Lantern Oil also known as Lamp Oil is a substance used as fuel for the Lantern (or Lamp) in certain games of the Legend of Zelda series.
Link: The Faces of Evil
The Lamp Oil makes its debut in Link: The Faces of Evil for the Phillips CD-i. The salesman Morshu sells it in Goronu, proudly proclaiming, "Lamp Oil, Rope, Bombs! You want it? It's yours, my friend, as long as you have enough Rupees!"
Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon
Like it's predecessor, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon also features the Lamp Oil, where it is sold by the unnamed shopkeeper.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The Lantern Oil can be used to fuel the Lantern in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, allowing Link to navigate dark areas. He can store Lantern Oil in either a bottle or pour it into the Lantern and stow it away. If Link is equipped with the Lantern, it slowly uses up the Lantern Oil. Yellow Chu Jelly has the same effect as Lantern Oil.
In most cases, Link can obtain Lantern Oil by purchasing refills at shops, including Sera's Sundries, Goron Shop, Trill's Shop, and Oocca Shop for 20 rupees. During the night, it is also sold at the Goron Shop of Kakariko Village for the same price. At first, Coro offers Link a bottle of oil for 100 rupees, and he subsequently offers refills for 20 rupees, allowing Link to choose either his lantern or an empty bottle if he has one. In Hyrule Castle Town, there is a young Goron selling Lantern Oil at a slightly higher price of 30 rupees. Unlike other shops, the Goron only refills bottles but and not the Lantern itself.
Lantern Oil is most often required for subterranean areas, such as caves, but are also used in some dungeons, such as Arbiter's Grounds, which has large tubs filled with Lantern Oil.
