'''Torches''' are objects found in nearly every game in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' Series]], often found within [[cave]]s or [[dungeon]]s. They have a variety of uses, from simply illuminating the surrounding area, to unlocking doors, causing treasure chests to appear and solving other puzzles.

Torches are used in many puzzles in the series. Sometimes they must be lit using a [[switch]], or by clearing the room of enemies, or simply lit directly by using fire (e.g burning [[Deku Stick]], [[Fire Arrow]], [[Spells of Ocarina of Time#Din's Fire|Din's Fire]], [[Lamp]], etc.) Sometimes, many torches must be lit simultaneously for something to happen. Torches are often seen in towns, but these usually serve no purpose, except that they light the area. In some dark areas, Link can light a torch to light up the room. In {{MM}}, there are golden colored torches which cannot be lit by Fire Arrows, Deku Sticks, or any other use of direct fire. Instead, they are lit when a certain action has been completed by [[Link]]. This can lead to bar [[Lock|locked doors]] opening, [[Treasure Chest|chests]] appearing, etc.

Torches can also appear as obstacles that shoot fireballs at Link, not too dissimilar from [[Fire Eye]]s. They are usually invulnerable to any form of attack, but in games such as {{PH}}, some of them can be deactivated by hitting a nearby switch, or defeating all the other enemies in the room. After this is done, they act the same as any other torch.

Torches are mostly used in puzzles. They can be lit by using a fire source such as a burning Deku Stick, a Fire Arrow, the Fire Rod, Din's Fire, or the Lamp. Sometimes they can only be lit by pressing a switch or clearing a room of enemies. In some dark areas, Link can light a torch to light up the room.

Torches can also appear as traps shooting fireballs at Link, similar to Medusas. They are usually invulnerable to any form of attack. Although in Phantom Hourglass some of them can be deactivated by hitting a nearby switch, or defeating all the enemies in the room.
