Location and Uses

A Link to the Past

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 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

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.[6][7] 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 Braziers, 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.[8] 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 Chus. 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.[9] 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.

Echoes of Wisdom

Condé is in possession of a Lantern, which he uses to guide Princess Zelda and Tri through Hebra Mountain's Blizzard during the Main Quest "Rift on Holy Mount Lanayru". Afterward, the Lantern can be seen on a table inside Condé's House, where he leaves it.

Trivia

  • Lanterns appear in The Wind Waker, but only as a light source that hangs from the ceiling in the Forsaken Fortress and inside various Submarines and Caves scattered around the Great Sea. 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.
