Cold Spells - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: As Ganon is making off with the Triforce of Wisdom, he looks back and sees Link and Zelda catching up to him on horseback. He yells "Blast! They're coming!" He then looks back forward. Watch closely, as he turns his head, the Triforce, which is neatly tucked under his arm, randomly jumps out of his hand for a couple frames, and then goes back. (00:25:30)

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Zelda's room was just full of water, up to her windows and everything covered. Her bed even floats in it and buckets are dumping water on top of it. When Link and Zelda get inside the room after it all floods down the stairs, nothing is wet at all. (00:23:40)

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When responding to the sound of Spryte's scream, Link opens the doors to Zelda's room and is washed out by all the water. The door is a double door at this time. But when he and Zelda go back up the steps to the same door and open it, it is now a single door. (00:23:40)

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Quite a bit of water goes down the tower steps and washes Link and Zelda out onto the ground. Zelda's room was about half full when Link opened the door. But as soon as Zelda stands up after they are flood out, there is no water left on the ground or the steps at all. Zelda and Link don't even look wet. (00:22:50)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Spryte uses her magic on the cleaning supplies in Zelda's room, unaware that Ganon zapped her and supercharged her spells. A couple mops dip into buckets of water and go down and wet the floor right by the buckets. Couple shots later when the buckets sprout wings, the floor is suddenly dry again. (00:21:55)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: As the townspeople are doing their cleaning, Spryte brings out a blue rug that is rolled up and tosses it to the ground in front of her. It rolls out nice and neat. The way she threw it, it would have been lying vertical from her perspective. The shot then changes and suddenly it is horizontal to her perspective. (00:19:30)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: Ganon goes on a monologue rant after the bird reports to him. There is a half circle design on the front of his helmet just below the front spike. As he moves and says the word Triforce, that half circle vanishes and then comes back. It also did this before only a few seconds earlier. All in the same shot. (00:18:40)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: During the fight with the deranged cleaning supplies in Zelda's room, Link gets attacked by her bed sheet and gets wrapped up. Once Zelda dispatches the mops that are attacking him, the sheet changes from being wrapped around him to just being draped over him. (00:24:20)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Audio problem: When Ganon gets to the Triforce of Wisdom and is about to take it, he says "The Triforce is mine!". He then says "When combined with my own Triforce..." As he begins saying the second part, his mouth stops moving for a second. (00:23:20)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After the water washes Link and Zelda out of the tower, they are by the stairs. During this part while they talk, they keep changing distance and location from the stairs between shots, most notably the far shot when Link hands Zelda some shrunken weapons. (00:23:00)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Zelda has her hand on a large brown rug on a rack as she hears Spryte scream. Buckets with wings fly out and down past her and the shot changes to a closer view. When this happens, the brown rug is significantly smaller than just a few shots before. (00:22:20)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: As Spyte's spells go haywire and things lose control, a rag flies out of a bucket and takes shape to kick the fairy. As it comes out of the bucket, it is a pale green color. The next shot of it attacking Spryte, it is white. (00:22:05)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Just after Ganon zaps Spryte, Link is in his room practicing with his sword saying 'take that, Ganon'. He is moving past some widows and some flowers come into view between the two windows. The shot cuts to him jumping to kick a chair, and the flowers vanish. (00:25:35)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Other mistake: After Ganon zaps Spryte with a spell to make her spells go crazy, he begins laughing. Watch closely at this point. Just above his hand, the only one visible at this time, a random black line like thing just appears and begins moving up. It has a couple spasms in its movement as well. I cannot tell what it is, and it is definitely not a bug. Whatever it is, it's not supposed to be there. (00:20:20)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Before Ganon gets to the castle, it shows several people by the fountain cleaning. There are two racks beside a doorway, one having an orange rug on it, and the other a blue one. Spryte comes out and begins dusting a different rug. Shot changes back, and now the racks with those rugs are gone. (00:19:40)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After the bird reports to Ganon, he turns to the 'Evil Jar' and snaps his fingers. The bird is right beside him. But the shot changes to a far view, and the bird is gone. Then, after about two seconds, without the shot even changing, the bird suddenly appears beside him. Just poof, back out of thin air. (00:18:50)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: A bird flies into Link's room and attacks Zelda. As it swoops in, its tail feathers are solid brown, and the tips are squared off. They look this way all the time, except when it lands in the dirty clothes and Zelda forces its head into it. This shot shows the tips of the tail feathers a bluish white, and are pointed. (00:17:15)
