FAQ
How many Gold Skulltulas are in the Ocarina of Time remake?
The Switch 2 remake has 100 Gold Skulltulas, the same total as the original, but not all of them are in the same spots. Hand in the tokens at the House of Skulltula in Kakariko Village to collect the rewards.
What does the Echo Gem do?
The Echo Gem is new in the remake and replaces the Stone of Agony. You get it for 20 tokens. It blinks and makes a sound when you are near a Gold Skulltula, even during the day if that spider only appears at night.
Can you miss any Gold Skulltulas?
No. None of the 100 can be missed for good, because you can return to dungeons and areas you have already finished.
How do you get a Gold Skulltula out of a bug hole?
Catch a bug in a bottle, for example by cutting grass, and release it at the bug hole. The bug crawls in and forces the Gold Skulltula out, so you can defeat it.
How many Gold Skulltulas do you need?
50 is the best target, because that gives you a Piece of Heart. The reward for all 100 is mainly for completionists: a Gold Rupee each time you visit the House of Skulltula.
