Red Candle

The Red Candle is found in Level 7 of The Legend of Zelda. Its function is exactly like that of the Blue Candle; it burns bushes to reveal hidden staircases and illuminates darkened rooms in dungeons. The difference is that the flame produced by the Blue Candle will expire after a period of time, while the flame produced by the Red Candle will continue to illuminate the room in which Link is standing for as long as he remains in the room. (If he leaves the room and comes back, he must use the candle again.)

The original LoZ is the only game in the series where two different types of candle are available. In the later games, he uses a single kind of candle or another source of light, such as a lantern.
