Golden Skulltula Locations
Kokiri Forest
(YL): Next to the Kokiri Shop, use a bottled bug on the soft soil spot to make a Golden Skulltula pop out!
(YL): At night, get the Skulltula on the back of the Know-It-All-Brothers House, which is next to the little Training Area with the hole leading to the Kokiri Sword.
(AL): Use the Hookshot to get the Skulltula higher up on the House of Twins.
Hyrule Field
(BL): Go left from Kakariko Village and bomb the tree. Drop down the hole and use the Hookshot or Boomerang to nab it.
(AL): Near the entrance to Gerudo Valley, use the Megaton Hammer on the big boulder surrounded by little rocks, then bomb the centre spot. Enter the hole and use Din's Fire or Fire Arrows to burn the spider webs. Find the Skulltula on a small spider web in the cove with a cow.
Market
(YL): Go in the little house when you first enter the market at night. Inside is a bunch of pots and some boxes. Bang into one near the guard in the back and receive the Skulltula.
Hyrule Castle
(YL): Bang into the tree when you first enter the Castle outside from the Market to receive it.
(YL): Play the Song of Storms to another tree just before the area where you woke up Talon and fall down the hole. Bomb the walls and use your boomerang to nab it. Voila!
Ganon's Castle
(AL): Past Ganon's Castle to the right is the tall structure where the guard used to block the entrance to the Castle (and you'd always get behind the bars, he he!) On the back of the left side of the structure is the Skulltula.
Lon Lon Ranch
(YL): At night, on the left side of the house where Talon has his Super Cucco Game up on the windows. You need the Boomerang to catch it.
(YL): Bang into the tree on the left side of the ranch to receive it.
(YL): On the back side of the fenced-in area on the wood part (again, at night.)
(YL): At the very back of the ranch is a tall stone tower (where you can get a Heart Piece inside). Look around and listen for that familiar scratching sound. Use the Boomerang to reach the token.
Kakariko Village
(YL): At night, look at the back of the brick structure in that little area across from the House of Skulltula near the Cucco Lady.
(YL): At night, high up on that tall tower near the guy on the roof.
(YL): At night, on the right wall of the graveyard. Use the Boomerang to reach it.
(YL): On the left side of the House of Skulltula at night (the side facing Impa's House.)
(YL): Near the entrance to the village is a tree. Bang into it!
(YL): At night, on the side of a house facing the gate leading to Death Mountain (where the guard you gave the Keaton Mask to.)
(YL): Place some bugs from a bottle on the soft soil spot in the graveyard for one to pop out!
(AL): Finally, an adult one! At night, on the wall off the roof of Impa’s House. Hookshot to the roof from the other reachable roofs.
Lost Woods
(YL): Go left and left again. Use a bottled bug on the soft soil spot.
(YL): Another soft soil spot that needs bugs. Go right, left, right, left, left.
(AL): Where you planted a bean where the two Business Scrubs and the secret mask judging area are. Take the plant up at night and grab the Skulltula on the high ledge.
(AL): On top of the Sacred Forest Meadow Maze on the left wall (coming from Saria's spot.)
Death Mountain Trail
(YL): Use a bottled bug on the soft soil spot in front of Dodongo's Cavern.
(YL): Coming from Kakariko Village on the right wall is a funny looking spot (you should also hear the usual sound of the spider.) Bomb that part of the wall and collect the token by climbing the wall.
(AL): Where you threw a bomb flower to open Dodongo's Cavern is a rock against a wall. Use the Megaton Hammer to break it and collect the Skulltula.
(AL): While climbing Death Mountain (where, in the past, all those rocks fell on you), you should hear the scratching sound. If you do or don't, well, just use the Megaton Hammer on all those rocks. The one against the right wall is blocking a Skulltula.
Death Mountain Crater
(YL): Upon entering the Crater via the top of Death Mountain, bang into the box and receive a you-know-what!
(YL): Use a bottled bug on the soft soil spot next to the warping point (it's easier to do when you've already been in the future: Learn the Bolero of Fire and at least one other warping song. Play the Bolero of Fire to go to the warping point in the Crater. Put the bugs on the soil, collect the Skulltula and perhaps plant the bean while you're there. Warp out of there, then return as an adult to use the plant to get two Heart Pieces.)
Goron City
(YL): In the room with a lot of boulders inside. At the end is a box. Bang into it to receive the Skulltula.
(AL): At the top of the room is a little platform where the Goron's Ruby originally sat (though we never saw it there, Navi says it was.) On the side of the platform is a Skulltula. Use the Hookshot/Longshot as an adult to nab it (get it from another level of the area, not actually on the platform, it's tough when you're standing right on it!)
