There are 100 Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time gold skulltulas to track down across Hyrule, but it's well worth your (and Link's) time to round up these elusive collectibles. That's because they each count towards unlocking a new reward back at the House of Skulltula in Kakariko Village, which in turn will allow you to carry more Rupees, discover hidden secrets, and upgrade your HP. Of course, if you need another reason to find these items, it helps to know that each one will also lift a curse that has horribly disfigured a family! Whatever your reasons for seeking them out, these are all of the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time gold skulltulas locations.
The following rewards are unlocked for finding the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time gold skulltulas:
- Collect 10: Adult Wallet (Link can carry 200 Rupees)
- Collect 20: Stone/Shard of Agony (Rumbles/Lights up when secrets are near)
- Collect 30: Giant Wallet (Link can carry 500 Rupees)
- Collect 40: 10 Bombchus
- Collect 50: A piece of heart
- Collect 100: 200 Rupees
Gold Skulltulas can only be found at night, underground or inside dungeons. Some can only be found as young or adult Link. If their token is too far to retrieve, use the Boomerang (as a child) or Hookshot (as an adult) to bring the item to you. Keep this in mind while searching!
Kokiri Forest / Lost Woods / Sacred Meadow
01 (Young Link, Nighttime) – After finishing the first dungeon, return to Kokiri Forest at night and find the spider on the back of the Know it all Brothers’ house.

03 (Young Link) – Take two lefts in the Lost Woods and drop bugs in the dirt patch.
04 (Young Link) – In the Lost Woods, go right-left-right-left-left. Once again, dump bugs in the patch to reveal a Skulltula. Best to worry about these later in the game when you have all four Bottles.

06 (Adult Link) – Use the Hookshot to strike a spider hiding on the House of Twins.
