This article is about the item. For the enemy, see Kyandokyan. For an item titled "Candle" in Hyrule Warriors, see Red Candle.
Candles are recurring items in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2]
Location and uses
The Adventure of Link
In The Adventure of Link, the Candle can be found in the Parapa Palace[3] after defeating an Iron Knuckle. It lights up otherwise pitch-black caves and allows Link to see any enemies who may dwell within.[4] The Candle is not required to beat the game, but it is more difficult to navigate dark caves without it.
Spinoff appearances
Zelda's Adventure
In Zelda's Adventure, Candles are single-use items that can be purchased from several Merchants around Tolemac for 100 Rupees. They are used to light up dark rooms inside of dungeons. Candles have little purpose since there are only two dark rooms: the last part of the cave maze within the Shrine of Earth and in the Stalfos maze within the Shrine of Illusion.
