'''Lanterns''', also known as '''Lamps''' in some games, are a recurring item in the [[The Legend of Zelda (series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''. Lanterns are very similar role to [[candle]]s and portable [[torch]]es in that they are fueled by a flame, which radiates a little bit of light to brighten [[Link]]'s surroundings in dark areas. The flame can also light unlit torches, burn small [[bush]]es, and melt ice. A Lantern's flame steadily decreases before burning out.

== History ==
===''The Legend of Zelda'' series===
==== ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' ====
In ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'', the Lamp is one of the first items that [[Link]] receives. It can be found inside a [[Treasure Chest]] in [[Link's House]], although if Link not collect the Lamp from the chest in his house, it can be found inside [[Hyrule Castle]], either in the castle's secret entrance or in [[Princess Zelda]]'s cell. Zelda does not allow Link to enter the [[Secret Passage]] without the Lamp.

The Lamp is powered by the [[Magic Meter]] when used to light torches, although it automatically lights up in dark areas without using any magic.

In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]], the Lamp's flame can damage enemies. It normally hits enemies twice, but it cannot burn them.

==== ''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures'' ====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', Lamps are found on various [[Item Podium]]s. When the [[Link]]s use Lamps to burn objects, [[Force Gem]]s appear. Lamps are the only items that cannot be upgraded to Level 2 by a [[Great Fairy]].

==== ''The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap'' ====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]'', there is a specific type of Lantern, the [[Flame Lantern]], which functions the same as regular ones.

==== ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'' ====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', [[Coro]] gives Link a Lantern when they first meet. It is fueled by [[Lantern Oil]]. Coro admits that he provided the Lantern for free as a sales tactic so that Link will always return to buy more Lantern Oil. The Lantern is essential to navigate dark areas such as [[Lantern Cavern]]s, burn cobwebs, ignite torches to open doors, summon certain Treasure Chests, or even disperse poisonous fog. It also keeps the [[Poison Mite]]s in [[Arbiter's Grounds]] from jumping on Link. If Link lights the Lantern in the [[Bomb Shop]], [[Barnes]] panics and turns on the sprinklers to douse the flames.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD]]'', there is a specific type of Lantern, the [[Ghost Lantern]], which lights up whenever a Poe is nearby.

==== ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds'' ====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'', the Lamp is found in a Treasure Chest in a hidden passage beneath the [[Sanctuary]]. It can later be replaced by the '''Super Lamp''' after clearing the advanced course of the [[Treacherous Tower]].

===CD-i games===
[[File:Lantern TFoE icon.png|thumb|left]]
The Lantern is seen in both ''[[Link: The Faces of Evil]]'' and ''[[Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]]''. In the former game, it is acquired by speaking to [[Horgum]] in [[Toyku Lighthouse]], while in the latter, it is found in a house in [[Kobitan]]. When used, the Lantern lights up dark rooms for around 20 seconds. It is fueled by [[Lantern Oil|Lamp Oil]], and consumes one refill per use. 

Both games have two upgrades for the Lantern. The first is the [[Magic Lantern]], which extends the light time from 20 seconds to 40. The second are the [[Lantern of Vision]] in ''Link: The Faces of Evil'' and the [[Fairy Lantern]] in ''Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon''. Both lanterns allow the player to see the final stage's flying enemies, and do not require Lamp Oil to function.

The [[Bago-Bago]], an enemy seen in both games, puts out the Lantern's light when it hits Link or Zelda. This happens even if the player has an upgraded Lantern.

=== ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' ===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there is a sticker of a Lantern, which depicts its artwork from ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''. It gives a +7 bonus to flame resistance, and can only be applied to [[Link]], [[Toon Link]], [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]], or [[Ganondorf]].

=== ''Hyrule Warriors''===
In ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', the Lantern appears as one of the [[Item Card]]s found on the Twilight Map from the ''[[Twilight Princess Pack]]'' DLC. Its Item Card can be used on the search screen to light torches to reveal hidden enemies.

The [[Big Poe's Lantern]] wielded by [[Big Poe]]s, [[Hylian Ghost]]s, and [[Spirit of the Caves]] appear as their Silver Material drops and [[Icy Big Poe's Talisman]] (Snowman-shaped lanterns) wielded by [[Icy Big Poe]] appear as their Silver Material drop.
