A Seeking Your Roots." This fan, however, didn't have to go very far to find this plant in real life.

Reddit Words120 discovered a plant that looks strikingly similar to Nirnroot right in their own backyard. The resemblance is uncanny, with the real-life plant closely resembling Nirnroot in both size and color. The real-life plant appears to be some type of thistle.

Fans Are Re-Living The Plant Trauma

Nirnroot Has A Notorious History In Oblivion

Nirnroot is notorious in Oblivion for being a pretty annoying plant, for both its rarity and the faint, pulsating sound it makes when a player is close to one. In the game, players have to give Sinderion 100 Nirnroots to fully complete the "Seeking Your Roots" quest. There are a total of 306 Nirnroot plants to harvest across the game's large map.

On Reddit, fans are celebrating the humorous backyard find and are sharing their own in-game experiences with Nirnroot, with a lot of fans noting the plant's iconic noise. ForTheGloryOfRomee highlighted how tedious the game quest is, saying: "Kill it with fire before [he] requests 80 of them for a potion." Princess_Rosethorn commented on how they think about the sound of the plant from the game when looking at this photograph, writing: "I can hear this plant."

Even Almost 20 Years Later, Fans Are Still Having Fun

The Remaster Has Brought New Life To The Elder Scrolls

It's almost hard to believe that Oblivion is 19 years old, and it might be equally surprising that fans still love all the game's intact quirks and glitches all these years later. With the remaster bringing in new Elder Scrolls fans and creating a nostalgia tour de force for veterans, real-life discoveries that make fans think of a game that is special to many people are a joy to see.

While this real-life plant is common and is found in a lot of parts of the world, the fact that a simple plant can make fans think about the infamous sound of the Nirnroot is fun to see. With that sound likely comes a flood of memories, and The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has been a delightful walk down memory lane for so many people.
