'''Skulltulas''' (スタルチュラ, ''Staltula'') are spider-like enemies that have been featured in several ''Zelda'' games. They usually hang from the ceiling and surprise [[Link]] by dropping down and attacking him. If Link goes near them, they will spin around, causing him to fly away whilst getting hurt. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', this can be avoided more easily as an adult; simply fire Link's [[Hookshot]] at it, and the sharp hook will penetrate the skull for an instant kill. Arrows can also penetrate through the skull but sword slashes and jabs cannot. To kill a Skulltula in Ocarina of Time with a sword, Link must wait for the Skulltula turn around, exposing the soft underside. It takes two hits to kill it with the [[Kokiri Sword]] / [[Master Sword]] and one hit with the [[Biggoron Sword]]. Unfortunately, this method is not present in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. A special type of Skulltula that appears in ''Ocarina of Time'' is the [[Gold Skulltula]], who drop [[Gold Skulltula Tokens]] that can be traded for useful rare items that can't be found anywhere else in the [[House of Skulltula]] in [[Kakariko Village]]. Although the Skulltula look different in each game, one constant is a skull-like shell.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', they block every one of Link's attacks until they are stunned with a shield attack, or when they attack, Link can jump aside and slash them. Link can also defeat them by first stunning them with a [[Spin Attack]] and then finishing them off with a final blow. It's noticeable when Link kills them and sheaths his sword, he will sheath his sword like he would when he kills a boss.

Skulltulas return in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' as residents of the [[Ghost Ship (Phantom Hourglass)|Ghost Ship]]. They look largely the same as their ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' incarnations but are much easier to kill, requiring only a single swipe of [[Link]]'s sword. However, they are much more annoying than before, since they re-spawn much faster than normal enemies and drop down from the ceiling to attack with little warning. The [[Cubus Sisters]] are deathly afraid of the spiders, cowering and screaming whenever they appear (although they might pretend to be in order to send the [[Reaplings]] after Link). They're so scared of them that the mere sight of a Skulltula causes them to freeze, hampering Link's rescue effort by forcing him to run back and offer reassurance.
