OOT skulltula.jpg

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 LoZ OoT enemy Gold Skulltula.png scattered about Hyrule and collect the OoT Items Gold Skulltula Token.png 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.

Quest Rewards[edit]

As you defeat Gold Skulltulas LoZ OoT enemy Gold Skulltula.png, each family member released from the curse will reward Link. These rewards are:

# Defeated Reward
10 OoT Items Adult's Wallet.png Adult's Wallet: Holds up to 200 rupees.
20 OoT Items Stone of Agony.png Stone of Agony: Rumbles when you run over secret holes. In the 3DS version, this is replaced by the OoT Items Shard of Agony.png Shard of Agony, which chimes and appears in the top-left corner of the top screen when near secret locations.
30 OoT Items Giant's Wallet.png Giant's Wallet: Holds up to 500 rupees.
40 OoT Items Bombchu.png Bombchu (10): A rare type of bomb that runs along the ground, and crawls up walls and ceilings.
50 OoT Items Piece of Heart.png Piece of Heart: One-fourth of a Heart Container.
100 Huge Rupee: A huge, golden rupee worth 200 rupees. Each time you visit the man, he will give you another one, so effectively it is a limitless supply of rupees.

If you are playing on the Wii's Virtual Console, the Stone of Agony OoT Items Stone of Agony.png 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 OoT Items Shard of Agony.png, which chimes and appears in the top-left corner of the top screen when near secret locations.

Hunting Tips[edit]

Gold Skulltula LoZ OoT enemy Gold Skulltula.png 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:

Hunt at night[edit]

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

Use your ears[edit]

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.

Check your map[edit]

After you have defeated all the 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.

  • Note: The world map DOES NOT cover Gold Skulltulas in Temples, Dungeons, the Kakariko Well or the 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.

Check common hiding spots[edit]

Nintendo 64
After releasing the captured bugs, quickly press the Down c button again. This will capture one of the three bugs you just released so you can re-use them later.

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, empty a Bottle of Bugs OoT Items Bottle of Bugs.png nearby.

To capture bugs, look for rocks on the ground as they have the highest rate of causing bugs to appear. Pick up these rocks to release the bugs underneath and then quickly capture one with a bottle. You can also find bugs by cutting grass. Bugs are always found under the same rocks and grass and are not random. You can also buy them from potion shop for 50 rupees.

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 OoT Items Boomerang.png and Hookshot OoT Items Hookshot.png. When hunting, be sure you have both items.

Master Quest[edit]

For more details on Gold Skulltula location changes in Master Quest, see Master Quest Gold Skulltula locations.

The locations of 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.

Back-flipping onto the statue is not possible. Instead, push one of the statues into the alcove, and close to, but not against, one of the side walls. Walk to the other side, a short distance away from the statue. At this point, place one of your Bombs OoT Items Bomb.png and take a few steps towards the statue, using L-targeting to back away in a straight line.

Alternatively, you can also push/pull one of the statues within this room over to the alcove. You can use the statue to help adult link jump up and grab hold of the ledge and climb up.

Note: It is possible to obtain this token as a child by using the above statue strategy, although this method is somewhat difficult to pull off. You must push one of the statues to the alcove, but then push it all the way over to wall opposite the alcove. You can then backflip onto the statue and use some well-placed Fairy Slingshot OoT Items Fairy Slingshot.png shots to just barely clear the ledge and hit the Skulltula. After the token appears, you can grab the token with an aimed Boomerang OoT Items Boomerang.png throw, as it will be too far away to Z-target.
