| - Gold Skulltulas, also known as Spiders of the Curse, are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. These spiders resemble Skullwalltulas and are of roughly the same size, but have a spiky, metallic carapace. Gold Skulltulas are connected to a vile curse that transforms the greedy into deformed Skulltulas. Link can undertake various side quests involving the killing of these enemies and subsequent recovery of their Gold Skulltula Tokens, which when gathered, weaken the curse. Similar to Skullwalltulas, Gold Skulltulas produce a telltale scratching sound, though the exact sound varies slightly — that of Gold Skulltulas is more metallic than that emitted by Skullwalltulas.

| - Gold Skulltulas, also known as Spiders of the Curse, are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. These spiders resemble Skullwalltulas and are of roughly the same size, but have a spiky, metallic carapace. Gold Skulltulas are connected to a vile curse that transforms the greedy into deformed Skulltulas. Link can undertake various side quests involving the killing of these enemies and subsequent recovery of their Gold Skulltula Tokens, which when gathered, weaken the curse. Similar to Skullwalltulas, Gold Skulltulas produce a telltale scratching sound, though the exact sound varies slightly — that of Gold Skulltulas is more metallic than that emitted by Skullwalltulas. Gold Skulltulas can be found both clinging onto walls and hidden inside objects such as crates, pots and patches of Soft Soil, as well as in the canopies of trees. Nocturnal creatures, Gold Skulltulas appear only at night or in other dark, cavernous locations. Commonly, Gold Skulltulas are found out of the reach of Link's sword, requiring the use of ranged weapons such as the Fairy Bow or Fairy Slingshot. While Gold Skulltulas can be defeated with these items, the tokens they leave behind can only be acquired by means of ranged retrieval items such as the Hookshot or Boomerang. Gold Skulltulas are passive and do not aggressively attack Link, but will damage him if he touches one. Gold Skulltulas are one of very few enemies that cannot be Z-targeted, forcing Link to aim manually. Their tokens, however, can easily be Z-targeted. Golden Skulltulas are shown to be capable of surviving underwater as a few can be found underwater.
