Flint is an item which first appears in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It can be found by Link under rocks, by breaking Ore Deposits or hitting and defeating Talus and Stone Pebblits. One spawns near a burnt out campfire in a cave in the Great Plateau while another spawns at Serenne Stable in the Hyrule Field region.
Link can use it once to start a Campfire or by striking it with a metal weapon while next to wood or burnt-out campfire though "Guardian" series and "Ancient" weapons can also generate sparks by hitting Flint despite being non-metallic and energy based. Link can also use it to light a unlit Cooking Pot. It is also required by Great Fairies to upgrade Link's armor specifically head accessories which includes the Amber Earrings, Diamond Circlet, Opal Earrings, Ruby Circlet, Sapphire Circlet, and Topaz Earrings.
Flint returns as an item in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
