Collect all 100 Gold Skulltula tokens in the new Ocarina of Time and the last prize is 200 Rupees. You can go back for another 200 every time you visit, but that is the whole payoff for clearing a 100-item checklist.
Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on November 5, 2026, as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. The company’s own pages describe rebuilt visuals, orchestral music, voiced cutscenes and reworked camera and movement controls. They do not mention the spiders at all, so the numbers below come from walkthroughs published after launch by players who worked through the game. We have not played the game ourselves.
How many Gold Skulltulas are in the remake
There are 100, the same total as the 1998 Nintendo 64 original. Two separately written guides reach that figure. One of them sorts the tokens by location, and adding up its table gives 55 in the overworld and 45 inside dungeons and mini-dungeons. Kakariko Village is the single richest stop, with eight.
Some of the old hiding spots no longer apply, because a number of Skulltulas have moved. Many still appear only after dark, so an empty wall at noon proves nothing. Tokens are handed in at the House of Skulltula in Kakariko, where a cursed family pays out at fixed totals.
Every reward, in order
- 10 tokens: Adult’s Wallet.
- 20 tokens: Echo Gem, new to this version.
- 30 tokens: Giant’s Wallet, which holds 1,000 Rupees.
- 40 tokens: a supply of Bombchus.
- 50 tokens: a Piece of Heart.
- 100 tokens: 200 Rupees, repeatable.
Guides disagree on how many Bombchus the 40-token prize contains and on exactly how much the first wallet holds, so we have left those two figures out until they settle.
The real prize comes at 20
The Echo Gem takes the slot the Stone of Agony held in 1998. The old stone pointed players toward hidden grottos. The new gem gives off a chime and a visible light when a Gold Skulltula is close, which means it starts paying you back on the remaining 80.
That makes the order of the hunt lopsided. The first 20 tokens have to be found without the gem. After that the game does part of the searching for you. A Giant’s Wallet full of 1,000 Rupees takes just five trips to the final payout to fill from empty, and one walkthrough calls that prize underwhelming at such a late point in the game.
Where to start
Go to Kakariko at night as soon as the village opens up. One walkthrough lists a cluster there, including a spider on the watchtower ladder and another beside the front door of the cursed family’s own house. Add the four in the Great Deku Tree and the handful around Castle Town and Lon Lon Ranch, and the first wallet arrives early.
Nintendo is offering a Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary digital wallpaper to anyone who buys the digital version before 11:59 p.m. PT on November 23, 2026.
