by

In The Wind Waker game, certain foes don specific trinkets or adornments that Link can snatch using his Grappling Hook. While these adversaries usually relinquish their Spoils upon being defeated, it’s more likely you’ll grab them by grappling the enemy beforehand as well.

In The Wind Waker, you might have spotted that Moblins, the large boar-like adversaries, sport a Skull Necklace. These necklaces can be obtained from these foes or found in other locations as rewards. This guide will help you locate both Skull Necklaces and Moblins within The Wind Waker, and provide information on what to do with the Skull Necklaces once acquired.

How To Get Skull Necklaces In Zelda: The Wind Waker

In “The Wind Waker”, you can acquire Skull Necklaces in two different ways: either by defeating Moblin enemies and receiving them as loot, or by discovering them hidden inside chests scattered throughout the game’s world.

  • Moblins are the torch-carrying, spear-wielding pig-like enemies that you encounter for the first time in the Forsaken Fortress. These enemies re-appear in multiple locations, and each has a chance to drop a Skull Necklace. You can farm Skull Necklaces from the encounter in Hyrule Castle after unfreezing time.
  • Rarely, you can find Skull Necklaces inside of treasure chests. Look on the enemy-filled watchtower platforms as you sail the Great Ocean, which usually reward a chest with somewhat random rewards after you defeat everyone on the platform.

When you come across a Moblin, grab your Grapple Gun and target it at the adversary initially. If you score a hit, you’ll snatch an item from their inventory. In this case, if you strike a Moblin with your Grapple Gun, there’s a good chance they’ll drop a Skull Necklace as long as they have one equipped on them.
