==Location and Uses==
==={{ALttP|-}}===
{{Manual|ALttP|Lantern|This is the first item you are likely to find in your adventure. The lantern lights the torches in the dungeons and brightens the dungeon rooms. It consumes Magic Power to light the torches, and they go out after a time.}}
In {{ALttP}}, the Lantern is found inside a [[Treasure Chest]] either inside [[Link's House]] when he wakes up, or in [[Hyrule Castle (Dungeon)|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.
 
==={{FSA|-}}===
{{Manual|FSA|Lamp|Light up dark areas just by carrying the lamp. Press the A Button to burn items in front of you.}}
In {{FSA}}, {{Plural|FSA|Lamp}} can be used to brighten dark areas, burn {{Plural|FSA|Object|link}}, or light {{Plural|FSA|Torch|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|You got a {{Color|FSA Green|lamp}}! On a dark and lonely night, press the {{Color|FSA Green|A Button}} for a gentle light.|Game Screen|FSA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|If you get chilly, press the {{Color|FSA Green|A Button}} to burn whatever's in front of you.|Game Screen|FSA}}</ref> They are not a part of the [[Links]]' permanent inventory. {{Plural|FSA|Lamp}} instead appear in various {{Plural|FSA|Stage|link}}, whether it be a dark dungeon, or in the face of a torch puzzle. A Lamp is necessary to defeat the {{Term|FSA|Big Poe (Boss)|link}} in both of its appearances.
 
==={{TMC|-}}===
{{Main|Flame Lantern}}
The {{Term|TMC|Lantern}} in {{TMC}} is called the {{Term|TMC|Flame Lantern}}, and is obtained in the {{Term|TMC|Temple of Droplets|link}}. It can be used to light up dark areas, light {{Plural|TMC|Torchlight|link}}, and melt {{Plural|TMC|Block|link}} of {{Term|TMC|Ice|link}}.
 
==={{TP|-}}===
In {{TP}}, Link can obtain the Lantern from [[Coro]] in [[Faron Woods]]. Coro gives him the Lantern as part of a business plan to boost sales of his main product: [[Lantern Oil]]. Unlike previous incarnations, the Lantern can be hung from Link's belt while lit, allowing the hero full use of his hands while still providing him a source of light. If Link brandishes the Lantern while there are [[Poison Mite]]s nearby, the flame will keep the vermin at bay, preventing them from impeding his progress. The Lantern is necessary to burn spider webs blocking Link's path. It is also required to complete many [[Lantern Cavern]]s that are scattered around [[Hyrule]].
 
Unlike previous games, where Lanterns used Magic Power to fuel themselves, the Lantern in {{TP|-}} is fueled by Lantern Oil, which can be purchased at various [[shop]]s or found in dungeons. Link can also use yellow [[Chu Jelly]] obtained from yellow [[Chuchu]]s. Link can store extra fuel for his Lantern in empty [[Bottle]]s.
 
In {{TPHD}}, the [[Ghost Lantern]] also appears. When equipped, it lights up if a [[Poe]] is in the area.
 
==={{ALBW|-}}===
In {{ALBW}}, the Lamp can be found inside a Treasure Chest underneath the [[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.
 
[[File:ALBW Super Lamp Icon.png|right|40px]]
By completing the advanced course of the [[Treacherous Tower]] in [[Lorule]] once, the [[Devilish Girl]] will replace Link's Lamp with the {{Term|ALBW|Super Lamp|link}}. This upgrade illuminates areas more brightly and deals eight times more damage than before.
 
==={{TotK|-}}===
{{Stub|TotK}}
{{Plural|TotK|Lantern}} are typically found in {{Plural|TotK|Shrine of Light|link}} where they are suspended by {{Plural|TotK|Rope (Object)|link}}. If they fall to the ground, they will burst in an explosion of {{Term|TotK|Fire|link}}, incinerating anything beneath it. They can be manipulated with {{Term|TotK|Recall|link}} and {{Term|TotK|Ultrahand|link}} but cannot be {{Term|TotK|Fuse|link|display=Fused}}.
 
==Other Appearances==
==={{AST|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
In {{AST}}, [[Aginah]] gives the [[Hero of Light]] the [[Big Bag]], which contains the Lantern alongside other items. The Lantern can be used to light up torches. Using it consumes Magic Power.

