Common Locations Hyrule Field | |
Properties |
Torches are a common Item that Link can use to carry Fire with him and spread that Fire to stationary Torches and other flammable objects such as grass, bushes, and wood. Torches can also be used as a Weapon, but they have a very low attack power of 2. After being ignited by contact with a Fire, Torches stay lit until Link puts the Torch away or it rains.[2] Torches are useful for navigating dark areas, such as the Thyphlo Ruins. Being made of wood, they will not attract Lightning during a Thunderstorm, and they do not conduct Electricity. They will float in Water if dropped.
After first exiting the Shrine of Resurrection and meeting the Old Man on the Great Plateau, Link can steal the Old Man's Torch. He will then ask Link what he intends to use it for.[5] If Link replies saying that he plans to use it as a Weapon, the Old Man will advise him to take his Woodcutter's Axe instead.[6] If Link tells him that he plans to use it to light Fires, the Old Man will tell him to be cautious.[7] If Link refuses to tell the Old Man what he plans to do with the Torch, he will tell him to do as he pleases and will let him be.[8]
Link can find Torches in the Lost Woods, which can aid him in navigating the area by lighting Torches and watching the direction the Fire blows with the wind. Torches are also useful for lighting all of the Blue Flame Pedestals around the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab and the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab with Blue Flame, as Link must travel long distances without the Fire burning out.
Torches belong to the Daily Use Goods equipment archetype, which consists of unconventional Weapons that Link can make use of.[9]

Tears of the Kingdom
Other Appearances
Cadence of Hyrule
Torches allow Cadence, Link, Yves, or Zelda to see in the dark, light up braziers, and burn stumps that may be blocking their path.[10] However, they have a limited use and go out over time, forcing the heroes to switch between different kinds of torches in order to light their way through caves and dungeons. They can be found in red Treasure Chests, dropped by slain enemies, or bought from a Shopkeeper for 10 Rupees. After a Game Over, Torches can also be found at the Fate's shop selling for 1 Diamond.
