A Traveler at the Gates of Wisdom is the most recent historic book from Irish author John Boyne (The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas). Telling tales from across the breadth of human history, it handles a great deal of stuff that was real and actually occurred, as well as some things that has actually just taken place if youve played The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Yesterday, Reddit user NoNoNo_OhHoHo posted a shot of part of the book, found in an area that handles dressmaking:
Red lizalfos, an Octorok eyeball and Hylian shrooms? In a historic book?
As author Dana Schwartz explains in this Twitter thread, it looks like Boyne, when requiring some included information on how to color some material red for his book, went straight to Google and hit “active ingredients red color clothing”.

Whoops. I havent check out Boyles book myself, however if you have and discover any reference of the fall of the Persian Empire having anything to do with a giant mechanical camel or some seals that can swim in the sand, let us know.
