Ocarina of Time Remake Gold Skulltulas: All 100 Locations Checklist

All 100 Gold Skulltulas in the Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, grouped by area and dungeon. The numbers are this site’s checklist numbers and roughly follow the order a normal playthrough reaches each one. Every row says which age can get it, what you need and whether it only appears at night. “Bug” means catching a bug in an empty bottle and releasing it on a patch of soft soil. For the main route through each dungeon, start from the walkthrough hub.

What do Gold Skulltula tokens unlock?

Each Gold Skulltula you defeat leaves a token. Take them to the Cursed Rich Man in the House of Skulltula in Kakariko Village. At every threshold one of his sons is freed and he gives you a reward. Most players aim for the Echo Gem at 20 first, then the Piece of Heart at 50.

Tokens	Reward
10	Adult’s Wallet (holds 500 Rupees)
20	Echo Gem: equip it and it lights up and chimes near Gold Skulltulas
30	Giant’s Wallet (holds 1,000 Rupees)
40	20 Bombchus
50	Piece of Heart
100	A 200-Rupee gold rupee, again every time you talk to him

The wallet sizes match the items and upgrades page: you start with a 200-Rupee wallet. The 20-token Stone of Agony from the original has been replaced by the Echo Gem.

How do I find Gold Skulltulas?

The Cursed Rich Man gives the main hints himself. Spiders out in the open only come out at night, so play the Sun’s Song if you arrive during the day. Some hide in soft soil, and releasing a bottled bug on the patch draws them out. Trees with a spider in them drop leaves; dash and roll into the trunk to knock it down. Others are in crates or behind walls you bomb. For ones out of reach, use the Boomerang as a child or the Hookshot as an adult; both also pull the token back to you.

The remake’s world map shows a Gold Skulltula counter for each area. Once you have the Echo Gem, wear it and sweep any area that still shows missing tokens.

Where are the Gold Skulltulas in the child dungeons? (16)

Great Deku Tree, Dodongo Cavern, Lord Jabu-Jabu’s Belly and the Bottom of the Well hold 16 between them. Dodongo Cavern #56 needs an adult with the Hookshot. In the remake all four Deku Tree tokens can be taken on the first visit; you no longer need to come back with bombs or the Boomerang.
