Why hate on the torch? It's not as useless as you might think. Certain enemies are weak to fire, guard break easily when on fire, and are found often in tombs and caves. The torch pulls its weight early game. It doesn't add much weight and switching to it isn't that annoying. You can use it in either hand.PSA for caves and catacombs and dark areas in general: buy a lantern and equip it on your pouch (the menu that appears when you hold down Y on the controller), and never have to fiddle with changing your left hand to the torch again.
Late game, dual/two handed or being a magic user are valid arguments against using the torch. The lamp exists for those dedicated to those types.
From even gave us a torch spear in this game, which I find pretty cool.
