"Strike it with a metallic weapon to generate a spark. This portable fire starter breaks after one use, but it can create a long-lasting flame if you use it near firewood."
Flint is a material found in Breath of the Wild. They can be obtained by mining various Ore Deposits found across Hyrule, but they are more common in caves and by cliff sides. Flint is also occasionally dropped while Link is fighting a Stone Talus or Stone Pebblit.
Flint can be used to start a campfire if Link also has some Wood handy. After dropping Wood and Flint on the ground, Link can strike the flint with a metal weapon to create a fire. This cannot be done while it is raining. Link can also start a fire where there is a Cooking Pot nearby, by dropping some Flint and striking it with a metallic weapon.
Upgrades
Flint is a common item used in upgrades of many of the Armor pieces found within the game. Link will need Flint to upgrade the Amber Earrings, Topaz Earrings, Opal Earrings, Diamond Circlet, Ruby Circlet, and Sapphire Circlet. For the various level upgrades of all these pieces of armor, Link will also need the gem that corresponds with armor.
This material is also required for some Side-Quests in the game, such as Tools of the Trade.
