John Boyne accidentally includes Zelda video game monsters in novel

John Boyne, the award-winning author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, has acknowledged that a cursory Google led to him accidentally including monsters from the popular video game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in his new novel. Boyne's A Traveller at the Gates of Wisdom opens in AD1 and ends 2,000 years later, following a narrator and his family. This is a thread, but it's worth it I promise. On Reddit today, user u/NoNoNo_OhOhOh posted a page from acclaimed Irish novelist John Boyne's latest book, 'The Traveller At the Gates of Wisdom. As the writer Dana Schwartz pointed out on Twitter, "if those ingredients look weird to you, it is because they are straight of out of the Zelda game Breath of the Wild".
