The following rewards are unlocked for finding the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time gold skulltulas:

• Collect 10: Adult Wallet (Link can carry 200 Rupees)

Gold Skulltulas can only be found at night, underground or inside dungeons. Some can only be found as young or adult Link. If their token is too far to retrieve, use the Boomerang (as a child) or Hookshot (as an adult) to bring the item to you. Keep this in mind while searching!

Kokiri Forest / Lost
Woods / Sacred Meadow

01 (Young Link, Nighttime) – After finishing the first dungeon, return to Kokiri Forest at night and find the spider on the back of the Know it all Brothers’ house.

02 (Young Link) – Use a Bottle to catch some bugs, then drop the bugs in a patch of dirt near the Item Shop to reveal a napping Skulltula.

03 (Young Link) – Take two lefts in the Lost Woods and drop bugs in the dirt patch.

04 (Young Link) – In the Lost Woods, go right-left-right-left-left. Once again, dump bugs in the patch to reveal a Skulltula. Best to worry about these later in the game when you have all four Bottles.

05 (Adult Link) – Plant a Magic Bean in the same spot as the above Skulltula, then as an adult ride the leaf to find the new Skulltula

06 (Adult Link) – Use the Hookshot to strike a spider hiding on the House of Twins.

07 (Adult Link) – In the Sacred Meadow, climb the ladder and you’ll see a Skulltula hugging the wall. The Hookshot can hit him and collect the token.

Inside the Great Deku
Tree

08 (Young Link) – In the room with the Compass, near a small treasure chest.

09 (Young Link) – After falling down to B1, you’ll see this Skulltula clinging to a fence.

Goron City

20 (Young Link) – The entrance to Dodongo’s Cavern contains a patch of dirt. Drop some bugs in, collect the spider. Make sure to also plant a Magic Bean here for a Heart Piece later!

21 (Either) – Notice the odd-looking wall near the beginning of the trail. Bomb it and find the next Skulltula. Strangely, you can climb this wall.

22 (Young Link) – On the top floor of Goron City, find a room full of rocks. Work your way to a crate and roll into it to reveal the spider.

23 (Young Link) – As you enter the Death Mountain Summit (likely after completing the second dungeon), quickly roll into a crate. You’re timed due to the heat, but you should have plenty of wiggle room.

24 (Young Link) – There’s a spot of dirt near the entrance to the Fire Temple. Come back as a child and drop bugs to obtain the Skulltula. This dirt patch also leads to two Heart Pieces by planting a Magic Bean.

25 (Adult Link) – There’s a red rock near the entrance to Goron City. Smash it.

26 (Adult Link) – In the rock-falling area, look for a red rock along the wall. Smash it, find the next Skulltula.

If you’re looking for a challenge, tons of games will readily provide one. Between extreme difficulty settings, permadeath modes, and special end-of-game ranks, developers love giving masochistic gamers the tools they need to take on thumb-blisteringly arduous playthroughs. But sometimes, even the built-in options don’t offer enough of an obstacle to overcome. And when that happens, it’s time for patient, dedicated, maybe-a-little-insane players to invent their own kind of Herculean feats.

Through a combination of playfulness, ingenuity, and a dash of self-hatred, passionate gamers have come up with some truly inspired ways of testing their reflexes and cognitive thinking in their favorite titles. What follows are some of the custom rules and restrictions players put on themselves in order to up the ante to incredible heights. And while these challenges might seem completely impossible to us mere mortals, they’ve all been achieved by at least one incredibly determined human being. If you’re brave and/or crazy enough, perhaps you can follow in the footsteps of these gaming demigods, or devise something even more intense yourself.

Guide Young Link through treacherous dungeons… blindfolded

During the Awesome Games Done Quick marathon that kicked off 2015, expert player Runnerguy2489 dazzled a room full of people that are renowned for their skill at playing video games. He did this by playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time without looking at the screen, making his way through the three ‘Child Dungeons’ encountered at the start of the game all while wearing a blindfold.

