How do I attack Skulltulas sitting on their webs?

Question

I can't seem to figure out how to attack the Skulltulas who are sitting on their webs. I tried various different directions of sword slashes with no effect (on the enemy - it usually ended with me losing hearts as they bounced and hit me).

What do I do to kill them? At some point, I would really like to get past the first dungeon! I am looking for the exact type of sword slash or weapon I need to use.

Answer

Skulltulas will appear in several different ways. Some just drop down the ceiling, others are hanging from a string, while some have full blown spider webs created to block your path. Link can knock down skulltulas by breaking the string or spider web utilizing the beetle.

Once a skulltula is on the ground, Link can then use an upward slash to knock the Skulltula on its back, revealing its weak spot. Link can then use a fatal blow to kill it in one hit.

If you are before the beetle stage, you can't get past these webbed Skulltulas, so hit the two vines along the far wall and swing across. Kill the Skulltula that is now facing its back towards you, stand on the bridge and look left - there's a switch in a small alcove in the wall, hit it. This will further raise the water level.
