Five rings that have explosive potential.

The wearer of this ring can create small explosives a few times per day. When activated, the bomb appears in the user's hand with a lit fuse. The explosive force is not great, but it is enough to cause real damage to a sensitive target.

Whimsical Ring: While wearing this ring, Link’s sword damage is generally lowered, but some of his strikes hit much harder than usual. Link can find this ring randomly throughout his journeys in Labrynna and Holodrum.

The simple stone is actually the last fragment of a long-dead star. The star was once the sun of the core solar system of a vast interstellar civilization. The greed and short-sightedness of the civilization’s leaders eventually led them to develop a weapon that could destroy entire solar systems, and that weapon was inevitably turned back at its creators.

Wisp Ring: This ring protects Link from the jinx curse of the wisps. Without the ring’s protection, Link becomes unable to draw his sword for a short time after being touched by a wisp. Link can find this ring randomly throughout his adventures in Labrynna and Holodrum.

This ring was intended to ensure that peace talks could happen between completely hostile parties. When wearing a ring such as this, any wound dealt to the wearer is dealt in even measure to the attacker. It also mirrors wounds dealt by the wearer onto the wearer.

Slayer’s Ring: Wearing this ring does nothing but remind Link of the many monsters he has slain in Labrynna and Holodrum. This ring is given to Link by Vasu after Link has slain 1,000 monsters.

The grand champion of this year’s melee will be awarded this finely wrought diamond ring emblazoned with the royal filigree. Second place is a hefty purse that, while being technically worth less than the first place ring, is much easier to spend as pawning the grand prize could offend the hosts. With all that in the background, the battle for second place has never been fiercer.

Masks save lives

Celebrate the coast guard’s birthday with a mask of resist disease.

This is a weak way for me to sneak in my push for everyone to wear masks to save lives and stop the spread of COVID.

Be excellent to everyone, wear a mask.