Zora's River
(YL): Down by the waterfall, you can go into the wall and not sink right down. Walk along the shallow water and find a ladder. At night, a Skulltula awaits.
(YL): Bang into the tree right at the entrance of Zora's River.
(AL): Take the plant up and jump to the platform with stones surrounding a hole. Jump to another platform with a hole. At night, a Skulltula is on the wall.
(AL): On the wooden bridge at night, a Skulltula is high up on the left wall. Use the hookshot to get it.
Zora's Domain
(AL): Go where you played the Diving Game as a kid. Look left and nab a Skulltula at night using the Hookshot or Longshot.
Zora's Fountain
(YL): Use the Boomerang to nab one on the right wall (stand on the log in the water.)
(YL): Bang into the tree at the very back of the area, where the Great Fairy Fountain is as an adult (quite a ways behind Lord Jabu-Jabu.)
(AL): At night, where the Great Fairy Fountain with Farore's Wind is and the tree where you got a Skulltula in the past (see the above one!) Use the Silver Gauntlets to pick up those boulders. One of them has a hole underneath. Drop down and use the Lens of Truth to see the Giant Skulltulas. Get them out of the way and climb the ladder. One more Giant Skulltula and behind him on the wall is a Golden One!
Lake Hylia
(YL): At night, on the island where you later get the Fire Arrows. It's on one of those short pillars.
(YL): Use a bottled bug on the soft soil spot next to the laboratory.
(YL): On the back of the lab at night is a Skulltula. Use the Boomerang and stand on the bridge to see it.
(AL): Use the Iron Boots to sink to the bottom of the little pond inside the lab. Bang into the box down there to receive the special item!
(AL): Next to the warping point where you land after playing the Serenade of Water. Use the Hookshot/Longshot on the tree nearby. It's up there somewhere!
Gerudo Valley
(YL): On your right after entering the valley where you walk on a narrow walkway, above a small waterfall.
(YL): Use a bottled bug on the soft soil spot on the ledge way down by the big waterfall (it's a big drop so use the Cucco!)
(AL): At night, on the wall behind the Carpenters' Tent.
(AL): On the left side of the valley near the tent at night. It's high up on a pillar (use the hookshot or longshot.)
Gerudo Fortress
(AL): During the walkthrough where you save the carpenters, use the Scarecrow’s Song to reach Pierre and open the chest.
(AL): In the Horse Archery game area, at night on the left high target.
Haunted Wasteland
(AL): Where you see the Poe Guide, drop down the hole at the bottom of the hut. Get the spider down there.
Desert Colossus
(YL): Use a bottled bug on the soft soil spot next to the Spirit Temple entrance.
(AL): Use the bean plant to ride to a big rock platform on the sand at night. You should see it while you're riding.
(AL): On a palm tree near the huge "fairy fountain" (you play the Song of Storms to fill this void with water and a lot of small red fairies come out.) Use the hookshot to nab it.
Inside the Great Deku Tree
(YL): Where you get the Compass (see walkthrough for Kokiri Emerald), there is a cove with a Giant Skulltula blocking it. Get rid of him, then go up there and grab the Golden Skulltula.
(YL): In the watery basement on the ivy covered walls that you can climb.
(YL): Also in the watery basement, on the bars covering a tunnel. You can just wait until you get the Boomerang and then come back, or try jumping from the nearby platforms or even try attacking it with the sword lunge (Z + A) or lunge with the Deku Stick!
(YL): Return after getting Bombs and the Boomerang. In the room where you crawled through a tunnel to get to the higher platform of the watery basement. Burning one of the spider webs reveals a Deku Baba and a weak wall. Bomb the wall and inside is a Giant Skulltula and a Golden Skulltula.
Dodongo's Cavern
(YL): In the room with the Baby Dodongos that blow up after whacking them with the sword. Lure one of them to a weak wall on the right side and make them blow up the wall. Enter the door and it's behind the torch on the wall.
(YL): In the room with all those bomb flowers that all blow up to reveal a stairway. On the top floor is a small web with a Skullwultula and a Golden Skulltula!
(YL): After going through the big dragon head in the main room, go through the tunnel, climb the blocks and blow up the weak wall on your right side. Inside the door is another Armos statue with the Skulltula behind it.
