The Ringer - S1-E1

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)

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)

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)

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Other mistake: The main part of the holding jar is transparent glass and open at the top. As the crab creature reaches in and begins pulling Link out, the dimensions and physics of the glass are suddenly totally broken. The back part of the glass at the top is curved up down in appearance from what we see and the part close to the camera would appear curved up. But as Link is pulled out, the back down curve over laps him, making it look like he is already outside the holding jar. (00:28:00)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Other mistake: Link lands on the middle head of the dragon and then zaps the left head first, then takes am and zaps the right head. There is almost a full second between him zapping each head and you see the first head glow pink for a moment before he zaps the other. Then the camera pulls back and suddenly the first head has stopped glowing pink but then they both glow at the same time and vanish at the same time. (00:03:50)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Other mistake: The door that Link blasts down to get into Ganon’s bed chamber has a locking bar on the front of it. A bar like that is used to slide across when a door is two doors to keep them sealed together closed. But when Link blasts it open, it is very obvious this is just a single door with a board on the front that doesn't even stretch to the ends of the door. This makes the locking board and support bones on it completely pointless. (00:12:20)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Other mistake: Spryte kisses Frog Link which breaks the spell and turns him back into an elf. As this happens, bright blue light shines off him and you see a shot of Ganon and Zelda, Ganon's back to Link and Zelda in front of Ganon facing towards Link. When the light starts, it shines from the left side of the screen and you see it hitting Ganon correctly, lighting up parts of his body from the left. But the light is oddly hitting Zelda from the right, which doesn't match up. (00:13:25)

Sing for the Unicorn - S1-E5

Other mistake: In Ganon's lair after he is captured, King Harkinian is standing by two Tin Suits that are guarding him. They have an X shaped red strap thing across their chest. The one on the right has his not completely drawn. The strap that meets towards the middle on the back layer towards his upper right has one of the lines not fully connecting. As the Tin Suit turns a little, it suddenly connects to be complete, but then he turns back and the line is broken again. (00:06:15)

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

Question: Once Zelda and Link confront Ganon on the road, he summons more skeletons up and they surround Link and Zelda. 7 Skeletons against Link and Zelda. So what's Link's plan of action? He takes off his belt and wraps it around himself and Zelda, strapping them together back to back to fight the 7 skeletons. This to me seems like it would just hinder their mobility. So my question is what is the really point of Link strapping himself to Zelda like that while surrounded? does it actually make sense to do that?

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.
