Torch (Object)

Torches are objects found in nearly every game in the Zelda Series, often found within caves or dungeons. They have a variety of uses, from simply illuminating the surrounding area, to unlocking doors, causing Treasure Chests to appear, and solving other puzzles.

Functions
Torches are mostly used in puzzles. They can be lit by using a fire source such as a burning Deku Stick, a Fire Arrow, the Fire Rod, Din's Fire, or the Lamp. Sometimes they can only be lit by pressing a switch or clearing a room of enemies. In some dark areas, Link can light a torch to light up the room.

Torches can also appear as traps shooting fireballs at Link, similar to Medusas. They are usually invulnerable to any form of attack. Although in some of them can be deactivated by hitting a nearby switch, or defeating all the enemies in the room.
