The Candle is an item found only in The Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link to date. In both games the Candle is used to light dark areas.
Appearances
The Legend of Zelda
In The Legend of Zelda, the Candle can also be used as a weapon along with its primary use of lighting dark rooms and burning bushes. By pressing the item button when the Candle is equipped, Link will shoot a flame two spaces in front of him. The flame deals the same damage as the Wooden Sword and can burn bushes which reveal secrets.
The Blue Candle, the first one obtained in the game, can be bought for 60 Rupees from a certain Item Shop, and can only be used once until Link moves to a different screen. The Red Candle, an upgraded version of the Blue Candle, can be used infinitely on one screen but one can only shoot two flames at a time. If Link has the Book of Magic, the Magical Rod will shoot a beam that turns into fire when it hits an enemy or a wall, essentially making the Red Candle useless.
The Adventure of Link
In The Adventure of Link, the Candle is just used to light up dark caves, allowing Link to safely move through caves. It is the Dungeon item of Parapa Palace.
