Hey,
I saw in the rumors sections that you guys are still wondering about the Paladin Ring. Now I was told by Nintendo Power many many years ago that the Paladin Ring works the same way as the Paladin Shield, just wear the Ring for a bunch of battles, probably the same 255, and it will turn into the Paladin Ring. However, now you have sparked my interest, and I think, when I get the chance, I will test it out. For any of you who don't know where to get the Cursed Ring in the first place, go to the coloseum and bet either the Cursed Shield or the Paladin Shield.
