How to Spin

Press R to Spin

Key	Function
R	Spin

Pressing the R button will unleash Zelda in a spinning motion. It does not deal damage to enemies, as spinning is mostly used to cut grass and parry enemy projectiles.

What Does Spinning Do?

Cut Through Grass

As mentioned, spinning is generally used to clear grass within Zelda's vicinity. Cutting grass can reveal some loot such as Rupees and Hearts, encouraging players to further explore their surroundings.

Equip Fairy Equipment to Increase Fairy Spawn Rate in Grass

Equipping the Fairy Flower outfit and Fairy Fragrance accessory will increase your chances of finding Fairies when cutting grass. Fairies can be used to recover hearts and even revive Zelda.

How to Get More Fairies

Parry Enemy Projectiles

While spinning cannot inflict damage on enemies, it can be used to parry enemy projectiles. Time your spins just as you're about to get hit by a projectile to successfully parry it.

Recover From Fire Quickly

If you catch on fire, spinning rapidly will extinguish the flames much faster. This is especially useful in hot areas and against fire-type enemies.

Useful in Mango Rush

Mango Rush is a minigame where the player has to harvest mangoes as fast as they can within a certain time limit. Echoes can be used to harvest mangoes, but spinning will get the job done faster. Equip the Dancing Outfit to increase your spin area and widen your harvesting coverage.