The '''Lantern''' has had various different incarnations in its history, with its first muse in the SNES title ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|Link to the Past]]''.  The Lantern's main uses include bringing light to dark places and igniting torches to solve puzzles.  The item took a back seat in the major console titles, with a larger emphasis taken on [[Fire Arrow]]s, used to create light or do damage to enemies.  The Lantern finally debuted in full 3D glory in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. The lantern (or an [[Candle|equivalent item]]) has been included more often than not in the 2D iterations of the series.
==={{HW|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
In {{HW}}, the Lantern appears as an [[Item Card]] in [[Adventure Mode]] in the Twilight Map. It is used to lights torches, revealing enemies in that square.

==''A Link to the Past''==
==={{MNPTP|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
[[File:MNPTP Lantern Sprite.png|left|50px]]
The twelfth puzzle in the ''Picross'' series and the first puzzle in the ''Mega Picross'' series depict a {{Term|MNPTP|Lantern}}.
{{Noncanon|End}}


[[File:Lantern Sprite LttP.gif|left]] The Lantern is likely the first item [[Link]] will find during his quest in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|Link to the Past]]'', as it located in a chest inside Link's house when the adventure first begins. The lantern is used to light torches in the dungeons, bringing light to the dark labyrinths. It can also be used to burn bushes, revealing what might lie beneath the shrubbery. Using the Lantern consumes [[Magic Power]], so Link must use it sparingly if his magic reserves are running low.
==Trivia==
[[category:Items]]
*Lanterns appear in {{TWW}}, but only as a light source that hangs from the ceiling in the [[Forsaken Fortress]] and inside various [[Submarine]]s and {{Plural|TWWHD|Cave|link}} scattered around the [[Great Sea]]. Whenever Link enters an area where it is too dark to see, he will be surrounded by a small circle of light allowing him to view his surroundings properly.
*Some enemies also carry Lanterns, such as Poes, which carry their souls in them. [[Moblin]]s in {{TWW|-}} can also carry Lanterns with them. If they spot Link, they will throw it at him as an incendiary weapon. [[Jalhalla]] also uses a Lantern, as does the Big Poe boss in {{FSA|-}}.


==''Four Swords Adventures''==
==Nomenclature==
Instead of "Lantern", this item is specifically called the '''Lamp''' in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. This item is not a part of Link's permanent inventory. The lamp appears in stages which would require the use of it for completion.  As in previous and following titles, the lamp is primarily used as a light source within a small radius of Link. It can also be used to set fires to torches, grass, wooden stumps, and some enemies.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= The lamp creates a small glow around the Link who wields it, allowing him to see in the dark places of the world. It can also spit fire, although it has a very limited range.| book= The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, The Official Nintendo Player's Guide| publisher= Nintendo of America| page = 6|}}</ref> The lamp also is a potent weapon against [[Jalhalla]]. Link needs no consumable fuel to operate this lamp.

==''The Minish Cap''==
==Gallery==
[[File:FlameLantern_TMC.gif|left]]  The '''Flame Lantern''' is a simple lantern received by Link in the [[Temple of Droplets]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. The Flame Lantern lights up a moderate area around Link. It is also used to melt ice and light lamps. The Flame Lantern is essential in the battle against the dungeon's boss, the [[Big Octorok]].

==''Twilight Princess''==
==See Also==
[[File:lantern.png|100px|right]] Early during his quest in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Link can obtain a lantern from [[Coro]] in [[Faron Woods]].  The man gives Link the lantern as part of a business plan to boost sales of his main product: [[Lantern Oil]].  The lantern's purpose remains virtually unchanged from previous incarnations, as it is still mainly used as a light source and to ignite torches as part of puzzles.  However, the lantern can now be hung from Link's belt while lit, allowing the hero full use of his hands, while still providing him a source of light.  If Link brandishes the lantern while there are [[Poison Mite]]s nearby, the flame will keep the annoying vermin at bay, preventing them from impeding his progress.
* [[Flame Lantern]]
* [[Ghost Lantern]]


Unlike previous Zelda games, where lanterns used [[magic power]] to fuel themselves, the lantern in ''Twilight Princess'' is fueled by lantern oil, which can be purchased at various shops or found in dungeons.  Link can also substitute yellow [[Chu Jelly]], obtained from yellow [[Chu]]s, to fuel his lantern.  Link can store extra fuel for his lantern in an [[Bottle|Empty Bottle]].
