A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide

The Lamp is the first item acquired in A Link to the Past. It is found right after waking up, in a Treasure Chest located in the southeast corner of Link's House. With the Lamp, Link can light torches and see in dark places. However, it uses up a small amount of Magic Power. If Link does not take the Lamp from the Treasure Chest in his house, he will instead find it in the Sewers of Hyrule Castle, or in Zelda's cell.

Four Swords Adventures

In Four Swords Adventures, the Lamp can be found on item podiums in various stages. It lights things on fire, including torches, grass, and wood.[1]

A Link Between Worlds

In A Link Between Worlds, the Lamp functions similarly to the Lamp in A Link to the Past. However, it does not actively utilize the Energy Gauge, making it infinitely usable. At first, it does half as much damage as the Captain's Sword. It can be upgraded into the Super Lamp by completing the advanced course of the Treacherous Tower. It becomes incredibly powerful, dealing eight times as much damage as before. As a result, the Super Lamp is a useful weapon for close-up encounters, though other items may still be more efficient to use.

Trivia

  • When merged into a wall in A Link Between Worlds, the Lamp is visible attached to Link's belt. It also continues to give off light around Link.
