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)

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)

Revealing mistake: All the Moblins are shown to have one of their bottom teeth sticking up out of their mouth longer than the others on the bottom of their mouth. And in all of them the long tooth is on the right side of their mouth. When one charges Link, you see it's reflection in Link's sword, yet despite it being a reflection, the long tooth is still on the right side of the Moblin's mouth. (00:02:45)

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)

Revealing mistake: Link ducks a blow from the Moblin’s staff that breaks the vase on the table next to him. The shock knocks the picture of Zelda off the wall that falls and shatters when it hits the table. Some of the debris fall off the side, but then inexplicably just hovers in the air. A small part of the picture frame hovering in the air on the left of the screen. You can tell this is just the animation of the breaking picture was not finished, as part of the debris also flies up above it and just freezes in mid air. (00:03:00)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Revealing mistake: In rage, Ganon kills the Moblins for their failure and then teleports to his throne. He then begins talking to himself about how if he wants something done right, he has to do it himself. As his mouth moves, part of the rim of his hat won't hold its color, continually blinking from the hat's blue color, to Ganon's skin color. (00:05:50)

Revealing mistake: During Ganon's rant at the Moblins for failing in their attack, one angle shows two of the Moblins from behind in the Evil Jar. The one on the right is moving up and down, and his ears pass right through the glass of the jar. (00:05:25)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Other mistake: Spryte gives Zelda a robe after Link whistles at her. As she puts it on, her long hair is down her back. The robe just passes right through it and her hair is now on the outside of the robe without her pulling it up. (00:02:00)

Trivia: In almost every other incarnation of the Legend of Zelda, Link is left handed using his sword in that one, (except the Wii version of Twilight Princes where everything is reversed). But in this TV show, he is right handed.

Chosen answer: Because they were technically the same show. The 65 episodes of Super Mario Brothers Super Show contained 52 episodes of Super Mario and 13 episodes of The Legend of Zelda.