Now, this isn’t the first time a runner has amazed onlookers with a live performance of blindfolded gaming – Sinister1’s blind Punch-Out!! run is a must-see (unless you’re wearing a blindfold). But that run involved a stationary character and limited plane of movement, while Ocarina of Time drops you into a massive three-dimensional world. Watching Runnerguy2489 work his way past countless obstacles with only subtle sound effects, environmental cues, and his memory to guide him, all while he’s verbally explaining what’s happening, is absolutely stunning. He’s essentially the Luke Skywalker of Zelda speedrunners.

Defeat Dark Souls with the power of rock

The Souls series has a reputation for being cruel, but that’s unfounded – it simply requires caution, pattern recognition, and sharp reflexes to succeed. So if you can beat those games with a regular 360 pad, why not a plastic rhythm game peripheral? Beating Ornstein and Smough one-handed wasn’t enough for Benjamin ‘Bearzly’ Gwin, so he decided to map the game inputs to some Rock Band instruments – first a guitar, then a drum kit.

Even with a greatly limited moveset, Bearzly’s insanely impressive runs show just how far you can get with camera controls, an attack button, a roll button, and a generous amount of skill. And by ‘far’, I mean the end credits of both Dark Souls games. Just get ready for some seriously sore forearms in the morning.

Beat Final Fantasy in a party of one

Final Fantasy games are all about teamwork, where a ragtag group of adventurers band together to overcome evil. Or, if you’re particularly sure of your skills, you can venture off on your lonesome and hog all the glory for yourself. The FF series lends itself nicely to those that want to deprive themselves of additional skills or party members, but the best starting point is the original. Simply pick your preferred class, let your other three party members hit the dirt, and get ready to grind to max level just to have a chance of survival!

Each class offers varying degrees of outrageous difficulty, from the Fighter’s more forgiving balance of defense and offense, to the White Mage’s delicate combo of physical frailty and evasion spells. But the ultimate challenge is piloting a lone Thief through the entire game – the weakest class, whose only specialty is running away from fights. Good luck.

Conquer Spelunky alone while cradling an eggplant for dear life

If you’ve ever played it, then you know that Spelunky is by no means an easy game. Careless or mistimed jumps will often get you insta-killed, and everything in its cavernous depths is out to get you. The only thing more frail than your spelunker’s life is the Eggplant, a seemingly useless item that’s impossibly tricky to find and instantly splats if anything touches it. But wouldn’t you know it – the Eggplant actually has the power to transform the final boss King Yama in the hidden Hell stage.

Simply getting that far is an impressive feat, and doing so with an Eggplant intact was only thought to be possible in co-op play. But through an astonishing display of patience, reflex, and some heart-stopping near misses, runner Bananasaurus Rex managed to finish the game solo with an Eggplant on King Yama’s noggin. This extensive breakdown of Rex’s run shows just how miraculous it is that challenge can actually be completed.

Be picky with your Pokemon team in the Nuzlocke Challenge

Here’s a popular player-made challenge that’s a bit more forgiving than most, thanks to its straightforward ruleset and emphasis on those fancy ’emergent narratives’ rather than raw skill. Here are the basics of the Nuzlocke Challenge: any Pokemon that faint are considered dead and must be released, and the only Pokemon you can even attempt to capture are the first ones you encounter in any given area.

That’s it! But what you’ll soon find is that fate is about to deal you a misfit hand of Pokemon, and it’s your battle to make the best of it. Nicknaming each of your Pokemon is highly recommend, so that you may cheer for them when they’re victorious and weep for them should they fall in battle. You might not fill your Pokedex while attempting the Nuzlocke Challenge, but you’re sure to see the Pokemon that you’d typically ignore in an entirely new, deeply personal light.

Brave the perils of Diablo 2 as a naked, unarmed Sorceress

Like many Diablo 2 players, a forum user by the name of MongoJerry liked to imagine unique backstories for his characters – all of whom had rather atypical builds – and chronicle their adventures online. And by my estimation, his crowning achievement in both storytelling and spectacle is Irene the Infirm, a Hardcore Sorceress with no armor, no weapons, no stat points assigned, and no abilities learned.

