The '''Spinner''' is a gear-shaped spinning-top item found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.
 
__NOTOC__
 
==Location==
 
The Spinner is the first of the items that debut in this game. Found in [[Arbiter's Grounds]], the fourth dungeon, this tool is guarded by ghostly entity [[Death Sword]]; it is an important weapon against the dungeon's boss, [[Stallord]].

[[File:Spinner.jpg|left|thumb|Link obtaining the Spinner]]
 
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 and allow Link to travel along the railing. It is essential for fully navigating the Arbiter's Grounds as it allows Link to drift across sand without sinking. The Spinner also features a spin attack that Link can initiate to hurt nearby enemies.
 
   
  +
Linkle fights using a pair of crossbows. She is a very athletic character, and is able to attack her enemies with fast kicks and quick reflexes.
The Spinner is useful to break the defenses of the boss, Stallord, first in its main body, and later on his head. It is also the principal item 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 rarely required, with the exception of the [[City in the Sky]]. Here Link finds some more mechanisms which must be operated using the Spinner, and it can also be used to safely move over the blue tiles which otherwise fall away soon after being stepped upon. The Spinner is also useful to find at least two [[Heart Container#Piece of Heart|Heart Pieces]] hidden in [[Hyrule Field]].
 
   
==Theory==
 
{{theory}}
 
Because the Spinner is solely 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. Such a claim would rightly connect the Arbiter's Grounds and the City in the Sky, as they both exploit the full capacity of the Spinner as a figment of dungeon navigation. In the Arbiter's Grounds, the Spinner helps that the ancient [[Sage]]s (who, like the Oocca, are linked to the [[Golden Goddesses|Goddesses]]) rest here to guard the Mirror of Twilight; that would maybe link the Oocca to the creation of the Mirror of Twilight. There are also rails connected to the eastern part of Hyrule Field (Wii version) which seems to be right under the City in the Sky.

*Prior to her announcement, her crossbow was hidden among stock art of other characters in the previous two trailers, hinting at her inclusion.
*If Link uses the Spinner before falling or jumping off a high cliff he'll be slowed down considerably and take no damage upon landing. He can also control his descent as he falls.

*The [[Majora's Mask (Boss)|final boss]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', during the last part of the battle, throws Link explosive tops that move and spin like the Spinner in ''Twilight Princess'' does.
