For cards, it’s Royal Road. For coins, it’s Bobo. For cups & balls, it’s Ammar.
Is there a similarly authoritative “standard work” or widely accepted “best place to begin” (book or DVD) for someone interested in seriously approaching the linking rings for the first time?

I'm not experienced with the rings, but there are methods and routines in Tarbell volumes 4, 6 & 7.
L&L has a linking ring DVD in their World's Greatest Magic series. It contains contributions from J McBride, D Harlan, D Fleshman, A Colombini, A Schneider and Dai Vernon. For a wonderful routine, check out Whit Haydn's routine. It is a wonderful comedy routine with oversized rings If there is a definitive source for the Linking rings, maybe someone will comment. John

I don't own this product, but it seems to be highly recommended by others. This could be the definitive work on the linking rings.
http://www.leventmagic.com/ I however do own the L & L WGM series on the linking rings and have found it to be very useful as a good "jumping off" point. Mark

The Levent DVD set is EXCELLENT! There is likely no other single source that covers so many of the standards of linking rings. Levent covers everything from Jack Miller to Dai Vernon and so many others. He also demonstrates more clearly than I've ever seen anyone else do. He color-codes the rings to make them easier to track throughout each routine, which can be a real brain saver. I highly recommend it.

There is a standard LR routine that comes with all the sets of 8 LR's. Even the defunct company Adam's Magic included the routine.
For some reason he more expensive and high quality rings sold, do not come with this standard LR routine. Even though it is not an eight ring routine, Dai Vernon's was the standard routine to learn. Today, there are so many LR routines, probably over a hundred, it would be best to become familiar with all of them. Then use this as a means to design your own routine. Yes, I and those serious about performing the LR's, bought all the routines, usually in book form. If you have the Tarbell Course, then start there, ther is some to get you started. |

Rings in your Fingers by Dariel Fitzkee, is quite comprehensive, but was probably written for a more experienced magician.

I'll also recommend Pop Haydn's Linking Ring routine... the video download is available for a great price on his website and he teaches you his incredibly commercial 4-ring routine. If you don't want to do a comedy 4-ring routine, you will still learn some very good counts and moves that will serve you well with other ring routines. 2
There's also ring routines with smaller rings... the Ninja Rings, the Massado Rings, and Martin Lewis's McAbee Rings. And then the Linking Finger Ring routines... |

I recently purchased Pete Biro's book -- full of ring routines, history, personalities, etc. I've just started scratching the surface of the routines collected there, and I think I'll be busy for a very, very, very long time.
