Flints are recurring Items in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2][3]
Location and Uses
Breath of the Wild
Flint can be found after breaking Ore Deposits, Luminous Stone Deposits, and Rare Ore Deposits. Striking pieces of Flint with metal Weapons cause the former to ignite.[1] This can be used to create Campfires by dropping a piece near some Wood before striking it.[1] It can be used to relight Campfires as well, including those under Cooking Pots. The Kochi Dye Shop also accepts Flint as an ingredient for Black Dye.
The Champions' Weapons, if broken, can be reforged by special craftsmen, with Flint as a requirement.
- If Link ever breaks the Ceremonial Trident, he can have Dento at the Hammerhead recreate it for him in exchange for five Flints and a Zora Spear.[4][5]
- If Link ever breaks the Lightscale Trident, Dento will make another one in exchange for a Zora Spear, five Flints, and a Diamond.[6][7]
- If Link ever breaks the Scimitar of the Seven, Buliara in the Royal Palace will require one Diamond, five Flints, and a Gerudo Scimitar to make a new one.[8]
- If Link ever breaks the Daybreaker, Buliara requires a Diamond, five Flints, and a Gerudo Shield to remake it.[9]
- If Link ever breaks the Boulder Breaker, Rohan in Goron City will make a new one in exchange for a Cobble Crusher, a Diamond, and five pieces of Flint.[10][11]

Tears of the Kingdom
Flint can be obtained in the same way as in Breath of the Wild. However, it is now revealed (via the side quest Cash In On Ripened Flint) that there is a delicacy known as ripened flint that is indistinguishable from normal flint, until Gomo the Goron gourmand eats it.
