Zelda Ocarina Of Time Master Quest : The Gold Skulltulas of the Overworld
Skulltulas in bean holes are retrieved by putting bugs into the hole.
These bugs can be bought in shops or collected using a bottle under certain rocks or patches of grass.
Skulltulas come out at night, so if you can't find some, come back at night. Skulltulas in trees or crates are obtained by rolling into them.
There are 56 Skulltulas in Hyrule and 44 in dungeons or equivalents (well and ice cavern).
If you find all the Skulltulas in an area, an icon
will appear to the left of the name on the map screen (in the map menu).
I have separated the page into 3 parts.
First, the Skulltulas you get as a child (before growing up), those you get as Adult Link, and those you can get as a child but only after having grown up.
You can see the old page sorted by location without the child/adult distinction.
