' ''Adult, Song of Time''<br>

In the room with the compass, blue flame, and heart piece, there is a red/orange ice block on one of the pillars with a skulltula in it. Get some blue flame with an empty bottle and go by that pillar. Play the Song of Time twice to make 2 blocks appear. Climb up there and use the blue flame.

 

'''71.''' ''Adult, Scarecrow's Song''<br>

In the top left square room on the map there is a ledge to the right right when you enter. Walk up to it and Navi should turn green and fly up there. Play the Scarecrow's Song and the scarecrow will come up. Hookshot up there and at the very back on the bottom left with be the skulltula.

 

'''72.''' ''Adult''<br>

In the same room as the last skulltula there will be a ledge with a bunch of red/orange ice blocks on it. Right at the wall underneath the ledge the skulltula will be on the ground.

'''73.''' '''Fire Arrows required'''. After you get the fire arrows, go back into the Water Temple and enter the south room/corridor (located on the bottom corridor below the temple entrance in the 3DS version). At the end of the corridor you will find three torches on a wall. Light the torches and the grated/gated up area will open. Use the scarecrow song to longshot to the upper part of the room and the Gold Skulltula is on the ceiling of where it was closed off. Beware of the two Stalfos who will be blocking your way.

 

'''74.''' In the room with the pool and the whirlpools, play the scarecrow's song and Pierre will appear. Longshot onto him. You will notice a door blocked off by a chain. Go towards the waterfall and put on the Iron Boots and go in the hole. You'll eventually arrive in a small room with crates and a Stulfo. Fight it and then break the crates. One of them has a small key. Use it on the door you saw earlier and you will arrive in a room with a switch and unlit torches. Hit the switch, get on the middle water pillar (for lack of a better term) and use Din's Fire. The torches will light and you can advance to the next room. But it's still not over! Kill all the Dodongos in the room (fire-breathing lizards in the ''Water'' Temple... that makes sense!) and Longshot up to the door that just opened. You will be back in the pool room. Break the crate with the Gold Skulltula but leave at least one crate alone. You will need it to Longshot your way out of the little trapped space, and voilà!

 

'''75.''' After making your way through the big square room on the third floor you will drop down through an open grate to the second floor.  In the next section, the river current is really strong and there are several whirlpools so you will have to use the long shot to move from one pillar to the next.  There is a Gold Skulltula on the wall, you can`t miss it!

 

'''76.''' On the second floor, step on the yellow button switch to open up the gate leading to the south corridor.  Walk past the wood crates and straight towards another gate.  Use Din`s Fire to light the torch that is on the inside. The Gold Skulltula is hiding behind the two wooden crates.

 

'''77.'''In the room that opens with the blue switch follow the room until you are at the top before the last water level switch. The Skulltula is in a box.

'''78.''' In the center area where you picked up the dungeon map, enter the northeastern room. Kill the enemies and pull back the grave to reveal the Gold Skulltula.

 

'''79. ''' At the very bottom of the dungeon, take the northernmost path. It contains several invisible monsters which you can run around. At the very end of that passage is the Gold Skulltula.

 

'''80. ''' Go to the westernmost room (you'll need a spare Small Key). The Gold Skulltula is hidden behind the right bird statue (you can use the Lens of Truth to spot it right away).

'''81.''' In the room with the falling spikes, inside the southern cell.

 

'''82.''' In the room full of Redeads (with a treasure chest), crawling on the wall.

'''96.''' ''Adult''<br>In the room with the blocks with sun faces. Return here as an adult and push the southeast block into the light. Use the new platform to reach the Gold Skulltula.

 

'''97.''' ''Adult''<br>In the sandpit room, crawling on the ceiling.

 

'''98.''' ''Adult''<br>In the room with lots of Skulltulas, on the east wall.

 

'''99.''' ''Adult''<br>In the room with a lone Iron Knuckle (after the moving wall room; you'll need a Small Key), behind the north statue.

 

'''100.''' ''Adult''<br>In the room with a lone Iron Knuckle (after the moving wall room; you'll need a Small Key), behind the west statue.
