— Breath of the Wild In-Game Description

Flint is a material found in Breath of the Wild and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

Appearances

Breath of the Wild

Flint 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.

Tools of the Trade

Speak with Isha near the entrance to Gerudo Town to unlock the Side Quest. Link will need to give Isha 10 pieces of Flint to complete the quest. Doing so gives Link the option to get the Ruby Circlet, Sapphire Circlet, or Topaz Earrings. Completing the quest will also open the Starlight Memories jewelry store.
