Places to Find Flint in Breath of the Wild

Flint can be dropped by any breakable ore deposits all over the world. All the Luminous stone deposits, the regular ore deposits, and the rare ore deposits can drop flint. There are thousands of these located all over the world in Breath of the Wild, but there are a couple of spots where these deposits are in large patches.

• Goron City
• The East coast of the Hateno region
• The crater near the Rito village
• Southern Mine
• Abandoned North Mine
• Any rocky locations

Players can also use their Sheikah sensor camera to find these deposits. Players will have to have upgraded the Slate with Purah in Hateno's Ancient Tech Lab to have Sensor + and the camera. First, take a photo of each of the different kinds of deposits, then select them in the Sheikah Sensor + menu. This will notify the player whenever the selected ore deposit is nearby.

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