The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link puts the pillow over the Moblin's head that has the staff and jumps back. The Moblin with the sword runs into the other Moblin and they both fall over. Link then holds up his sword to change his zap laser and begins blasting the Moblins. The shot cuts back to those two Moblins lying down on the ground trying to get up. The staff, sword, and pillow have all vanished. (00:03:30)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The Moblin that was hit with the pillow is seen standing next to the door in one shot with a mouth full of feathers. He is standing with a slight hunch and his head is bent down slightly. The very next shot cuts to him spitting the feathers out, but he is already leaning back to inhale between the shots. (00:03:05)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link smacks one of the Moblins in the face with a pillow and it sends feathers flying all around. The shot then cuts, still having Link in the frame, and now there are no feathers in the air or on the ground next to him. (00:02:40)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link gets out of bed, you can see there is nothing on it but his sheets and pillow. But when Link throws the Moblin at the bed and hits it, suddenly Link's sword is on the bed where he was sleeping just moments before, and it gets launched. (00:01:20 - 00:02:30)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link sits up after he awakens. The shot from behind his back as he is sitting in his bed shows a table with a blue vase on it sitting next to the wall by his bed. It is out of his reach, even if he leaned. But then the shot changes as he is stretching and now the table is only just outside of arm's reach. Also the portrait of Zelda is closer and bigger. (00:01:15)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link and Zelda try to kiss after they defeat Ganon. Their faces get very close together when Spryte interrupts them. They both look at Spyte while their faces are close together. Next shot from a little distance, and suddenly Link and Zelda's faces are further apart. (00:14:45)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Zelda and Link sling shoot through the air to catch Ganon. They land in the road and Link's back is towards the side of the road as Zelda lands on him. Next shot, his back is going along the same direction as the road. They turned 90 degrees in an instant. (00:12:00)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Zelda plants a seed and the amateur magician uses a growth spell on it. Link is standing to his right. Next shot of them, Link is on his left. Then back on his right a few shots later. (00:11:40)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Ganon escapes with the Triforce of Wisdom and Link says "We'll never catch him now". As he says this, he raises his right fist into the air. Shot changes to Zelda grabbing a seed behind him and his fist is still in the air. She turns and bends down to plant the seed and the shot changes. Suddenly both Link's hands are behind his back. (00:11:20)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The bat tells Ganon that Link is guarding the Triforce. He then aims his hands at Zelda and the perspective switches to showing her through his hands as he uses it like a scope to zoom in on the lizard in her hands. His hands are up for this, but the very next shot, his hands are suddenly back down on his arm rests, and he then raises his left hand again to blast the lizard. (00:08:55)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: During the fight with the Moblins, the one with the staff breaks the vases on the table next to Link's bed. This also causes the painting of Zelda to fall and break. A few shots later, the vase and painting are back where they are supposed to be and perfectly fine. Throughout the fight, the painting keeps changing from fixed to broken, and even how much it's broken constantly. (00:03:10)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Other mistake: When Link and Zelda fight Ganon and the skeletons, 3 skeletons grab Zelda. Ganon throws a bomb at Link and Zelda. Link lifts Zelda and the skeletons are hit by the bomb. It explodes but only hurts them as they vanish, not fazing Zelda or Link what so ever despite being right above them. But a little bit later, Link bats a bomb at Ganon that is exactly the same as the previous bomb. This one explodes huge and destroys a cave. Two of the same bomb, no consistency of power at all. (00:13:20)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Audio problem: After Ganon makes off with the Triforce of Wisdom, Zelda plants a seed and has an amateur magician use a growth spell on it and make a sling shot. Link says "My kinda girl!" His mouth never moves at all while he says this. (00:11:40)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Spryte tries foolhardily to stop Ganon from taking the Triforce of Wisdom. She is on top of it as she confronts him. He then moves his hand to her and flicks her away. When he does this, she is suddenly down in front of the Triforce. (00:10:45)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: One of the amateur magicians accidentally explodes a tomato all over himself and Zelda. The amount of tomato juice on Zelda changes between shots. Moments later, the tomato juice is all gone. (00:07:40)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: While Ganon is disguising himself as an amateur magician, he makes a throne to sit in. The back of the throne is red and black and has horns, very noticeable. As Ganon begins conjuring skeletons to hold up the throne, his back is flush with the back of the chair. However, in one close up shot, the back of the throne is gone. (00:06:35)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Zelda knocks on the door and Link goes to it. The metal designs that resemble arrows on the door drastically change in size between shots, and change shape a little. (00:03:55)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The Moblin Link hit with the pillow and has feathers in his mouth is seen standing by the door. He spits out the feathers and draws his sword. Couple shots later, he is suddenly standing next to Link's bed, totally away from the door, and then begins charging. (00:03:15)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: One of the Moblins has a black spear, having a sharp black blade on one end, and a white skull at the other. But when he charges Link and fights him head on, suddenly the spear head is gone, as is the skull, making it just a black staff. (00:02:45)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Zelda walks into the room after the Moblin fight, the room is much messier than shown at any other point during or after the fight. (00:04:15)
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.
