If this doesn’t get your role playing thumbs twitching, nothing will. Jude Buffum’s evolutionary biology of Hyrule details 200 of ‘the most important’ creatures from The Legend of Zelda video game series. He’s even included a list of binomial Latin names for each of the species and notes that each forking branch indicates an extinct common ancestor of the species that follow.

The piece is titled Magna Arbor Vitae Deku (translated “The Great Deku Tree of Life”) and was offered as a VERY limited 15 print series at this years SUPER iam8bit in Los Angeles. Game on!

When not impressing people with his humbling humility, he can be found freelance writing, finding shiny objects on the internet, enjoying the company of much-appreciated friends and living out his nomadic nature.
