We've all done a quick Google search to check basic facts,porno izlemek haram but many of us forget to actually check what we've found.
When you're a novelist, this speedy searching can be the difference between reality and fiction — and that's exactly what happened to Irish novelist John Boyne, who accidentally included details for a dye recipe from an unlikely source: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Reddit user u/NoNoNo_OhHoHo posted an image showing a page from Boyne's latest book, A Traveller at the Gates of Wisdom, and underlined one particular section featuring a dye recipe. In the book, a character's dressmaking process is described, which includes some ingredients you might only find in one place, which is not accessible in the real world, where the novel is set.
The dyes that I used in my dressmaking were composed from various ingredients, depending on the colour required, but almost all required nightshade, sapphire, keese wing, the leaves of the silent princess plant, Octorok eyeball, swift violet, thistle and hightail lizard. In addition, for the red I has used for Abrila's dress, I employed spicy pepper, the tail of the red lizalfos and four Hylian shrooms.
Four Hylian shrooms, eh? An Octorok eyeball? So, where are all these ingredients supposedly for dye from? Yep, they're all found in the kingdom of Hyrule, and appear in Breath of the Wild, all fictional creature parts and plants that Link throws in cooking pots scattered throughout the game to dye clothes and armor among other things — it's truly a soothing moment in the game every time.

We tried the same Google search, and saw a similar result from U.S. Gamer. It's not clear whether or not Boyne looked at the same preview, but it definitely explains the inclusion of all those swift violets, red lizalfos tails, and Hylian shrooms in a dye recipe supposedly from the real world.

Hours later, the novelist himself, Boyne, responded to Schwartz and was actually a really good sport about it. "I actually think it's quite funny and you're totally right. I don't remember but I must have just googled it," he wrote, before adding, "Someone remind me to add Zelda to the acknowledgments page when the paperback of TRAVELLER is published... oh lord..."

So folks, check your facts, lest you unknowingly add Hylian shrooms and Octorok eyeballs to your next novel.
