==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}}.


==Uses==
==={{TP|-}}===
[[File:LanternALttP.png|left]]
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]].
The Lantern is used to light up dark places and dungeons, ignite [[torch]]es to solve puzzles, and burn shrubbery and grass to reveal pathways, or sometimes just [[Rupee]]s. The item took a back seat in some major console titles such as {{TWW}} and {{OoT}}, with a larger emphasis given to [[Fire Arrow]]s, but resurfaced in full 3D glory in {{TP}} to much success and usability. The lantern (or its equivalent: the [[Candle]]) has been included more often than not in the 2D iterations of the series.
{{Clear|left}}


==Appearances==
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.
===''A Link to the Past''===
[[File:Lantern ALttP.png|left]]
The Lantern is the first item [[Link]] will find during his quest in ''A Link to the Past''. Link can find it in a [[Treasure Chest|chest]] found either inside [[Link's House|his house]] when the adventure first begins or in [[Hyrule Castle]] if he doesn't open the chest in his house. Using the Lantern consumes [[Magic Meter|Magic Power]], so Link must use it sparingly.
{{Clear|left}}


===''Four Swords Adventures''===
In {{TPHD}}, the [[Ghost Lantern]] also appears. When equipped, it lights up if a [[Poe]] is in the area.
[[File:Lamp Sprite FSA.png|left]][[File:Lamp FSA.png|right|70px]]
Specifically called the '''Lamp''' in {{FSA}}, this item is not a part of Link's permanent inventory. The lamp instead appears whenever it is necessary, whether it be a dark dungeon, or in the face of a torch puzzle. The lamp also functions as a prevalent, lethal weapon against the [[Big Poe (Boss)|Big Poe]]. Link needs no consumable fuel to operate this lamp, as he does not carry it on his person.
{{Clear|left}}


===''The Minish Cap''===
==={{ALBW|-}}===
[[File:FlameLantern TMC.gif|left]][[File:FlameLantern.png|80px|right]]
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.
The '''Flame Lantern''' is a simple lantern received by Link in the [[Temple of Droplets]] in ''The Minish Cap''. The Flame Lantern lights up a moderate area around Link, and also is used to melt ice and light lamps. The Flame Lantern is essential in the battle against the dungeon's boss, the [[Big Octorok]]. Also, the Lantern will kill all types of [[Wizzrobe]] instantly - not just Ice ones - and it will reduce a [[Gibdo]] to a much easier [[Stalfos]].

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.
[[File:lantern.png|60px|right]]
Early during his quest in ''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]]. 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 annoying vermin at bay, preventing them from impeding his progress.


Unlike previous Zelda games, where lanterns used [[Magic Meter|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 [[Chuchu|Chuchus]], to fuel his lantern. Link can store extra fuel for his lantern in an [[Bottle|Empty Bottle]].
==={{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}}.


The lantern is necessary to burn a spider web blocking his path in the beginning of the game. It is also required to complete many [[Lantern Cavern]]s that are scattered around the Hyrulean landscape in ''Twilight Princess''.
==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.

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]].
The '''Lamp''' reappears in {{ALBW}}.  It can be found early in the game, specifically inside a chest underneath the [[Sanctuary]]. So long as Link has it equipped, it will dimly light a circular area around him.  Certain features and [[Ghini|some enemies]] will disappear in light, however, so having it equipped is not always beneficial.  By pressing the button to which this item is equipped, Link will shoot flames a very short distance in front of him, which can be used to light torches, melt ice, or damage enemies, among other effects.  Although most weapons are more practical in battle, the Lamp's fire can be useful for bypassing defenses which block the sword, or for instantly melting enemies made from ice.  The Lamp is also the only repeatedly-usable form of attack, aside from Link's sword or the optional [[Bug Net|Net]], which can be used to damage enemies without draining his energy gauge.
{{Noncanon|End}}


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

[[Poe]]s commonly carry lanterns around with them, sometimes carrying their souls in them. They also use these lanterns as weapons.

The Lantern,(TP | TFoE | HW | MNPTP)[1][2][3][4] also known as the Lamp,(ALttP | FSA | ALBW)[1] is a recurring Item in The Legend of Zelda series.[name references needed] Lanterns go unnamed in Tears of the Kingdom.

Location and Uses

A Link to the Past

In A Link to the Past, the Lantern is found inside a Treasure Chest either inside Link's House when he wakes up, or in Hyrule Castle if he does not open the chest in his house. Link can use the Lantern to light up Torches. 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 damage in the Game Boy Advance version of this game.

Four Swords Adventures

Four Swords Adventures Manual Descriptionhide ▲
Four Swords Adventures logo
Lamp
Light up dark areas just by carrying the lamp. Press the A Button to burn items in front of you.

In Four Swords Adventures, Lamps can be used to brighten dark areas, burn Objects, or light Torches.[5][6] They are not a part of the Links' permanent inventory. Lamps instead appear in various Stages, whether it be a dark dungeon, or in the face of a torch puzzle. A Lamp is necessary to defeat the Big Poe in both of its appearances.

The Minish Cap

Main article: Flame Lantern

The Lantern in The Minish Cap is called the Flame Lantern, and is obtained in the Temple of Droplets. It can be used to light up dark areas, light Torches, and melt Blocks of Ice.

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, 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 Mites 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 Caverns that are scattered around Hyrule.

Unlike previous 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 use yellow Chu Jelly obtained from yellow Chuchus. Link can store extra fuel for his Lantern in empty Bottles.

In Twilight Princess HD, the Ghost Lantern also appears. When equipped, it lights up if a Poe is in the area.

A Link Between Worlds

In A Link Between Worlds, 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 Ghinis 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.[7] 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.

Tears of the Kingdom

This section of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki by expanding it.

Lanterns are typically found in Shrines of Light where they are suspended by Ropes. If they fall to the ground, they will burst in an explosion of Fire, incinerating anything beneath it. They can be manipulated with Recall and Ultrahand but cannot be Fused.

Other Appearances

Non-Canon Information

In The Faces of Evil, Lanterns are used to light dark areas for a brief period of time and require Lamp Oil in order to be used. The Lantern is received from Horgum in Toyku Lighthouse.

This Lantern can be upgraded to the Magic Lantern, which burns longer. The Magic Lantern is received from Odranoel after giving him the Ice Crystal.

A second upgrade of the Lantern, the Lantern of Vision, does not use any Lamp Oil and makes invisible enemies visible in the final stages.[clarification needed] The Lantern of Vision is received from Gwonam after finding his house in the Hermit Flat.

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. Moblins in The Wind Waker 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 Four Swords Adventures.
