Candle (enemy)

Candles are explosive enemies in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, appearing in Mermaid's Cave in both time periods and in the Ancient Tomb. True to their name, they appear as walking candles. They are invulnerable to most of Link's weaponry and normally wander the room slowly, but when hit with an Ember Seed, they light and begin running around diagonally, bouncing off walls. As the flame gradually gets larger, they get faster, eventually blinking and exploding.
