Tips and Tricks

Master The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with our expert tips and tricks. Learn about Gold Skulltula numbering differences in Master Quest and general gameplay advice.

Hey there! So you're diving into Ocarina of Time, huh? Awesome choice! This guide is here to help you out with some handy tips and tricks, especially if you're tackling the Master Quest version. Don't worry if some of the Gold Skulltula numbers seem a bit out of sync – that's totally normal, and we'll help you keep track.

A Note for Master Quest Players:

You'll notice that the Gold Skulltula tokens in Master Quest are numbered based on where you'd find them in the original game. For instance, in the Deku Tree, which has 4 Skulltulas, you might find 3 on your first go in the original. In Master Quest, you might only grab one initially, but the game still numbers the others as if you were playing the original. Just keep an eye on the token count at the start of each section to make sure you've got the right number. It can be a little confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of it!

A Word from Your Guide:

Full disclosure, it's been a while since I last played through Ocarina of Time – about five years, to be exact! I've sunk a ton of hours into this game over the years, both the original and the 3DS remake, so I'm pretty familiar with it. While I might be a little rusty on some of the super obscure tricks, I've got the main stuff down pat and I'm here to share what I remember to help you on your journey through Hyrule.
