Others allow infinite fast travel with no penalty. Some games have restrictions on the amount of fast traveling that can be performed, generally by requiring the use of a purchasable item each time, like a tent or magical talisman. The player is immediately transported from one location to another, sometimes with an appropriate amount of in-game time passing in between, as though they had traveled straight to their destination.
Fast travel is usually performed from an in-game menu upon accessing either a map of the overworld or an object such as a vehicle or save point.
