The locations of Gold Skulltulas in the dungeons were changed in the Master Quest release. There is a section for the differently located Skulltulas after the full list for the regular Ocarina of Time game. If you follow the whole guide, there are also links down to the Master Quest locations in the dungeon's section. For the Gold Skulltulas found in the original game, see The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Gold Skulltulas.

Dodongo's Cavern
edit| Gold Skulltula | Time | Age | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 38 | Any | Both |
In the giant pillar room, use a Bomb to destroy the fake wall. Go in the room behind it. Keep on playing the Song of Time on left side of the room. The Gold Skulltula is under the back most time block. |
| 39 | Any | Both |
In the room with the three floating torches is a door that opens when all three torches are lit. Use a Deku Stick, Din's Fire, or Fire Arrows to light the torches. In the room behind that barred door is the Skulltula in the crates on the right wall. |
| 40 | Any | Both |
In the back of the room where you first fought the Lizalfos is a line of boulders. Use Bombs the ones in the center to open a path to the Gold Skulltula. |
| 41 | Any | Both |
In the Poe room is a door to the right of the entrance. Unlock the door by using a Bomb on the bomb chain on the pillar right in front of the door. Kill all the enemies inside, the Skulltula is in the top left corner of the room. Use the Boomerang to reach it. |
| 42 | Any | Both |
Near the wall of fire rings lying on top of the wall is a Golden Skulltula. Use the Boomerang to reach it. Alternatively, it is possible to leap off a nearby block to catch the ledge on which the Gold Skulltula is located. You can also return as an adult and use the Hookshot to reach it. |
Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly
edit| Gold Skulltula | Time | Age | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 51 | Any | Child |
There is a time block in the room holding the boomerang. The Gold Skulltula is underneath so play the Song of Time to reveal it. |
| 52 | Any | Child |
In the room just right of the green tentacle's room. Use the switch in the center of the room to have water raise you up. A well-timed bomb throw (or a Bombchu) will blow up the boulder to reveal the Skulltula. Use the Boomerang to retrieve the token. Alternatively, if you are having trouble getting this you can come back later and use the Song of Time to move a block in front of the boulder, then climb up and bomb it. |
| 53 | Any | Child |
In the room into which Ruto fell, the door near the vines to the upper room is protected by a blue tentacle. After you get rid of the blue tentacle enter the room where there are three invisible Keese. You can use the Lens of Truth to see them. Across the water is the Skulltula. Kill all the enemies to make a platform appear that can be used to get up to the Skulltula. Walk around either side of the web and use the Boomerang to collect the token. You can use Din's Fire to eliminate the web if you need more room to aim. Alternatively, kill the three invisible enemies without the Lens of Truth by using the Targeting System: jump into the water and swim around until you are attacked. When this happens, get out of the water, lock on using the Targeting System and you will target the invisible foe. Shoot at it with the Fairy Slingshot, then repeat this procedure until you have killed all three enemies. If an enemy ends up where it won't attack you, target it from the water to locate it, get out of the water, then fire at the same location. |
| 54 | Any | Child |
In the room before Barinade, climb up the vines in the middle of the room. Behind a small wall of web you will see the Skulltula. Stand in the very center of the platform and throw your Boomerang at the Gold Skulltula. |

| 66 | Any | Adult |
In the big room with all the Lizalfos, there is a false wall behind which you can hit a switch to reveal several Hookshot targets. Use those to get up onto the platform with a huge crack on top and play the Song of Time. Make your way onto the blue block that appears and use the Hookshot to get to the elevator the leads to the floor above. Continue from here until you reach a room with a rusted switch that triggers more Hookshot targets. Hit that and then the non-rusted switch to dissipate the fire and Hookshot up to it to move the block and reveal a Gold Skulltula. |
| 67 | Any | Adult |
In the area made up of a maze of fire walls, jump across to the square platform that held the large block and again from here to the opposite ledge. Standing near that door, play the Song of Time to make a blue block appear. Climb onto the block and leap well from it to clear the nearby fire walls. Enter the NE door along the wall here and fight the Lizalfos. A Gold Skulltula will be waiting on the back wall. |
| 68 | Any | Adult |
In the fire maze room, follow the maze. You should pass through a couple of doors to the other side. Keep navigating the maze until you reach a switch that temporarily dissipates the flames blocking the eastern door, then run over and head inside. Proceed through the rooms that follow. Eventually you should find yourself in a tiny compartment directly over the fire maze room from which you came. Claim the Gold Skulltula there. |
| 69 | Any | Adult |
In the fire maze room, enter the door (by which you play the Song of Time in 67) to the central room. Use the Hookshot to cross the fire to the other side. Hit the rusty switch with the Megaton Hammer, then climb the the target beside the switch to jump over the fire wall to get down to the lower corridor. Here you can bomb a false wall to reveal the final Gold Skulltula. |
Ice Cavern

In the room with the Compass, Blue Fire, and Piece of Heart, there is a red ice block on one of the pillars with a Gold Skulltula in it. Get some blue fire with an Empty Bottle and go by that pillar. Play the Song of Time twice to make 2 blocks appear. Climb up there and use the blue fire. |

Water Temple
edit| Gold Skulltula | Time | Age | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 73 | Any | Adult |
After you get the Fire Arrows, go back into the Water Temple and enter the south room/corridor (located on the bottom corridor below the temple entrance in the 3DS version). At the end of the corridor you will find three torches on a wall. Light the torches and the grated/gated up area will open. Use the Scarecrow's Song to Longshot to the upper part of the room and the Gold Skulltula is on the ceiling of where it was closed off. Beware of the two Stalfos who will be blocking your way. |
| 74 | Any | Adult |
In the room with the pool and the whirlpools, play the Scarecrow's Song and Pierre will appear. Longshot onto him. You will notice a door blocked off by a chain. Go towards the waterfall and put on the Iron Boots and go in the hole. You'll eventually arrive in a small room with crates and a Stalfos. Fight it and then break the crates. One of them has a Small Key. Use it on the door you saw earlier and you will arrive in a room with a switch and unlit torches. Hit the switch, get on the middle water pillar (for lack of a better term) and use Din's Fire. The torches will light and you can advance to the next room. But it's still not over! Kill all the Dodongos in the room and Longshot up to the door that just opened. You will be back in the pool room. Break the crate with the Gold Skulltula but leave at least one crate alone. You will need it to Longshot your way out of the little trapped space, and voilà! |
| 75 | Any | Adult |
After making your way through the big square room on the third floor you will drop down through an open grate to the second floor. In the next section, the river current is really strong and there are several whirlpools so you will have to use the Longshot to move from one pillar to the next. There is a Gold Skulltula on the wall, you can't miss it! |
| 76 | Any | Adult |
On the second floor, step on the yellow button switch to open up the gate leading to the south corridor. Walk past the wood crates and straight towards another gate. Use Din's Fire to light the torch that is on the inside. The Gold Skulltula is hiding behind the two wooden crates. |
