The Swamp Spider House is a house full of Gold Skulltulas, found in the Southern Swamp in Majora's Mask. Once inside, Link finds a strange Skulltula who actually turns out to be a person who was cursed by the Spider House. According to him, a person once told him that he could become rich and gave him the Mask of Truth. The person said that the instructions to become rich were written somewhere in the Spider House, but just as the man went in to go look, he became cursed and turned into a Skulltula-like creature himself.[1][2] The only method to lift the curse is for the thirty Gold Skulltulas in the house to be killed and their spirits harvested as proof of their defeat.[3]
The entrance to the house itself is blocked by a spiderweb that must be burned in order to gain entry. The Swamp Spider House has several puzzles that cannot be completed without a multitude of items. Magic Beans are a possible necessity, as several areas cannot be reached without the platform that the beans provide; however, this problem can be circumvented with the extra jumping power provided by the Bunny Hood, or just by using the Hookshot. Another necessity are Bugs, found within the house. The Gold Skulltulas are hiding all over the house, in various nooks and obscured by pillars and pots. Link must use all of his skills to find all thirty Gold Skulltulas.
Once the Gold Skulltulas are defeated, the curse upon the man will be lifted, and he will express his thanks to Link by giving him the Mask of Truth.
Trivia
- The Swamp Spider House is similar to the House of Skulltula from Ocarina of Time.
- The only normal Deku Scrub (like those found inside the Deku Tree in Ocarina of Time) is found in a room inside the house.
