In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', '''rings of light''' can be seen floating on the surface of the sea. Some appear constantly, while others are only visible at night. As [[The King of Red Lions]] approaches a ring, it will fade from view. Once [[Link]] is close to a ring of light, a soft sound can be heard, which will become stronger or weaker depending on how close you are to exact spot where the ring of light was. By using the [[Grappling Hook]] directly above the light ring, Link is able to reach under the waves and pull up a [[Treasure Chest]].

Rings of Light,[1][2][3] also known as Light Rings,[1][2][4] are recurring Objects in The Legend of Zelda series.

Characteristics

The Wind Waker

As their name implies, they are rings of multicolored light on the surface of the Great Sea that mark the location of sunken Treasure Chests. While on board the King of Red Lions, Link can use the Grappling Hook above the point of a Ring of Light in order to draw up the sunken chest that lies below. However, Rings of Light will disappear if Link moves within a certain distance of them, requiring that he gauge their exact location manually. They also release an audible sound as Link draws closer to them to aid in this process.

Rings of Light can lead to a number of different rewards, although the most common are Red and Purple Rupees. Rings of Light also appear after defeating certain enemies on the sea, such as Big Octos and Warships. There are certain varieties that only appear at night or during a full moon; the Light Ring Chart can be used to find their locations.

Special Rings of Light also appear on the sea after opening a Treasure Chart or Triforce Chart. To differentiate these from the others, a beacon of light is projected into the air from the center of the ring. These Rings of Light will also disappear at a greater distance than normal, requiring that Link use their respective charts in order to pinpoint their locations. Their rewards include Silver Rupees, Pieces of Heart, Special Charts, and Triforce Shards.

A large, golden Ring of Light appears before the Tower of the Gods, that serves to allow Link beneath the waves to visit the sunken kingdom of Hyrule. Link can only access it at first by reaching the top of the tower and defeating Gohdan, and later on by reassembling the Triforce of Courage.
