Where to find Flint in Breath of the Wild

Flint can be dropped by any breakable ore deposit anywhere in the world. All Lightstone Deposits, Regular Ore Deposits, and Rare Ore Deposits can drop Flint. There are thousands of them all over the world in Breath of the Wild, but there are a few places where these deposits are in large patches.

• goron city
• The east coast of the Hateno region
• The crater near the village of Rito
• South mine
• Abandoned North Mine
• All rocky places

Players can also use their Sheikah Sensor Cam to find these deposits. Players will need to have upgraded the Slate with Purah in Hateno’s Ancient Tech Lab to have Sensor+ and the Camera. First, take a picture of each of the different types of deposits, then select them from the Sheikah Sensor+ menu. This will notify the player whenever the selected ore deposit is nearby.

Another great way to find flint is to search for a Stone Talus mini boss. These giant stone monsters have an ore deposit on their backs, which is their weak spot. The Talus will drop Flint and Gems when Link attacks it. There are several Stone Talus in the world of Hyrule.
