How to use flint in Breath of the Wild

zelda-breath-of-the-wild

So I haven't been able to find a way to use the flint other than laying it next to a pile of wood and hitting the flint with a sword. Is there a better way to light ? I would have thought it would be like cooking and there would be an action when you walk up to wood…

That's the intended way to use flint. I believe you must hit it with a metal weapon for it to generate a spark to light wood.
