The Legend of Zelda

Sing for the Unicorn - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Link is holding onto a rope and about to swing into Zelda's window. The angle from behind Link shows him holding the rope up high with both hands close together. It then cuts to a front angle as King Harkinian walks up behind him and Link's hands are suddenly spread far apart along the rope, one high by his head, the other lower to his belly. (00:01:50)

Continuity mistake: When Link is about to swing in through the window of the tower Zelda is in, there is a blue table next to her cot. But in an earlier shot where Link first sees her through the window, the table is not there. It is not the angle, as it is close enough to her cot in the second shot that it should have been visible in the first. (00:01:55)

Sing for the Unicorn - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Link comes out on the balcony and looks down to see Zelda reading, there is a window behind Zelda's head. There are some vines growing up the side of the castle wall towards that window, but in this shot, they are not totally there yet. A few moments later when Link is about to swing in through a different window, that same window is shown again, but this time the vines are very heavy around the base of the window. Then when King Harkinian pats Link on the back real hard and causes him to swing before he is ready, the window is shown again and now the vines are less around the window, but still different from the first time. (00:01:15 - 00:02:15)

Continuity mistake: In the opening shot, the camera is closing in on Hyrule Castle. The crescent moon is large and visible behind the castle. It then cuts to a closer view of one of the towers and suddenly the moon is a slightly different shape, and it appears to be a little smaller. (00:00:50)

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)

Continuity mistake: Just before the rope bridge, Link gets into a fight with two centaur like creatures. As he zaps them, one of them drops a magic whistle. There is a shot showing Link by the bridge and Zelda and Zing going on the bridge. You can see a large portion of the ground by Link's feet, and there is no whistle there. It cuts to a close up of Link and he looks down at his feet, bends down and picks up the whistle. (00:12:15)

Sing for the Unicorn - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Ganon has his minions push King Harkinian into the round room and the door is shut behind him. The King does not move from that spot as Ganon appears and talks him. Ganon vanishes and then the light appears. The King only takes a few steps back and then there is a bird's eye view. Suddenly the King is much further away from the door than he was and is now much closer to the opposite wall. (00:07:00)

Continuity mistake: When Link is falling through the air above the castle, he grabs a hold of the legs of two of Ganon's bat like creatures. Between this shot, and the close up immediately following, Link's hands change positions on the creatures' ankles, and his arm and the creatures get closer together. (00:04:30)

Sing for the Unicorn - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: As the light in the room is expanding towards the King, he is leaning back almost against the wall in fear. It cuts to a close up and suddenly he is leaning forward, at which point he leans back again in fear. (00:06:55)

Factual error: After Ganon captures King Harkinian, he takes him to a circular room and says that Link and Zelda have one hour to surrender the Kingdom of Hyrule and the Triforce of Wisdom or the King will fall a very long time. After he says this, a bright light shines up from the center of the room and begins expanding, it being a hole. However, it is expanding WAY too fast to take an hour to make the King fall to his doom. At the rate of expansion, it would be to the edge of the room in probably just over a minute if not less. (00:06:55)

Plot hole: Link goes after Ganon to save the King and winds up hanging on the tail of his Unicorn Pegasus in the air. Zelda was in her room in a high tower when Link used the diving board to get out to an even higher tower. Ganon blasts Link off his horse, and Link begins falling to certain doom towards the castle grounds. But miraculously, Zelda is there with a hay cart and saves him. She was all the way up in her tower and Link wasn't even out of the room for 2 full minutes. Yet somehow she was able to make it all the way down to the castle grounds, grab a hay cart, and be in just the right spot to catch Link. (00:04:50)

Sing for the Unicorn - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: After Link and Zelda hear King Harkinian scream when Ganon attacks, Link throws a broken table at the window and then a dresser to weigh it down to make a diving board. When the dresser is put on it, the board is angled up at 45 degrees and stuck that way. But then Link runs at it and suddenly the board is perfectly horizontal level, even with one side supposedly pinned to the floor by the dresser. (00:03:05)

Continuity mistake: When Link hooks a rope to the top of a tower so he can swing in Zelda's room, her father King Harkinian walks up behind him and suggest he take flowers if he wants a kiss. As the King is moving around, during the same shot even, the jewel on his crown keeps fluctuating in size and even move around a little. (00:01:55)

Continuity mistake: Link walks out shortly after King Harkinian says his first lines of the episode and talks about how he is still not sure why he is living in the castle. He walks to the edge and sees Zelda and says he is trying to adapt. When he first walks up, he goes to the center of a circular ledge with a wall, and there is an empty plant spot to his left. It cuts to show Zelda in her room reading then back to him saying he is trying to adapt. Suddenly he is much closer to the plant holder near the edge of the circle ledge, and now there is a plant in it. (00:01:15)

Audio problem: Right in the beginning, King Harkinian is walking about at night on the wall of his castle. He comments about the night air and how there is nothing like a good meal. During the last half of that, the shot changes to a side view as he walks to the edge and stops. His lips are not moving until he stops and you can see them move when he says the word Meal. (00:01:00)

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)

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.

The White Knight - S1-E3

Question: In this episode, Link is in a town that is attacked by an Octoroc and several large minions that appear to be a red and white knight in armor sort of thing. Link attacks and calls them by their name. It sounds like he is saying Tin Suits. But I am unsure. And there is no option for captions or subtitles on the DVD. Is Tin Suits what he says or is he calling them something else?

Quantom X

Chosen answer: He does in fact call them Tinsuits.
