The Candle is an item found only in The Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link to date. In both games the Candle is used to light dark areas.

Appearances

The Legend of Zelda

In The Legend of Zelda, the Candle can also be used as a weapon along with its primary use of lighting dark rooms and burning bushes. By pressing the item button when the Candle is equipped, Link shoots a flame two spaces in front of him. The flame deals the same damage as the Wooden Sword and can burn bushes which reveal secrets.

The Blue Candle, the first one obtained in the game, can be bought for 60 Rupees from a certain Item Shop, and can only be used once until Link moves to a different screen. The Red Candle, an upgraded version of the Blue Candle, can be used infinitely on one screen but one can only shoot two flames at a time. If Link has the Book of Magic, the Magical Rod shoots a beam that turns into fire[2] when it hits an enemy or a wall, essentially making the Candles useless.

The Adventure of Link

In The Adventure of Link, the Candle is just used to light up dark caves, allowing Link to safely move through them. It is the Dungeon item of Parapa Palace.
