The four rings were given out to the four knights of Gwyn, so it's not something normally worn by dragon slayers.

Yes, all things point towards DS2 as being in the future, including the Old Dragonslayer being Ornstein. For all we know, Ornstein had the curse, and turned undead after we killed him, and like all undead was eventually drawn to Drangleic, where he maybe turned hollow. Or maybe Heide's Tower is actually Anor Londo, because the game says that Heide is "a name used to describe a long forgotten kingdom", and Ornstein was still guarding Anor Londo after he turned undead. It's anyone's guess for now, but the theories that pop up are interesting.
