Blue Candle



The Blue Candle is an item in The Legend of Zelda. It may be purchased from a number of the merchants who dwell in caves in different parts of Hyrule. Because it does inflict some minor damage on enemies, it can be considered a weapon.

The candle has two primary functions. One is to burn bushes in the overworld, which will often reveal hidden staircases. The other is to brighten dark rooms in the dungeons. However, the flame of the Blue Candle will expire if Link remains in the same room for too long, and thus necessitate multiple uses. In Level 7, Link can locate the Red Candle, which will then replace the Blue Candle in his inventory.
