Game Informer’s Ultimate Super Fun List: Top Trees In Gaming

Have you ever wondered what the most popular trees are in games? No? Look it’s the holidays and we’re strapped for stories. Let’s just run with this and see what happens.

#1 Deku Tree – Why does the Deku tree outrank every other tree in gaming? Because it’s from The Legend of Zelda, and The Legend of Zelda is like the coolest thing ever. Haven’t you heard? Every Zelda-related article should rank number 1. That’s how journalism works. The Deku Tree also has a mustache. Double win.

#2 Teldrassil – The old world tree from World Of Warcraft is home to the Night Elves. Of course, the Night Elves suck because they are part of the Alliance, so we weren’t going to include Teldrassil. Then we learned that Night Elf idiots sometimes fell off trees and died, so this tree was moved up to number 2. (This isn’t in a Zelda game after all.)

#3 Sunwood or Sudowoodoo or Sunwoody – Whatever that tree thingy from Pokémon is called. This tree placed third because it’s a tree in a video game, so it qualified for the list.

…

It’s embarrassing. You see, we had planned to do this big elaborate story about the top trees in gaming, but it turns out that there really aren’t many gaming trees worth writing about. I know, we’re upset too. We had planned to create award stickers and all that.

It’s true, it was a bit of an error. Our mistake. Don’t bother scrolling down any further. It’s over. The caterer was already cancelled.

…

What? Is that a mistake? Are you making a mistake here? It’s over, we said.

Are you looking for more content related to the gaming tree? Are you crazy? There really aren’t that many cool gaming trees out there.

Seriously, that super happy tree from Yoshi’s Story and that tree from Kirby’s Dreamland that blows trash at you can go jump into a forest fire for all we care. You can check your emails or do something else. It would be much more entertaining than reading this article.

…

Okay, come on dude! What’s the point of being like this? Don’t scroll.

The page keeps moving, and we are now feeling the need for more content. We now have to find the fourth best gaming tree, so we…

#4 Diablo’s Skill Tree – What! You think that doesn’t count? It’s a tree. It’s in a game. We were pressed! We were forced to take action. Stop scrolling, it’s over.

…

Wow, we didn’t think you’d make it this far. This is something we didn’t know about people who love trees so much. Fine, we’ll give you one more piece of tree related content, but then we’re cutting you off. It can’t be healthy to think about trees this much.

Secondary Award: For the worst tree in gaming

Any tree that has fallen to block your path in a way where you can clearly see where you need to go, but that damn tree is in your way and you can’t jump over it even though it’s only like three feet high and your character should easily be able to jump over the thing, so instead you have to traipse through the forest for another 20 minutes before you emerge on the other side of the path. Don’t mess with that tree.

That’s it. That’s it. This is it. Now, go climb, draw or plant trees, tree-loving nuts.
