Welcome, brave adventurer, to the definitive guide for one of Hyrule’s most famous (and slightly creepy) optional quests: collecting all 100 Gold Skulltula Tokens in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! These glittering, golden arachnids are more than just pests; they hold the key to breaking a terrible curse and netting Link some valuable rewards along the way.
What Are Gold Skulltulas and Why Hunt Them?
Gold Skulltulas, also known as Spiders of the Curse, are special Skulltulas scattered throughout Hyrule. Unlike their regular cousins, they don’t attack but instead remain stationary, often hidden away. Defeating one yields a Gold Skulltula Token.
The primary motivation for collecting these tokens lies in Kakariko Village at the House of Skulltula. This once-wealthy family fell victim to a curse born from their own greed, transforming them into grotesque Skulltula creatures. As Link collects tokens, he gradually breaks the curse, freeing members of the family one by one. Each freed member offers Link a reward for his efforts.
The House of Skulltula: Rewards for Your Bravery
Located in Kakariko Village (it’s the first house on the right as you enter from the main village square, distinctively eerie and empty inside), this house is where you reap the benefits of your hunt. Talk to the freed family members as you reach these milestones:
10 Tokens: Adult’s Wallet
Allows Link to carry up to 200 Rupees. Essential for affording some pricier items early on.
20 Tokens: Stone of Agony (N64) / Shard of Agony (3DS)
A crucial tool for secret hunters!
- N64: Causes the Rumble Pak (if inserted) to vibrate when Link is near a hidden grotto or secret hole.
- 3DS: Provides a visual icon and an auditory cue (beeping faster the closer you are) on the screen when near a secret, as the 3DS lacks rumble.
30 Tokens: Giant’s Wallet
The largest wallet upgrade, allowing Link to carry a maximum of 500 Rupees.
40 Tokens: Bombchus
Link receives 10 Bombchus. Finding these also unlocks the ability to find or purchase more Bombchus elsewhere (like the Bowling Alley or specific shops, once available). Bombchus are unique crawling bombs useful for puzzles and hitting distant switches.
50 Tokens: Piece of Heart
A valuable reward contributing to Link’s overall health meter. Many players aim for at least this many tokens.
100 Tokens: Huge Rupee (Repeatable)
Upon collecting the final token and freeing the last family member, Link receives immense gratitude… and a Huge Rupee (worth 200). He can return and speak to this grateful man anytime to receive another Huge Rupee, effectively granting unlimited funds (though by this point, you may not need them as much!).
How Do I Know Which Gold Skulltula Tokens I Haven’t Found Yet?
So, you’re deep into your quest to break the curse on the House of Skulltula, but finding every last one requires knowing where you’ve already been successful. While Ocarina of Time doesn’t give you a numerical count like “3 out of 5” on the map for each area, it does provide clear visual markers to show if you’ve found all the Gold Skulltulas in a specific dungeon or overworld location. Here’s the correct way to check:
1. Checking Dungeons
- Enter the Dungeon: You must be inside the dungeon you want to check.
- Pause the Game: Press the START button to bring up the pause menu (Quest Status Screen).
- Navigate to the Dungeon Map: Select the Map tab. This will display the map of the dungeon you are currently in.
- Look for the Skulltula Icon: Somewhere on this dungeon map screen, you will see a Gold Skulltula icon.
- Check the Icon’s Appearance:
- If the Gold Skulltula icon is bright gold and fully visible, congratulations! You have found all the Gold Skulltulas hidden within that specific dungeon.
- If the Gold Skulltula icon is greyed out, dim, or lacks color, you are still missing one or more Skulltulas inside that dungeon.
2. Checking Overworld Areas
- Pause the Game: Press the START button while you are in the Hyrule overworld (not inside a dungeon or house).
- Navigate to the World Map: Select the Map tab to view the main map of Hyrule.
- Hover Over Locations: Use the control stick to move the cursor over the names of different regions you have visited (e.g., “Kakariko Village,” “Death Mountain Trail,” “Zora’s River”).
- Look for the Skulltula Mark: Observe the information box that displays the location’s name. If you have found all the Gold Skulltulas that are hidden in that specific overworld map section, a small Gold Skulltula icon will appear directly next to the location’s name.
- No Icon Means Missing Skulltulas: If there is no Gold Skulltula icon next to the name, it means you haven’t yet found all the Skulltulas located directly in that overworld area. (Note: This marker does not reflect Skulltulas inside dungeons accessible from that area; check the dungeon maps separately for those).
By using these two map checks – the bright icon on the dungeon map and the small icon next to names on the world map – you can pinpoint exactly which dungeons and overworld zones still hold the hidden Skulltulas you need!
