In {{ALttP}}, the Lantern is found inside a [[Treasure Chest]] either inside [[Link's House]] when he wakes up, or in [[Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)|Hyrule Castle]] if he does not open the chest in his house. [[Link]] can use the Lantern to light up [[Torch]]es. Using it consumes Magic Power. The Lantern radiates a small amount of light in dark rooms, even when not equipped, allowing Link to see a small distance in front of him before lighting Torches. The Lantern deals [[Weapon Strength|damage]] in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of this game.

In {{FSA}}, it is called Lamp. It is not a part of the [[Links]]' permanent inventory. The Lamp instead appears in various stages, whether it be a dark dungeon, or in the face of a torch puzzle. The Lamp is necessary to defeat the [[Big Poe (Boss)|Big Poe]] in both of its appearances.

In {{ALBW}}, the Lamp can be found inside a Treasure Chest underneath the [[Sanctuary (A Link Between Worlds)|Sanctuary]]. As long as Link has it equipped, it will dimly light a circular area around him. Enemies such as [[Ghini]]s disappear when in use. By pressing the button to which it is equipped, Link can swing the Lamp, which can be used to light torches, melt ice, or damage enemies.<ref>{{Cite|A little light makes it a little safer...right? You can also use it to scorch enemies!|Inventory|ALBW}}</ref> It can also instantly melt enemies made from ice.

By completing the advanced course of the [[Treacherous Tower]] in [[Lorule]] once, the [[Devilish Girl]] will replace Link's Lamp with the '''Super Lamp'''. This upgrade illuminates areas more brightly and deals eight times more damage than before.

In the {{ALttP|Ishinomori}}, Link finds a Lantern inside [[Hyrule Castle]] after he rescues [[Princess Zelda]] from her prison. He then uses it while passing through the [[Sewer Passageway]] to reach the nearby [[Sanctuary (A Link to the Past)|Sanctuary]].

===Philips CD-i Games===

In {{TFoE}} and {{TWoG}}, Lanterns are used to light dark areas for a brief period of time and require Lantern Oil in order to be used. Three types of Lanterns exist in these games.

The initial Lantern is received from [[Horgum]] in [[Toyku Lighthouse]] in {{TFoE|-}}, while in {{TWoG|-}}, it is found inside an abandoned house in [[Kobitan]]. This Lantern can be upgraded to the '''Magic Lantern''', which burns longer. In {{TFoE|-}}, the Magic Lantern is received from [[Odranoel]] after giving him the [[Items in The Faces of Evil#Ice Crystal|Ice Crystal]]. In {{TWoG|-}}, the Magic Lantern is given by [[Mayor Cravendish]] after freeing him from [[Tykogi Tower]].

A third upgrade of the Lantern also appears in both games, which does not use any Lantern Oil and makes invisible enemies visible in the games' final stages. In {{TFoE|-}}, the third Lantern is the '''Lantern of Vision''', and is received from [[Gwonam]] after finding his house in the [[Hermit Flat]]. In {{TWoG|-}}, it is the '''Fairy Lantern''', and is received from [[Myra]] in [[Nokani Forest]]. The Fairy Lantern also has the ability to "penetrate the dark around [[Ganon]]," which allows Zelda to get close to him with its light.
