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.

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.
