Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Once Zelda takes an apple out of the basket to take a bite, it cuts to a close up of her face just before she takes a bite. When she does, her eyebrows turn a lighter color, her eyelids are further down, her mouth is open less wide, her fingers change position on the apple, and the leaf and stem change shape on the apple. (00:01:00)
Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: The basket on the back of Zelda's horse has no fruit hanging out of it or visible when seen from the side. But when Zelda reaches back to grab an apple out of it, a close up of the top shows both a banana and the leaves of a pine apple sticking up out of the top. Yet these are not visible in the previous shot. (00:00:55)
Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Once the episode starts, Zelda is shown riding towards the camera on a horse and she is complaining about Link being lazy and not going riding with her. After the episode's title fades away, it cuts to a close up of her. Suddenly, the basket on the back of the horse has the lid open. Also her hair is fuller and the mane on the horse becomes more wavy. (00:00:55)
Continuity mistake: After Zelda touches the first giant Tin Suit statue and it comes to life, she and Link quickly back away from it and then stand their guard. They are standing quite close together. It cuts to a reverse angle just before the Tin Suit kicks Link and they are suddenly further apart from each other. (00:07:45)
Continuity mistake: Trying to track down Ganon and King Harkinian, Link and Zelda enter the front area of Ganon's lair. There are 3 giant Tin Suit statues in the opening room. Link and Zelda walk between them and are a good distance from any of them. It cuts to a different angle as they draw near and suddenly they are much closer to the one on the left, Zelda now in arm's distance. (00:07:25)
Continuity mistake: In his lair, Ganon goes on a quick rant after King Harkinian says that Zelda and Link will rescue him. During his rant, for a couple of frames one of his tusks changes from white to the color of his skin, then back again. (00:06:35)
Continuity mistake: The Tin Suits kick the King into a circular room and close a metal door behind him. Then Ganon teleports into the room and the angle changes. When this happens, the door has vanished. The King is also suddenly further back from the center of the room between shots. (00:06:45)
Continuity mistake: After Ganon captures King Harkinian, he is seen in his lair gloating over his victory and holding his Unicorn Pegasus. The "Evil Jar" is behind him and the stand is bright orange. It cuts to a close up of Ganon with his horse and the leg of the Evil Jar is still visible, but suddenly changes to a dark brown. (00:06:00)
Continuity mistake: Falling to his doom, Link is plummeting face first towards the ground after Ganon zaps the bats that Link was holding onto. The shot just before Zelda saves him again shows him falling face first. But it changes to him hitting the wheelbarrow of hay and suddenly he is falling back first. (00:04:55)
Continuity mistake: Link first tries to rescue King Harkinian from Ganon in the beginning of the episode and takes down three of Ganon's bat minions right off with his sword lasers. Then three of the remaining four grab him by the arms. Between shots, the position of the one on the bottom right's hands changes position on Link's arm. Link also changes from looking right to looking left. (00:03:30)
Continuity mistake: Link and Zelda rush to her window after hearing the King scream and see Ganon flying in on his stolen unicorn Pegasus with seven of his minion bats accompanying him. Between shots, the formation the bats are flying in changes. (00:02:50)
Continuity mistake: After the King gives Link some flowers to help him get Zelda to kiss him, the King wishes him luck and slaps him on the back. This causes Link to lose his balance and fall to swing before he was ready. He shouts and holds out the flowers with his right arm as he falls. The next shot shows him swinging towards Zelda's window, but suddenly both hands are on the rope and the flowers have vanished. Then it cuts again to him swinging though the window and his right arm is extended again holding the flowers. (00:02:15)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Zelda puts the seed into the crack on the ground, the crack shortens between shots. (00:11:25)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When the dragon first attacks Zelda, the stairs she is on are purplish pink. Moments later when Link is on those same steps, they have turned yellow and tiled. And plant pots and a small stone wall appear on the steps. (00:09:40)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Ganon is sitting in his mobile throne which has a red back to it. It is visible when the bat lands on his shoulder. But when it cuts while the bat is giving his report, the back of the throne vanishes. (00:08:50)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Ganon summons a bat to go spy on the Triforce of Wisdom to see who guards it. Watch his finger nails. As he is holding the bat, his nails are long and sharp. But when the angle changes, his finger nails look short and normal. (00:08:15)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: At the Amateur Magicians Contest, the first shot of the walk where Zelda sits in her throne shows a wooden piece stretching down from a balcony above the door to the top of the door. There are also windows to the left and right of her with a plant in them. A couple minutes later when Link looks out the window of his tower to see the dragon attacking Zelda, the wooden piece and the windows have vanished. The bricks of the wall also become fewer but bigger. As well as Zelda's stairs become shorter. (00:07:20 - 00:09:25)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Ganon summons some skeletons to hold up his mobile throne so he can go to the Armature Magician's contest. As they appear, the floor is blue tile. But it cuts to a close up of their feet as their robes form and the ground has turned to pink tile. It changes angle again and suddenly it is a dark purplish blue, but with no tiles. (00:06:45)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After Zelda apologizes to Link for slapping him when she learns of the Moblin attack, one of the camera angles shows a chair in the room that has suddenly appeared. It appeared and disappeared a few times during the beginning of the fight. (00:04:50)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Zelda is apologizing to Link for slapping him after she learns of the Moblin attack, Link crosses his arms and looks angry. He has his belt with item pouch draped over his shoulder as he does. When he crosses his arm, his arm goes over the pouch hiding it from view and the belt completely vanishes. It then jump cuts to a close up and suddenly the belt is visible again and the pouch as well, now being across his arm. (00:04:40)
Chosen answer: It'll be to ensure that they're always facing directly away from each other, 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, meaning between the two of them they've pretty much got 360 degree coverage. Otherwise there's a chance they might end up at say 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock, leaving themselves exposed from another direction.