(YL): Return when you have the Boomerang. I want to thank Marshmallow for his great explanation of how to get it (see my Links page for Game FAQs. He is listed on that site.) First, leave Dodongo's Cavern and come back in to reset things. Come back inside (duh!) and go right in the main room to the high elevator pillar. Go through the door at the top. Drop down to the maze with those spiky things. Climb up the ladder, but not the one with the blue block under it! Go across the bridge. Move the Armos blocking the ladder. Step on the switch and enter the newly unlocked door. Now you're in the room with the stairway formed by all those bomb flower, BUT...you're on the high part of the room before you bombed the flowers to form the stairway! It honestly didn't look so different when I followed these instructions and saw it, but when you walk around, you see clearly that it is. Go left down the path, climb the vines against the pillar and grab that hard Skulltula. Whew!
(AL): In the room where you got the Skulltula with help from the Baby Dodongos in the past (see the first Skulltula for Dodongo's Cavern), Navi will fly up when you walk towards the left wall. She turns green, so play the Scarecrow's Song (if you don't have that, see the Ocarina Songs section.) Hookshot or longshot to Pierre and grab the Skulltula. All done in Dodongo's Cavern!
Lord Jabu-Jabu's Belly
(YL): In the room where you hit the switch to raise the water slightly (you threw Ruto over to the platform) and ignored the bubbles & stingers. Anyway, on the right wall of ivy is a Skulltula. Use the Boomerang to get it.
(YL): After falling down the hole in the room where you first met Ruto (where the green tentacle was), there's a Skulltula on the wall.
(YL): In the same area as above is another Skulltula. Very, very close together!
(YL): Just before the Boss Room is a Skulltula on the vines just before you used the Boomerang around that glass wall to hit the switch.
Forest Temple
(AL): In the main room with the torches. Look on the wall near one of the doors.
(AL): Return when you have the Longshot. In the second outdoor area, use the Longshot to nab one on a grassy wall where Navi flies up and turns green (there's a small chest just below that.)
(AL): In the first room where you climb up to get a key. It's on the right wall on vines.
(AL): Return when you have the Longshot. In the first outdoor area, when you clear the wall of Skullwultulas and watch that last, high one that you can't reach, you come to a cove. Turn around and look on the right wall. Use the Longshot to reach it.
(AL): In the room before the Boss, you turn the walls to rotate the room. One of the coves that is revealed has a Golden Skulltula inside.
Fire Temple
(AL): On the left side of the big lava room where you freed a Goron (where the blue block is; you play the Song of Time to move it.) Inside the room with the fake tiles and Like Like on the back wall.
(AL): Next to a door where you freed a Goron. Listen carefully for the usual sound and it should be on the left side of it, exiting the door. Bomb the wall on that side and it's there for you!
(AL): In the room before you get the Boss Key, there's another Like Like with fake tiles. Another Skulltula lies on the back wall.
(AL): Return when you have the Scarecrow’s Song. On the top level of the maze room, play the Scarecrow Song to the spot where Navi flies up and turns green. Longshot up to Pierre and hookshot to the target on the other side. Ride the elevator up and take the door, then climb the grating. Bingo!
(AL): After getting the Skulltula before this one, continue to the next room. You're on a high part of the room where you got the Megaton Hammer. Get the Skulltula there.
Ice Cavern
(AL): In the room with the big rotating blade in the centre, look on the wall near a cave which had red ice over it. Again, listen for the noise. It helps.
(AL): In the room where you got the compass and a Heart Piece, plus it has a blue flame. Look behind the little pillar next to the Heart Piece.
(AL): In the room where you pushed that block around to collect the silver rupees. Look on the wall.
Water Temple
(AL): Inside that tall pillar in the main room. Use the Longshot to hook up to the high platform. Light the torch to enter the door. Hookshot to the highest platform. The water must be drained to the bottom in order to get there (go to the room where you met Ruto to drain it out.)
(AL): In the room where you hookshot up a small waterfall using those platforms with the targets on them. Look on the right wall. You need the Longshot to reach it.
(AL): In the watery basement with the vortexes. Equip the Iron Boots to walk in the shallow water and find it near the second vortex.
(AL): Facing the room where you met Ruto, go right to a passageway. Inside it looks like a dead end, but the floor at the end looks funny. Bomb it to reveal an opening! Use the Iron Boots to sink down. Surface to a switch. Step on it to raise the water slightly. Get rid of the Blue Tektites, then hookshot/longshot to the target on the dragon head. Use the Sword Spin (hold the B Button) to activate the diamond switch on the other side of the gate. The gate opens (no time limit) and the Skulltula is inside.
(AL): Before collecting the Boss Key, you avoided the boulders falling down a small waterfall and dropped down the hole behind it using the Iron Boots. On the wall above the hole is a Skulltula. Use the hookshot or longshot to grab it.
