Gold Skulltula

The Gold Skulltula is an enemy and a completely optional sidequest from both Ocarina of Time and 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.

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.

Variations

Ocarina of Time

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