With nothing but her two fists and some help from her equally unarmed mercenary, Irene slew every monster in Act 1, including the big boss Andariel. When you’re as frail as wet tissue paper and your damage caps out at two hitpoints, downing any enemy is a feat, let alone a half-naked, poison-spewing demon. I highly suggest that you read the story of Irene the Infirm if you want to experience the glory of D2’s best role-playing builds.

Hit max level in World of Warcraft without ever choosing sides

Azeroth and its denizens are defined by conflict, with constant tension between Horde and Alliance players. But not everyone’s born to fight – and some commendably dedicated players would rather abstain from all the ‘war’ business in Warcraft and experience the world their own way. The race of Pandaren start their journey as a neutral third party, but are forced to swear allegiance to a faction when leaving the starting zone. So what did player Doubleagent do when he wanted to hit max level as a conscientious objector?

He simply stayed put on in the Wandering Isles zone, slowly but surely grinding his way to the previous level cap of 90 through professions alone. This amounted to 173 days of in-game time spent collecting herbs and mining nodes for paltry scraps of XP. That’s dedication. There’s also the similar tale of Irenic, a Tauren who hit 90 without ever killing a single creature.

Slice your way through Soulcalibur with a plastic fishing rod

Reading about this nutty accomplishment in the pages of EGM was my first exposure to the idea of using niche peripherals to play the ‘wrong’ game. Clearly no longer content with the humdrum action of Sega Bass Fishing, an intrepid Japanese gamer took it upon himself to beat the original Soulcalibur (on Ultra Hard, no less) with a Dreamcast Fishing Controller.

Watching him deftly control Cervantes’ sword swipes with flicks of the fake half-fishing rod feels like the precursor to Wiimote waggling, only five times more comical. And those moments when he reels in with the rage of a thousand suns while charging up for an attack are just too good.

Score the bare minimum amount of points in Super Mario Bros.

Most people ignore their scores when playing a Super Mario game, simply content to reach that axe behind Bowser and send him plummeting into a pit of lava. And while chasing high scores is all well and good, why not try beating the game with the lowest number of points possible? Runner NotEntirelySure found the answer to one of life’s greatest mysteries: 500 points is the absolute minimum score possible while still finishing the game (without continues, naturally).

The catch is that this can only be accomplished by never collecting a coin or killing an enemy, then jumping at the bottom of the stage-ending flagpole when the timer reaches ‘000’. Never before have you seen Mario so afraid to snag a golden coin or bop a Goomba, but he gets the princess-rescuing job done all the same.

Many in the Japanese games industry talk gloom and doom for their future, but if they’d all just shut up and make games as crazy, funny, action-packed, and unique asShadows of the Damned (opens in new tab), everything would be fine. Headed up by the beloved-by-critics Suda51, with support from big name developers including Resident Evil’s Shinji Mikami and Silent Hill’s Akira Yamaoka, this exuberant look at a journey through the bowels of Hell was head and shoulders above everything else that cropped up on home consoles this month.

The bloody, shadowy action was more entertaining than FEAR 3, the unique design aesthetics made us forget about Alice, the eclectic soundtrack is one of the most memorable we’ve heard in a long time, and the comedy was legitimately funny, unlike the painfully shitty Duke Nukem. Shadows of the Damned first won our hearts by being the most playable game from Grasshopper Manufacture to date, no doubt helped by the input of Mikami, as the controls take what RE4 did for over-the-shoulder shooting and ran with it. Despite being equipped with only three different firearms throughout the game, the shooting never let us down.

As we braved through more of Hell in SotD, we found to so many other reasons to enjoy our stay. Almost all the boss fights had some clever trick that kept things interesting, with some battles a genuine challenge that made each win feeling earned. We loved how sometimes SotD wouldsuddenly surprise us with some gameplay twist that was truly bizarre and unpredictable. Likewise the game impressed us with how it kept its formula fresh while simultaneously maintaining a familiar feel to the action. But what we’ll remember most is Damned’s mastery of the not-so-subtle art of the dick joke.

