The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Zelda has an amateur magician grow a large plant for her to use as a sling shot. He is standing beside Link as it grows and then suddenly disappears between shots. There was not enough time for him to have walked or run away. (00:11:40)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Zelda has on two red earrings at the start when she's standing on the balcony in her gown. When Link whistles at her, scaring the bird away, she turns and looks up. It cuts to an over the shoulder view from her to Link and her earrings disappear. (00:01:45)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link and Zelda are battling the skeletons, each time a skeleton is blasted away, it dissolves into itself leaving a white silhouette for a split second before vanishing, like it’s vaporized. It does this for each and every one, except one. During the fight, Link blocks two skeleton attacks at the same time and flings them up into the air, and then blasts them with sword lasers. They are side by side in the air, and the first one is blasted and dissolves away the same way, but the second one, when hit with the laser, just instantly vanishes. No dissolve or slow fade. Just poof and gone, which is inconsistent with anything else we saw previously or after this. (00:12:55)

Continuity mistake: After Ganon is thrown from his skeleton drawn throne, he summons more of his skeleton minions through an underworld entrance cave that pops up from the ground in the middle of the road. Link hands Zelda the bone bow as it pops up and she looks back surprised at it. In this shot, the cave entrance is a perfect triangle shape, and there are no horn structures above the opening. Then it cuts to a closer view of the entrance as the Skeletons begin marching out. Now the underworld entrance has more curved shapes to it rather than strange lines making it triangle, and horn like structures appear above the opening. The rubble around the opening that came up from the road as it rose up also changes in shape. (00:12:35)

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)

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)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: While the plant is growing, Zelda ties it to a pink palette-like thing. In one shot, it is very close to some steps and in the shadow of the castle. But moments later, it is much further from the steps and is in the light. (00:11:40)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link fires sword lasers at the first two Moblins, to his right is the broken table, Zelda's painting, the window, and his bed. It cuts to the lasers zapping the Moblins, and then back to Link. The shot is at about the same angle as the previous shot, but now there is nothing beside Link but the wall and now the Triforce pedestal is behind him. (00:03:25)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As Link charges up his sword laser, the picture of Zelda is shown behind him leaning to the right. Then the next shot as he is turning around to shoot the Moblins, the picture is now leaning to the left. Also the table's legs are suddenly broken between shots. (00:03:25)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link whistles and calls down to Zelda, you can see the floor of the ledge she is on. The first part design has lines going towards the middle and several layering circles, and the center is just a circle. The part behind her just has lines going towards the center and looks like a pizza after being cut. Then the shot changes to a close up of her feet as she is backing up and you see the second design by her feet. There are now twice as many lines in the center. You can tell by the spacing between the lines between shots. The first shot, the spacing makes it look like there are only 4 lines. But the second shot shows 8. (00:01:55)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link is getting out of his bed, the shot from behind him shows the opposite wall. You can see there are no windows there. The only window that can be seen is the one between his mirror and the table. Link gets up and complains to his mirror, then walks to that same wall. Now there are suddenly windows there, and a flower hanging by one. (00:01:15)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link smacks the bomb back at Ganon and it follows him into the cave. As it is going towards the cave, the bomb is spinning. But when the shot changes to Ganon running through the door of the cave and the bomb follows him, it has stopped spinning. (00:14:00)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When surrounded by skeletons, Link and Zelda get back to back and Link straps his belt around them. In the first shot showing the skeletons advancing on them, neither Link nor Zelda is directly facing any of the enemies. Link is facing down on the screen towards some trees, and Zelda is facing up and to the left, towards some trees. The shot cuts to Ganon screaming "Get them!" and then cuts back to the skeletons, still in the same spot in their advance on the heroes, with no time to give them to move while strapped together. Now suddenly Link is facing directly at the skeletons towards the top right, and Zelda is directly at the ones on the bottom left. (00:12:50)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link rolls off the dragon and is by a pot of flowers. The flowers appear to be all white. A few shots later from another angle, and now the flowers are a mixture of colors, mostly white and purple. (00:09:55)
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.
