The Gold Skulltula is an enemy and a completely optional sidequest from both ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. When defeated, a Gold Skulltula will drop a token proving that you killed it. These tokens are used to break the curse placed on various people living inside the House of Skulltulas and the two spider houses.
The '''Gold Skulltula''', also known as the '''Spider of the Curse''',{{Ref|OoT|647|[[Navi]]}} is an enemy and is part of an optional side quest from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. Being able to be defeated with a multitude of weapons, a Gold Skulltula gives [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] a [[Gold Skulltula Token]] when defeated.


In both games, a Gold Skulltula will make a rustling noise when nearby. They act just like normal wall [[Skulltula]]s from ''Ocarina of Time'' except that they do not move from their spot on the wall. They also take twice as many hits to defeat as the normal Skulltula.

{{Navi|Gold Skulltula...
There are a total of [[Ocarina of Time Gold Skulltulas|100 Gold Skulltulas]] what [[Ganon]]dorf scattered throughout [[Hyrule]]. Their tokens will help to break the curse put on the [[Cursed Rich Family]] living in the [[House of Skulltula]]. After they are defeated, Gold Skulltula Tokens can be collected with the [[Boomerang]] or [[Hookshot]].

After collecting a certain amount of Gold Skulltula Tokens, [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] can visit the House of Skulltulas to break the curse that Ganondorf put on various family members. These people will reward Link with a gift when spoken to. After collecting 10 tokens, Link is given the [[Adult Wallet#Ocarina of Time|Adult's Wallet]]. When 20 spiders are defeated, the family will give Link the [[Stone of Agony]]. When Link collects 30 tokens, he gets the [[Giant Wallet#Ocarina of Time|Giant's Wallet]]. When Link has defeated 40 Skulltulas, Link will be rewarded with [[Bombchu]]s. At 50, Link will get a [[Piece of Heart]], and at 100, Link will get unlimited Rupees. By the time Link collects all 100 Gold Skulltulas, the free Rupees will be almost worthless.

==''Majora's Mask''==
{{main|Majora's Mask Skulltula Houses}}
As with many enemies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Gold Skulltulas are identical to the ones in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. The only difference between them is that Gold Skulltulas in ''Majora's Mask'' can only be found in spider houses. There are two of these houses found in the game; the [[Swamp Spider House]], and the [[Oceanside Spider House]]. Each of these have 30 Skulltulas each.


===Locations===
After defeating all 30 Skulltulas in the Swamp Spider House, the man at the entrance has been cured of his curse and will give [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]] the [[Mask of Truth]].


{| class="wikitable"
In the Oceanside Spider House, a man will appear wanting to buy the house. In the N64 version, he will give Link a wallet upgrade if he has cleared the house on the [[First Day]], or rupees if it is done on the [[Second Day|Second]] or [[Final Day]]. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D|Majora's Mask 3D]]'', he will give Link the wallet upgrade regardless of which day it is.

{{main|Hyrule Warriors Gold Skulltulas}}
{{stub|section|Out of date}}
Gold Skulltulas are a collectible in ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]''. Like in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', a total of 100 Gold Skulltulas can be found throughout all of the [[Hyrule Warriors Stages|stages]]. However, they only appear after specific requirements are met in the stage. Also, there are cases where they may not appear when certain characters are on the stage or certain weapons are used. When a character fulfills the requirements, a spider web appears on the map showing where the Gold Skulltula has appeared in the stage. One example of a place where they can hide is inside a boulder, making the character use [[bomb]]s to destroy it. The Gold Skulltula escapes after a set amount of time, so the characters have to find them quickly. As the character gets closer, rustling noises can be heard, revealing it is nearby. Once they have uncovered and defeated a Gold Skulltula, they will receive a puzzle piece that gets them one step closer to completing an illustration.


[[File:Gold Skulltula Token.png|Thumb|left|A Gold Skulltula Token]]After collecting a certain amount of Gold Skulltula Tokens, Link can visit the House of Skulltulas to break the curse put on various family members. These people will reward Link with a gift when spoke to. After collecting 10 tokens, Link is given the [[Adult's Wallet]]. When 20 spiders are killed, the family will give Link the [[Stone of Agony]]. When Link collects 30 tokens, he gets the [[Giant's Wallet]]. When he has 40 killed Skulltulas, Link will be rewarded with [[Bombchu]]s. At 50 he will get a [[Piece of Heart]] and at 100 Link will get unlimited rupees. By the time Link collects all 100 Gold Skulltulas, the free rupees will be almost worthless. Alternatively, you could continuously collect Gold Skulltula token number 78.

