Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride

The Torch is a plot item that lights up a dark floor in Uptaten Towers. Because it's treated as a key plot item in this game, it can't be sold or thrown away.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past

Though Torches are not used in the game as items, one is needed during a puzzle in the Shrine of Mysteries to light 9 braziers up with the right combination of red and blue flames. This puzzle, though, is only present in the Sony PlayStation version.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

Though Torches are not used in the game as items, they are shown to be held by the characters while in a cavern during gameplay or cutscenes.
