Swamp Spider House

The Swamp Spider House, also known as the Fearful Spider House, is a house full of Gold Skulltulas, found in the Southern Swamp in.

Entrance to the House
The place is located relatively close to the Deku Palace. However, the entrance to the house itself is blocked by a spiderweb that must be burned (either with a Deku Stick or with a Fire Arrow) in order to gain access. The Cursed Man in the vestibule explains that the curse on the house can only be lifted by defeating all 30 Gold Skulltulas inside.

Themes and Navigation
The Swamp Spider House has several puzzles that cannot be completed without a multitude of items. Up to two Magic Beans are a possible necessity, as two coins cannot normally be reached without the platform that the beans provide; however, this problem could be circumvented by using the Hookshot, although this doesn't become available until much later in the game. Another necessity are Bugs, which can conveniently be found within the house. The Gold Skulltulas are hiding all over the house, in various nooks and obscured by pillars, dirt, and pots. Link must use all resources acquired up to Magic Beans in order to find all thirty Gold Skulltulas.

Once the Gold Skulltulas are defeated, the Cursed Man within the Spider House will be cleansed, and he will express his thanks to Link by giving him the Mask of Truth.
