-While [[Warp Zones]] are optional for most [[Game Worlds]], those consisting of [[Levels]] more often have them since [[Movement]] between them is typically done through [[Quick Travel]]. Making use of [[Warp Zones]] instead of activating [[Quick Travel]] and [[Ultra-Powerful Events]] is typically done so one can handle issues such as collecting [[Loot]] or doing [[Character Development]]. It should be noted that if movement through [[Levels]] are purely a [[One-Way Travel]] throughout a game instance is not probably not relevant for players to notice the presence of [[Warp Zones]] as game elements in their own right.

 The [[Movement]] in text-based games such as the [[Zork series]], [[DragonMud]], and [[Kingdoms]] are worth mentioning in relation to [[Warp Zones]]. Since the "rooms" players are located in when playing these games do not show the neighboring rooms, i.e. there is no generic overview of larger parts of the [[Game Worlds]] in these games, all travel can be said to be done through [[Warp Zones]]. Often this is not noticeable for players since they can have mental images of two-dimensional worlds that works, e.g. that by going north and then south one will return where one started. This does however not be true, and has been used in for example the [[Zork series]] to require [[Puzzle Solving]] as part of [[Game World Navigation]]. The same applied for all [[:Category:Tabletop Roleplaying Games|Tabletop Roleplaying Games]] but these seldom require [[Puzzle Solving]] for navigation (an exception to this can be found in the module ''B7 Rahasia''<ref name="rahasia"/> for the basic edition of [[Dungeons & Dragons]]).

+''Links between physically non-adjacent locations in game world to make them spatial neighbors.''
 Game worlds sometimes want to represent spaces built on other premises than those of the mediums they are presented through. This can for example be to create spherical worlds represented on two-dimensional maps, or magical or futuristic portals that directly connect two parts of a game world that are located far away from each other.

 The two basic choices of [[Warp Zones|Warp Zone]] location is inside the [[Game Worlds]] or in direct connection to a border or edge of them.

-Where [[Warp Zones]] lead can of course be anywhere but there are a couple of typically reasons for the specific choices regarding this. One is to make it easy for players to move to specific [[Quests]] or [[Safe Havens]] (e.g. the [[Fallout series]] or the [[Dragon Age series]]) while another is to make the games have a different typology than the medium it is presented in (e.g. [[Risk]], [[Asteroids]], and the [[Civilization (video game) series|Civilization series]]). [[Minecraft]] makes use of [[Warp Zones]] to move between the ''ordinary'' world and the ''Nether'' which otherwise is not accessible, showing the [[Warp Zones]] can be used to connect several distinct worlds within the same [[Game Worlds|Game World]]. A final reason for placement of [[Warp Zones]] is to move players to the next wanted position for a [[Narration Structures|Narration Structure]].

-Due to [[Diegetic Consistency]], [[Warp Zones]] are often paired up so that one can move first through one and then another to return back where on started. Diegetic reasons for [[One-Way Travel]] can be found, but this modulation is most commonly done due to advance [[Narration Structures]] and in these cases the [[Narration Structures]] can provide the motivation as well (the teleporter pairs found in [[Team Fortress 2]] is an exception to this). [[Warp Zones]] can be used to create [[Quick Returns]] so that players do not have to travel back the same way they came after completing a goal, and for these uses [[One-Way Travel]] can also be applicable, or at least that the [[Warp Zones]] only become activated after the goals are finished.

 [[Warp Zones]] are defined as being related to spatial distances, but just like real world theories on wormholes<ref name="wormholes"/> they can have a relation to time travel. The time travelling possible in [[Day of the Tentacle]], [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]], and [[Zork III]] and [[Zork Grand Inquiestor]] in the [[Zork series]] can all be discussed in terms of [[Warp Zones]] and many of the design choices remain constant independently if the [[Warp Zones]] related to time or space.

 [[Risk]], [[Pandemic]], the [[Europa Universalis series]], the [[Civilization (video game) series|Civilization series]] all make use of [[Warp Zones]] to present a spherical world on a 2-dimensional space. This is done through [[Warp Zones]] that connect together the two vertical edges. This is typically not noticeable for players of games originating as computer-based games, but for [[:Category:Board Games|Board Games]] such as [[Risk]] and [[Pandemic]] it is of course noticeable since the board itself does not wrap around to become a cylinder.