Shadow Temple
(AL): In the room with the dropping blades, you followed the path to a Stalfos. When he's out of the way, go left this time, using the Lens of Truth and enter the door there. Use the Lens of Truth again to see the rotating blade (like in the Ice Cavern!) Beat the three Keese and the Like Like to open a cove. Enter to receive the Skulltula and a chest with a blue rupee.
(AL): In the room where you pushed a block to stop the dropping spikes. Make the block stop both spikes and go around to the left, where there's bars surrounding it. That wasn't too hard now, was it?
(AL): Before playing Zelda's Lullaby to the Triforce moving a ship, play the Scarecrow's Song to a green Navi and longshot to Pierre. Grab the Skulltula there. If you don't have the song, either go get it or get really close to the spot at the front of the ship and use the Longshot.
(AL): A room in the big room where you use the Lens of Truth to see walls and Floor Masters. Enter one of the doors to see some rotating skulls. Get the Skulltula on the wall behind them.
(AL): After bombing the skull to get a key, it is revealed behind it.
Spirit Temple
(YL)- In the room where you had to push the Sun Icon on a block into the light, go through the exit that leads to the Iron Knuckle. Go forward a bit, then turn around and look above the door. Use the Boomerang, obviously.
(YL)- After crawling through the hole where Nabooru was standing, go through the right door. This Skulltula is across the chasm and on the grating. Use the Boomerang.
(YL)- After crawling through the second tunnel, and going through the locked door, climb the wall (beat the spiders with your slingshot or boomerang), then turn around and you'll be eye-to-eye with a Golden Skulltula.
(AL)- In the room with the rolling boulders, play the Song of Time to move the blue block, then collect the Skulltula behind it.
(AL)- In the room with the big sand goddess (you jump on her two hands), there is a Skulltula in a tall pillar against a corner of the room. Play the Scarescrow's Song to make Pierre appear, then hookshot to him to get the spider.
Bottom of the Well
This dungeon is quite hard, so I'll give you a brief walkthrough of it to get the Skulltulas in here. Enter the well as a kid from Kakariko Village and make sure you have the Lens of Truth from the other walkthrough I gave you (just before the Shadow Temple Walkthrough.) Crawl through the small tunnel and use the Lens of Truth to see a fake wall (oh yeah, get the Giant Skulltula out of the way.) Walk through it to the main room, which is what I may refer to it as. Use the Lens of Truth to walk around this room. Look on the left side for a small cove with a chest. Open it for a key (you now have 1 key.) Look some more for another cove on the right wall with another chest and key inside (you now have 2 keys.) If you've been around, you'd notice one of the Skulltulas we're going to get with a Like Like. Anyway, across from that cage is a room right through the wall. Enter that room. Watch out for the Ceiling Masters and go straight through the room. Watch out for the invisible hole in the centre of the room (don't fall down it!) Go straight trough to the hall and some grating, fall down, grab a Recovery Heart from the chest, go up the vines and enter the door there. Use your Deku Stick to light all the torches and open all the coffins. Don't worry, the only mummies that come out are the ones already standing there. Just use the Sun's Song and your trusty sword to get them out of the way. Opening the chest may result in Keese flying out, Recovery Hearts or nothing. One of the coffins in the back has a key inside. Grab it and exit (you now have 3 keys.) Backtrack to that invisible room in the wall with the Ceiling Masters. Find a locked door to your left. Enter it (you now have 2 keys.) Get rid of the enemies, then find the *Golden Skulltula*. Exit the room the way you came in. Go forward until you can't anymore, then go left. Enter the locked door there (you now have 1 key.) Use the Lens of Truth to see a real path. Get rid of the annoying Keese, then go around the path. Get the *Golden Skulltula* at the end, then exit. Go to the left quite a bit and through the wall to the main room. Find a painting on the wall with a hole underneath it (use the Lens of Truth to see the hole.) Enter the tunnel on your right. Enter the locked door there (you now have 0 keys.) Use your Lens of Truth to see all those holes. Don't drop down any of them! Get rid of the enemies in the room, then open the chest over there for rupees. Enter the door at the other end of the room. Whoa, you're in a closed area with a huge Like Like! Get rid of him, then get the *Golden Skulltula*. You're finished in here! Warp out of this place. Anywhere, just get out! If for some reason, you want to collect the Silver Rupees at the bottom where the Re-Dead is, it's not too difficult. Drop down one of those holes from the last room. Collect the Rupees among the poison water, climb the ladder and enter the door. Use the Lens of Truth to see another exit out of here in the wall.
