1. INTRODUCTION
*******************************************************************************
Heyo, and welcome to my little guide about the most annoying little buggers
in The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time and Master Quest. Scattered across
the land of Hyrule are 100 Gold Skulltulas, and one of the game's subquests is
to destroy as many of these as you can to win fabulous prizes.
*******************************************************************************
2. FAQ
*******************************************************************************
Q: What are Gold Skulltulas?
A: Gold Skulltulas are small spider-like bad guys with gold shells that
resemble skulls. They are generally found on walls, and they don't move,
aside from shifting around in place.
Q: What do I do once I find one?
A: Waste it. After that, it will drop a token. Make sure you collect this
token, because that's the important part. It's not enough just to kill it.
Q: Why am I hunting for these things?
A: In Kakariko Village, there's a family that was cursed because of greed, and
turned into Skulltulas. The house they live in is the first house on your
right as you enter the village from the main gate. If you kill Skulltulas and
collect their tokens, the curse on the family will weaken, and you'll be
rewarded.
Q: What will I get from the cursed family?
A: After every ten Skulltulas, one of the children will be freed, and they
will give you a rewards. After the five children are okay, you have to find
the remaining fifty. Here's what you receive:
10 Skulltulas: Adult's Wallet (allows you to carry 200 Rupees)
20 Skulltulas: Stone of Agony (using a Rumble Pak will alert you to nearby
covered holes)
30 Skulltulas: Giant's Wallet (allows you to carry 500 Rupees)
40 Skulltulas: 10 Bombchus (a speedy running bomb)
50 Skulltulas: A Piece of Heart (one fourth of a Heart Container)
100 Skulltulas: A Huge Rupee (worth 200)
Q: What are some tips for finding Skulltulas?
A: If you're looking for them out in the open, hunt at night, as several will
only appear at that time. Also, there are a few Skulltulas that hide in crates
and the branches of trees. There are also several soft soil holes in Hyrule.
Dumping a bottle of bugs into the hole will force a Skulltula out. And, of
course, there are plenty in each of the dungeons. Oh, and you'll always be
able to hear the skritch-skritch-skritch of the Skulltula shuffling around.
You'll hear it in your sleep. I know I did. If you find all the Skulltulas in
an area, you'll see a token marking next to that location on the map.
Q: How have the locations of Skulltulas changed in the Master Quest?
A: As far as the overworld is concerned, not at all. In the dungeons,
however, they have been moved, and sometimes placed a lot more insidiously.