===Unlimited Gold Skulltula Glitch===
{{References}}
Once you have [[Bomb]]s, the [[boomerang]], and the [[Song of Storms]], you can get unlimited Gold Skulltulas. There are a few simple steps.
1. Go to the lone tree inside [[Hyrule Castle]].
2. Play the [[Song of Storms]] to make a hole appear in the ground.
3. Enter the hole. You will hear the scratching of a [[Skulltula]]. Behind one of the walls is a Gold Skulltula. Blow up the walls and you will find it. Kill the skulltula, but DON'T GET THE COIN.
4. Walk very close to the exit portal, but do not enter it.
5. Target the coin with the [[boomerang]], and throw it.
6. Get into the exit portal before the boomerang returns.
If you did this correctly, your Skulltula count will have gone up, and you can re-enter the hole to find that the Gold Skulltula is still there. Then you can repeat.
*This works on all versions of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' BUT Ocarina of Time 3D.
 
==Majora's Mask==
 
As with many enemies in ''Majora's Mask'', Gold Skulltulas are identical to the ones in ''Ocarina of Time''. The only difference between them is that Gold Skulltulas in ''Majora's Mask'' can only be found in spider houses. There are two of these houses found in the game; the Swamp Spider Houses, and the Ocean Spider House. Each of these have 30 Skulltulas each. After defeating all 30 Skulltulas in a spider house, the man at the entrance has been revived of his curse and will give you a gift. The item in question varies depending on what day you finish.

Gold Skulltula

The Gold Skulltula, also known as the Spider of the Curse,[1] is an enemy and is part of an optional side quest from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Being able to be defeated with a multitude of weapons, a Gold Skulltula gives Link a Gold Skulltula Token when defeated.

In both games, a Gold Skulltula will make a rustling noise when nearby. They act just like normal wall Skulltulas from Ocarina of Time except that they do not move from their spot on the wall. They also take twice as many hits to defeat as the normal Skulltula.

Ocarina of Time

Gold Skulltula
This is also known as a Spider of the Curse.
If you defeat it, you'll get a token as proof!

There are a total of 100 Gold Skulltulas what Ganondorf scattered throughout Hyrule. Their tokens will help to break the curse put on the Cursed Rich Family living in the House of Skulltula. After they are defeated, Gold Skulltula Tokens can be collected with the Boomerang or Hookshot.

After collecting a certain amount of Gold Skulltula Tokens, Link can visit the House of Skulltulas to break the curse that Ganondorf put on various family members. These people will reward Link with a gift when spoken to. After collecting 10 tokens, Link is given the Adult's Wallet. When 20 spiders are defeated, the family will give Link the Stone of Agony. When Link collects 30 tokens, he gets the Giant's Wallet. When Link has defeated 40 Skulltulas, Link will be rewarded with Bombchus. At 50, Link will get a Piece of Heart, and at 100, Link will get unlimited Rupees. By the time Link collects all 100 Gold Skulltulas, the free Rupees will be almost worthless.

Majora's Mask

Main article: Majora's Mask Skulltula Houses

As with many enemies in Majora's Mask, Gold Skulltulas are identical to the ones in Ocarina of Time. The only difference between them is that Gold Skulltulas in Majora's Mask can only be found in spider houses. There are two of these houses found in the game; the Swamp Spider House, and the Oceanside Spider House. Each of these have 30 Skulltulas each.

After defeating all 30 Skulltulas in the Swamp Spider House, the man at the entrance has been cured of his curse and will give Link the Mask of Truth.

In the Oceanside Spider House, a man will appear wanting to buy the house. In the N64 version, he will give Link a wallet upgrade if he has cleared the house on the First Day, or rupees if it is done on the Second or Final Day. In Majora's Mask 3D, he will give Link the wallet upgrade regardless of which day it is.

This section is a stub. You can help the Zelda Dungeon Wiki by expanding it.

Gold Skulltulas are a collectible in Hyrule Warriors. Like in Ocarina of Time, a total of 100 Gold Skulltulas can be found throughout all of the stages. However, they only appear after specific requirements are met in the stage. Also, there are cases where they may not appear when certain characters are on the stage or certain weapons are used. When a character fulfills the requirements, a spider web appears on the map showing where the Gold Skulltula has appeared in the stage. One example of a place where they can hide is inside a boulder, making the character use bombs to destroy it. The Gold Skulltula escapes after a set amount of time, so the characters have to find them quickly. As the character gets closer, rustling noises can be heard, revealing it is nearby. Once they have uncovered and defeated a Gold Skulltula, they will receive a puzzle piece that gets them one step closer to completing an illustration.
