Bombproof Ring is a magical item to be worn on one's finger, usually with an insignia or jewel resembling a bomb. The wearer of this ring gains an extraordinary effect. For so long as it is worn, the wearer is mostly protected from the explosive power of Bomb-based treasures the wearer himself uses. The explosive damages everything else normally, but due to magical protection, the wearer only suffers less than half of the normal damage. If he took out a powerful explosive in the middle of a crowd and detonated it, for instance, it might be lethal to anyone around him, but he would only sustain nonlethal injuries. Generally, the wearer will always take some damage, and the damage increases with the strength of the explosive. A mere Snap Trap might only tickle, whereas a mighty Powder Keg would likely still be nearly lethal.
Notably, this ring does not protect from explosions which intentionally harm the wearer, such as those which erupt from a Bomb Mask or when using the Eruption technique.
Trivia
- An Outfitter can treat a Bombproof Ring as a material for the purpose of combining its effects with other materials or treasures into any item she can craft. When determining how many materials the Outfitter can craft into one item, treat this item as though it had a set cost of 20 rupees.
- The Bombproof Ring treasure canonically appears in the Zelda series, initially in Oracle of Ages. More information about the canonical version of this treasure can likely be found on Zelda Wiki.
