The Spinner can be found in the [[Arbiter's Grounds]] after defeating [[Death Sword]]. As the main dungeon item, it must be used in order to progress through the second half of the dungeon. It is also necessary to defeat the dungeon's boss, [[Stallord]].

It is an ancient item created long ago. [[Link]] rides the Spinner much like a skateboard, except he can only ride on it for a few seconds until the Spinner loses its momentum. The device can also be attached to railings located on specific walls that allow Link to travel along them. It is essential for fully navigating the Arbiter's Grounds as it allows Link to drift across quicksand without sinking. The Spinner also features a spin attack that Link can use to hurt nearby enemies. Additionally, if Link uses the Spinner before falling or jumping off a high cliff, he will be slowed down considerably and take no damage upon landing. He can also control his descent as he falls.
 
   
  +
In the [[Cave of Ordeals]], Stalhounds can be seen wandering around in some rooms, sometimes accompanied by other enemies. However, landing on the floor where the Stalhounds are wandering causes a much larger pack of them to emerge from the ground.
It is also used to unlock the [[Mirror of Twilight]] from within the [[Mirror Chamber]] after exiting to the roof of the dungeon. After Link leaves the Arbiter's Grounds, the Spinner is used in the [[City in the Sky]] and [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]]. In those dungeons, Link finds more mechanisms which must be operated using the Spinner. It can also be used to safely move over tiles which otherwise fall away soon after being stepped upon. The Spinner can also be used to obtain [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]] and [[Treasure Chest]]s hidden in [[Hyrule Field#Twilight Princess|Hyrule Field]].

In {{HW}}, the Spinner appears as a weapon for Link. The Spinner class of weapons is unlocked by using the Link or [[Toon Link]] [[amiibo]], which awards the '''Ancient Spinner''', designed to match its appearance in ''Twilight Princess''. The upgraded Spinners can be obtained as random weapon rewards, and include the '''Enhanced Spinner''', a more polished, mechanical version of the original, and the '''Triforce Spinner''', an extravagantly decorated Spinner covered with inlaid gold and [[Triforce]] designs. The Spinner is a lightning-elemental weapon that takes a short time to get up to speed, but can mow through a field of enemies easily.

Because the Spinner is used in the City in the Sky to manipulate and power the bridge mechanisms that connect the various floating buildings, it is theorized that the Spinner is perhaps an [[Oocca]] creation.

Template:Enemy Stalhounds are enemies in Twilight Princess.

Characteristics and Weaknesses

Stalhounds are skeletal dogs that emerge from the ground in various locations of Hyrule Field at night.[1][2] These creatures can be defeated with any conventional attacking weapon in Link's arsenal. However, it is easiest for Link to simply slash them with his Sword. They will generally appear in pairs.[3][4]

When Link must retrieve Ilia's memory, the Wooden Statue is stolen from Borville.[5][6] Link can use his wolf form to track down its scent to find Telma's cat, Louise. She admits that she took the statue, but that it was stolen by Stalhounds out in the field south of the Hyrule Castle Town.[1] It is here that Link must fight a horde of Stalhounds in order to rescue the stolen statue.

In the Cave of Ordeals, Stalhounds can be seen wandering around in some rooms, sometimes accompanied by other enemies. However, landing on the floor where the Stalhounds are wandering causes a much larger pack of them to emerge from the ground.

Trivia

  • Stalhounds may have been modelled after the extinct Entelodon family of pig-like omnivores, in particular the large lower teeth and head.
