The Spiked Rollers' game model in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' is identical to their ''Ocarina of Time'' counterpart, like most enemies in ''Majora's Mask''. However, the mechanics of most of the Spiked Rollers are different then the Spiked Rollers seen in the series. These don't always bounce back and forth at the same speed, but do move in patterns that Link might have to judge in order to get past it safely.

Seen in [[Beneath the Well]] and [[Stone Tower Temple]], these Spiked Rollers roll to either each wall or roll from the ground to the ceiling. One Spiked Roller seen in Stone Tower Temple will roll like its 2D appearances. | ||

These enemies have a similar appearance and behavior to its predecessor from ''Link's Awakening'', but the color of the Spiked Rollers are blue instead of the greyish color seen previously. It is one of the few enemies that are exclusive to ''Oracle of Seasons'' and does not appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]''. The Spiked Rollers are the first in the series to appear over water in which Link has to avoid it by diving underwater and is the first and only Spiked Roller to roll over or on lava. | ||
Link first encounters the Spiked Roller in the [[Dancing Dragon Dungeon]], the third dungeon in ''Oracle of Seasons''. Later, these uncommon enemies appear in the last three dungeons which are the [[Ancient Ruins]], [[Explorer's Crypt]], and the [[Sword & Shield Maze]]. In order for Link to avoid the Spiked Rollers, he could use the Roc's Feather to jump over it like in ''Link's Awakening''. When the Spiked Rollers are above water, Link could dive underwater, so he does not get hurt by it. | |||

The Spiked Roller | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'', the Spiked Roller makes another return to the series. It appears once in the [[House of Gales]] and the [[Swamp Palace (A Link Between Worlds)|Swamp Palace]] and appears twice in [[Turtle Rock (A Link Between Worlds)|Turtle Rock]] and a [[Treasure Hunter Cave]] in the [[Swamp Ruins]]. While they attain their characteristics from previous games like being indestructible, the Spiked Roller's appearance is similar to the ones in ''A Link to the Past''. However, they can be briefly frozen by the [[Ice Rod]] in which Link won't be hurt until the Spiked Roller is unfrozen. | ||
Link first encounters the Spiked Roller in the House of Gales when he comes up onto the second floor. He can dodge it and explore the rest of the dungeon by using the [[Tornado Rod]] to boost himself into the air as the Spiked Roller is coming towards him and, by timing it so that the trap passes Link while he is in the air, head south to the rest of the House of Gales. | |||
In the Swamp Palace, Link can find a Spiked Roller on the first basement floor that guards the [[Treasure Chest]] containing the [[Blue Mail]]. Unlike in the House of Gales, it is rolling above water. Link can get on the small platforms on the sides of the room and use the Tornado Rod to get pass the Spiked Roller like before or he can dive underwater and swim under the Spiked Roller. Similarly, after he has raised the water once in the Swamp Ruins, Link has to dive underwater and swim under the two Spiked Rollers. Once he raises the water level again, the Spiked Rollers are submerged in water and do not hurt Link now. | |||
After Link has opened the Boss Door on the first floor in Turtle Rock, he can find two tiny Spiked Rollers that roll horizontally across the grate. Unlike previous moments where he needed to dive underwater or use the Tornado Rod, he can just run across the grate while avoiding the Spiked Rollers, or he can freeze the traps and then walk across the grate for an easier time getting across. | |||
