Red Ring


 * Not to be confused with the Magic Ring of Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons.

The Red Ring is a recurring item in the, first appearing in The Legend of Zelda.

The Legend of Zelda
In The Legend of Zelda, the Red Ring is the most powerful defensive artifact, even more powerful than the Blue Ring. The Red Ring is found in Level 9. It cuts damage Link takes down to ¼ of what he takes in his original green tunic.

With this ring on, Link's tunic will be red. Wearing the Red Ring during the Ganon fight will cause Princess Zelda's dress to also appear red.

Oracle of Seasons
The Red Ring returns in Oracle of Seasons as one of the many collectible rings found within the game; however, its function is different. Instead of increasing Link's defense, it doubles his offensive power. It makes a lethal combination with the Master Sword, able to kill any enemy short of a boss in one spin attack, excluding mini-bosses, which require two. It will not make Link's tunic red like it did in the original Legend of Zelda.
