Magic Rings
Magic Rings that you collect throughout the game can be very useful, though there are some useless ones, and of course, ones that are just for having fun with. Before you can start collecting Magic Rings you need to talk to Vasu the Jeweller in Horon Village; he will give you a Ring Box in which you can carry one ring. Later on, you can find upgraded boxes that will let you carry three and five rings.

When you first find a ring, it is useless until you go back to Vasu and get it appraised. Once you have done this, the ring will be in your ring list.  From there you can put it into your Ring Box. Once you have done this, you can choose to wear the ring if you like.

Note: The rings that are listed as "Random" in the "How to Acquire" field can be found by using one of these three methods:
  • Bumping into Maple and collecting the rings she drops.
  • Planting a Gasha Seed, then it will be inside the Gasha Nut on the grown tree.
  • Win it in the Chest Game.

Note 2: Some rings can only be obtained in Oracle of Seasons, and some can only be obtained in Oracle of Ages; these rings are on both lists, for the sake of convenience.
