So, I've been thinking about this for a long time and decided to finally mention it...
In certain Zelda games, there have been moments when characters seemed to materialize out of nowhere. For example, Saria on the bridge when Link is exiting the Lost Woods, and the Happy Mask Salesman as Link is exiting Termina's clock tower. I've seen this happen with other characters as well...They're not there at all, but then suddenly appear.
The first time I ever noticed this was when I played Ocarina of Time, and then in Majora's Mask. However, I've also noticed this phenomenon in certain anime...
There's a scene in Howl's Moving Castle where Howl comes home at night and the dial on the door is black. The door opens but you can't see Howl right away. He then spontaneously materializes on the stairs.
My question is this; is there a word in English, Japanese, or any language at all for this kind of spontaneous materialization of a character, where they just appear out of nowhere? If there is, I'd like to know. It seems similar to some type of teleportation.
I'm sure a bunch of people have noticed this and can recall other Zelda characters, or non-Zelda characters who've done this.
Thoughts?
