Ocarina of Time is even better if you use a smartphone app

The writer says Nintendo’s Zelda Notes smartphone app has made Golden Skulltula hunting in the Ocarina of Time remake enjoyable, after they had previously ignored the collectibles. Its map gives clues to collectible locations and the conditions needed to reach them, helping players make progress without relying on a full walkthrough.

The app is free through the Nintendo Switch app and does not require a Switch Online subscription. It offers maps for child and adult Link, filters for different collectibles, and notes about requirements such as using the Scarecrow Song or a Cucco. The writer says it has also helped locate Pieces of Heart and that they have found more than 70 of the game’s 100 Golden Skulltulas.
