Ganon's evil has darkened many areas of Gamelon. Unless you find a lamp, you'll spend much of your quest wandering in the blackness. Once you have a lamp, you'll need a good supply of oil to keep it burning. At five rubies for three portions, lamp oil is cheap. Some of the natives talk of a magic lantern that burns without oil, but no one seems to know where to find it." (The Wand of Gamelon manual, pg. 5) - ↑ "Lamp oil, rope, bombs! You want it?
