Spinner
Template:Item The Spinner is a gear-shaped spinning-top item in Twilight Princess.
Location and Uses
The Spinner can be found in the Arbiter's Grounds after defeating Death Sword. As the main dungeon item, it most be used in order to progress through the second half of the dungeon. It is also necessary to deafeat 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.
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. 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 Pieces of Heart and Treasure Chests hidden in Hyrule Field.

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.
