How did Zecora see Twilight's castle?

[ggg-2 3,553]

In the final few minutes of Twilight's Kingdom Part 2, as everypony was gathering and marveling at the new castle, i noticed Zecora in the crowd. But how could Zecora have seen it? Unlike everypony else in the crowd, who live right in town, Zecora doesn't, instead living in a shack deep in the Everfree Forest.

I mean, I believe she knows everything.... that's why she came. She always helped Twilight when she needed help.

I think ponies can sense a change in magic so she felt a huge surge of it and went to investigate I also wonder if she had her 'magic' stolen by tirek. If twilight failed then zecora to the rescue XD

How did she see it? With her eyes I guess.

Anyway, clearly everyone wasn't there because you just couldn't fit it in, however a large enough frame with that many characters in it pretty much implies the whole town was there, even if said characters weren't present. Because, you just couldn't do it.

Speaking of which, I don't think I saw her the entire episode. But either way, back to Original Poster's theory, she'd see it the next time she wanders into town I reckon. Massive castle structure isn't easy to miss y'know?

I agree with everyone up there.

 

If I remember correctly, her castle made quite the scene when it appeared, it didn't just quietly grow out of the ground and say in Fluttershy's voice " I am here- "

She could've even seen it from her shack- though that's pretty far fetched considering she's deep in the forest. So the chances that she was just in town are likely.

After the fight between Twilight and Tirek, I guess she was aware something was going on.

The castle is pretty damn big. I imagine she just saw it there.

Like @Banul said, the castle is quite enormous; nothing in Ponyville even comes close.

 

Not to mention that considering everything that happened it's possible that Zecora was in Ponyville after all the explosions & such were over with.

Well, the castle is quite large and near The Everfree Forest, so it's not hard to believe that she could have just seen it. Plus, Tirek and and Twilight Sparkle had their battle prior to its creation, so she probably heard them and traveled into town to see what was going on.

Maybe she was in the town at the time, who knows?

But Zecora really doesn't have magic because she isn't even a pony and has no horn, I would just like to think that she is very good at making potions

by that logic, Pegasi and Earth ponies don't have magic either, because no horn. =_=

I think the Everfree is on the other side of town.

Season 5 premiere cold open:

 

Opening shot: Twilight reading on the steps of Castle Twilight.

 

Zecora walks by, nonchalantly.  Stops, backs up.  Looks at Twi.  Looks up at the castle.  Back at Twi.  Narrows her eyes.

 

Zecora: "Was...uh...was that always there?"  (Points towards the castle.)

 

Twi: "...  ...eeyup."

 

Zecora narrows her eyes again.  Shrugs, keeps walking.  Roll opening sequence.
