The Spiked Roller is a recurring enemy/trap in the Legend of Zelda series. The Spiked Roller was first introduced in A Link to the Past.
Appearances
A Link to The Past
Link encounters the Spiked Roller in Turtle Rock, the seventh Dark World dungeon, where it is only seen in the original game. It is orange colored. In the GBA version of A Link to the Past, the Spiked Rollers appear in the Palace of the Four Sword. These Spiked Rollers are green instead of the typical orange, but there is no other distinctions between the Spiked Rollers in Turtle Rock and the Spiked Rollers in the Palace of the Four Sword. However, only one Spiked Roller appears in the Palace of the Four Sword which is moving above water while Wall Turrets are shooting out Balls. In order for Link to avoid this Spiked Roller, he should dive underwater, which is conviently a new feature placed into the game.
The Spiked Rollers appear in many different sizes and also move in different directions. It moves along a predetermined path at a predetermined speed which can help Link dodge/avoid it. Link cannot defeat the Spiked Rollers due to it being an obstacle for him.
Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening, only two Spike Rollers are encountered in the game. Link encounters these two Spiked Rollers while trying to defeat Rolling Bones in Tail Cave and Turtle Rock. Rolling Bones will push the Spiked Roller towards Link. He must use the Roc's Feather to jump over it and attack Rolling Bones. Once Rolling Bones is defeated, the Spiked Roller will disappear. However, in Turtle Rock, the Rolling Bones/Spiked Roller will return later.

Oracle of Seasons
The Spiked Roller makes its third 2D appearance in Oracle of Seasons. 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 in Link's Awakening. It is one of the few enemies that are exclusive to Oracle of Seasons and does not appear in Oracle of Ages. Furthermore, the Spiked Rollers in Oracle of Seasons are the first in the series to appear over water in which Link has to avoid it by diving underwater. Also, it is the first and only Spiked Roller to roll over/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, as stated above, so he wouldn't get hurt by it.
