This is your complete guide to every Magic Ring available in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. Rings must be found, appraised by Vasu in Lynna City, and equipped to grant their special effects. Some rings are found in fixed locations, while others are found randomly. Many can only be obtained in a Linked Game.
Note on “Randomly Found” Rings: When a ring is described as “found randomly,” it can be obtained from various sources within Labrynna, including planting and harvesting Gasha Nuts, bumping into Maple the Witch, some treasure chests, or a Fortune Link.
Note on Linked Games: Many rare rings are only available in a Linked Game of Oracle of Ages. This requires a password from a completed Oracle of Seasons game. These rings are often rewards for telling a “Secret” to a character in Labrynna.
