He facilitates most the services associated with [[Magic Ring]]s, including appraisal and storage. His two pet snakes are used to transfer rings from one game to another via a "Fortune Link". His shop can be found around [[Horon Village]] in ''Seasons'', while [[Lynna City]] holds is residence in ''Ages''. Regardless, the shop looks almost identical in both games, both exterior and interior included. | ||

The first appraisal in each game is free, but every subsequent appraisal costs a few [[rupee]]s. If Link already possesses a ring identical to the one he just paid to be appraised, Vasu will offer to purchase it. It costs 20 rupees to appraise a new ring, but Link receives 30 rupees for rings he sells to Vasu. | ||
All appraised rings are automatically held by Vasu, as Link can only carry a few depending on the size of his [[Ring Box]]. Link can return to the Magic Jeweler's shop to exchange rings in his box for ones Vasu is holding, or vice versa. | All appraised rings are automatically held by Vasu, as Link can only carry a few depending on the size of his [[Ring Box]].

Two [[Game Boy Color | Two [[Game Boy Color]]s, not [[Game Boy Advance]]s, can be connected with a Game Link Cable. By connecting ''Oracle of Ages'' and ''Seasons'' in this manner, then talking to the blue snake of Vasu's shop simultaneously in both games, a Fortune Link can be performed. Fortune Links give both games a new Magic Ring to be appraised, but a Fortune Link will not work with the same two games multiple times in quick succession, on [[Game Boy Advance]]s, or with the same two games (two copies of ''Seasons'' or two copies of ''Ages''). No rings can be obtained exclusively through this method. | ||
