Red Ring


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

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

The Legend of Zelda
In, 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.

When this ring is in possession, Link's tunic will be red. Wearing the Red Ring will also cause the Merchants' clothing and Princess Zelda's dress to appear red.

Oracle of Seasons
The Red Ring returns in 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 The Legend of Zelda.

Hyrule Warriors
In, the Red Ring is Wizzro's second level Ring, and the 8-Bit Red Ring is Midna's star level Shackle.

Throughout the game's Story Mode, Wizzro uses the Red Ring form of his weapon. His Ring is a cursed artifact from which he manifests; it sucks the souls from its wearers, which are combined within the ring to become Wizzro.
