The '''Red Ring''' makes a return in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' . [[Link]] can obtain the Red Ring after he kills the four golden enemies and then goes to the cave south of the [[Gnarled Root Dungeon]] after the season is changed to summer. The old man in the cave will give Link the Red Ring as a reward. An alternative to obtaining the Red Ring is by Gasha Tree, it is very unlikely for Link to obtain it this way though. The only way for Link to obtain the Red Ring in Oracle of Ages is by a Linked Game along with the ring secret code.

The Legend of Zelda

The Red Ring is an upgrade to the Blue Ring, and is one of two main items found in Level 9: Death Mountain, with the other being the Silver Arrow. The Red Ring has one use: it cuts down damage dealt to Link by enemies to a quarter compared to his original tolerance.[1] This is shown through a change in Link's tunic. The Red Ring changes his tunic to a brownish-reddish color, compared to the iconic green. This item is very helpful in the last dungeon, as enemies are abundant throughout it. In the Second Quest, the Red Ring is still found in the final dungeon of the game.

"Do you know about the power of the rings? Just now, an old man hidden beneath a statue in the forest found a red ring. You should get it by any means.... Hero, the Evil King is after the Magical Sword and Red Ring. You will not be able to obtain them if the Evil King finds them. Do not let the two pass to his hands. It'd be terrible if he has them!"

The Red Ring is available for only ten minutes during Week 4, between 25 and 35 past the hour, before Ganon takes it to prevent the hero from obtaining it. In MAP1, it is found by burning the left of a pair of bushes in a clearing, one screen north of Level 3. In MAP2, it is under the left of an Armos pair, one screen west of Level 3.

As in The Legend of Zelda, it turns the hero's tunic red, and redoubles their defence from the Blue Ring.
