This happened exactly one time in the 200 hours I’ve played. Not that I use Dazzlefruit all that often. Maybe this is super common, but I haven’t heard anyone else mention it. I think it’s a cute little Easter egg they added, like how skydiving at night sometimes makes Star Fragments appear right behind you.
I’m guessing that’s what Nintendo wants us to think, but I bet he wasn’t actually “there” until I threw the fruit. But who knows. Maybe just before a Yiga member appears in that flash of light, he’s actually there and invisible. But I always thought they teleported in, and weren’t already standing there invisible just before they appear.
I posted this in hopes other people share their experiences with this happening. Like, when I first caught a star fragment in mid air, I thought I got super, super lucky, until it happened again, and then 4 more times. 😄
I recently learned that a Dazzlefruit will stun a Frox. That make them really useful. Originally, I only used them to slow down the annoying Lizalfos.
I think you’re exactly right, but what a fun illusion. Now I gotta start tossing them at normal enemies more to see this, I only ever use one on a korok spear for stal-blins