Shadows of the Damned never met a dick joke it didn’t love, with the risqué gags told so often and with such giddiness that you just have to give in and enjoy them. Unlike the mean jockishness of Duke Nukem Forever’s humor, Damned’s juvenile jokes have a childlike innocence to them that you can’t hate. SotD has over-the-top action, an unpredictable pace, and more dick jokes than you can shake a phallic symbol at. What’s not to love?

Runner up: The Legend
of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

In the grand scheme of things,Ocarina (opens in new tab)is a bigger, better game than Shadows of the Damned. But it wouldn’t be fair to award “Game of the Month” to a remake instead of a brand new title, so we’re bumping this admittedly excellent 3D conversion down to runner-up. Like we said in the review, this is everything you loved about the groundbreaking original – the puzzles, the story, the expansive Hyrule Field and countless secrets hidden in every room – gussied up for another moment in the spotlight. Further improvements, like controls and inventory management, were also addressed to make this the definitive version of an already outstanding adventure. As with any Zelda, there are a handful of minor complaints along the way, but they’re insignificant when compared to the staggering amount Nintendo (and 3DS dev Grezzo) got so perfectly right.

As usual, I play through the dungeon, and have Carolyn, Henry and Mike Grimm in tow for color commentary and no small amount of ridicule. Now that Ocarina of Time is handled, what other game would you like to see played through in a series of videos? We have some thoughts, but we’re always eager to appease you fine folks…

Aftereight videosand just as many hours, we’re finally entering the home stretch. Ocarina of Time’s closing moments are indeed some of the series’ best, with a climactic showdown between Link and Ganondorf, and then a truly awesome duel to the death with the latter’s final form. While I may bitch and moan about the platforming elements in this dungeon (they’re irrefutably awful), that last skirmish with Ganon still ranks among my favorite videogame moments of all time. I go intogreater detail in the video, but yeah, it’s amazing. Still the best final boss of any Zelda game, maybe of any Nintendo title.

The last thing you should do before finally heading to Goron City is visit the graveyard on the east side of Kakariko Village. Dampe the groundskeeper can provide another heart piece (by digging in soft soil), a Hylian Shield is located under one of the gravestones and the large grave at the top of the hill leads to the Sun Song. Then, at long last, head to Goron City, play Saria’s Song to Darunia and enter Dodongo’s Cavern.

Get: Bomb Bag, Gold Skulltulas x5, Heart Container, Spiritual Stone of Fire

The second dungeon isn’t much more difficult than the first. You’re largely committed to a straight path and don’t have much opportunity to get turned around. Bombs are key to most of the puzzles here – if you’re not sure what to do, try using a bomb.

It’s also worth noting the Deku Shield can catch on fire and burn away. We recommend using the Hylian Shield (obtained in the graveyard earlier) here, which can protect Link from the mini-Dodongo enemies as they crawl over him. Refer to the video if you get stuck any other places.

Some general dungeon info: they all contain a map and compass; the former to reveal the layout and number of floors, and the latter to show which direction you’re facing as well as which door you last exited.

Above: Plant a bomb in the middle to set both sides off at the same time

Above: Drop bombs into both eye holes to open a path to the boss

Fighting Dodongo: If you’re on top of your game, you can best the “infernal dinosaur” in about a minute. Take out a bomb, approach him and he’ll open his mouth – toss the bomb in (hold forward to toss, otherwise you’ll drop it) to shred his insides with searing gas pains. Once he’s stunned, hit him with your sword until he stands up again. He’ll then curl into a ball and roll around his lair – avoid this by simply standing near the hot lava center, just close enough so you’re out of range of the rolling attack but not quite touching the lava. Repeat until he’s through.

Now armed with bombs, explore Death Mountain and Goron City for newly accessible areas. You’ll be able to acquire a larger bomb bag, a heart piece and the magical Din’s Fire attack all thanks to your new item.
