Glowing Rings are Objects in Breath of the Wild.[1] They are exclusive to The Champions' Ballad DLC Pack.

Location and Uses

Glowing Rings appear during the "EX Champion Daruk's Song", "EX Champion Mipha's Song", "EX Champion Revali's Song", and "EX Champion Urbosa's Song" Main Quests. They are referred to in the Unfinished Song that Kass sings, where they are part of the Divine Beast Tamer's Trials that the Champions undertook 100 years ago.[2][3][4][5] Glowing Rings appear in two forms. One is stationary, requiring Link to solve a puzzle in order to reach them. The second type appears during races, where Link will have a limited time to reach them before they disappear. When Link solves these puzzles or completes these races, an Ancient Shrine will appear.

Two of the tasks during "EX Champion Daruk's Song" involve Glowing Rings. On top of Death Mountain, Link will find the first in a series of Glowing Rings that he must follow by both gliding with his Paraglider or climbing. When he reaches the final Ring, Sharo Lun Shrine will emerge from the ground. The second task occurs at Darb Pond, where Link finds the Goron Blood Brothers preparing to train where Daruk used to.[6] They point out the Glowing Ring on top of the Pond to Link, explaining it is their target.[1] Link can reach this Ring by pushing the rocks in the Lava with metal boxes. Once he touches it, Rinu Honika Shrine will emerge from the ground.

An additional two tasks from "EX Champion Mipha's Song" make use of Glowing Rings. For the first task, Link will find Muzu and Tottika overlooking the Lanayru Sea. Muzu recounts a phrase from Mipha's notes that describes one of the tasks she undertook during her Divine Beast Tamer's Trial.[7] At sunrise, a Glowing Ring will appear in the Water between Ankel Island and Tingel Island. Passing through it will cause Kee Dafunia Shrine to emerge from the Water. The next task starts at Mikau Lake, where Link will find a series of Glowing Rings leading up the Waterfall all the way to Ploymus Mountain. When Link Swims through the final Ring, Mah Eliya Shrine will rise from the ground.

"EX Champion Revali's Song" has one task that includes Glowing Rings. Near Hebra Peak, he will find the beginning of a trail of Glowing Rings that he must Shield Surf through. The Rings lead down into the Pikida Stonegrove. Once Link surfs through the final Glowing Ring, Kiah Toza Shrine will emerge from the snow.

Finally, one task during "EX Champion Urbosa's Song" involves Glowing Rings. A series of Glowing Rings will appear in the West Barrens. Link must use a Sand Seal to pass through all of the Rings. He can rent one from the Sand-Seal Rental Shop Southeast Booth, which are trained to be faster and wait if Link leaves them.[8] Alternatively, Essa will appear outside of Gerudo Town during this Main Quest, where she is attempting to tame wild Sand Seals.[9] Link can take one of her Sand Seals, but they are not trained like the ones in Town.[10] When Link passes through the final Glowing Ring, Takama Shiri Shrine will rise from the sand.

Trivia

  • The Sheikah text found on most Glowing Rings reads "9876543210."[11] However, the Glowing Rings at Darb Pond and in the Lanayru Sea instead read "0123456789."[12]
