The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: As Link looks out the window at Zelda, the ledge on the outside of the window has 3 lines going down it showing it divided into 4 stones. The shots from Zelda's perspective show it as one solid piece. The window is also skinnier from her view. (00:01:50)

Continuity mistake: When the Moblins attack Link in his room through a sort of trap door, the hole that is the door keeps changing locations, shapes, and the tiles around it all throughout the fight. Some points even disappearing entirely. (00:01:25 - 00:03:40)

Continuity mistake: As Link wakes up, you can see there is a fitted sheet on his bed, as well as a regular sheet that he covers up with. He sits up and pushes the regular sheet back and gets up. The fitted sheet is still secure to his bed. But when he throws a Moblin at his bed, the fitted sheet is suddenly gone and it's just a wooden bed. (00:01:15 - 00:02:30)

Continuity mistake: There is a window between the mirror and table by Link's bed in Link's room. As he gets up out of the bed, the window is shut as he walks past it, and the ledge under it has nothing on it. Moments later when the Moblins come up through the floor and attack, the mirror is nearer the wall, the window is suddenly open, and now there are ring handle like things on the ledge, which is also now bigger and pushed out more into the room. (00:01:25 - 00:02:15)

Revealing mistake: When Link calls down to Zelda from the tower, you can see a fault in the drawing as Zelda moves. There is a low wall around her on the balcony, with flowers and vines on it. As she moves, you can see some of her dress pass right through the wall and vines towards the lower right. (00:01:50)

Continuity mistake: Link gets out of bed in the beginning and the sheet is wadded up towards the foot but mostly on the bed. Later when the Moblins attack him, he throws one at the bed who lands in the sheets. The sheet is hanging off the bed much more now than it was. (00:01:20 - 00:02:30)

Continuity mistake: Link gets out of bed and is complaining about his new life in the castle. The Triforce of Wisdom is levitating on a pedestal. It is sparkling and glowing brightly. Link then steps in front of a mirror and the Triforce is seen in the mirror. The reflection shows no sparkles or any glowing. (00:01:30)

Show generally

Audio problem: In the opening title sequence towards the end, Link says "For you, Princess, anything." After he says this, he instantly opens his mouth again in a continued talking motion. But he is not saying anything. In a cartoon such as this, especially from this era, they wouldn't go through the trouble of animating just a breath after a speaking line, or even just a smile like that. It is extra animation for speaking that is not happening. (00:00:25)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Link's room is first shown as Spryte is looking for it, the camera pans by his bed and shows a blue sheet draped over the bed post and the top of the bed, but only that way. A bit later the camera cuts to a different view from the opposite side of the bed post and now the sheet is coiled and wrapping around the post much further. (00:08:35)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When the Octoroc picks up Zelda, the first shot showing it shows lots of the areas on it covered in shadow due to the lighting. But in the shot after Zelda screams when she sees what has her as Ganon walks towards Link, there are no shadows on the Octoroc at all. Also the shot where Zelda is screaming she is looking directly at the Octoroc, but the immediate shot where the shadows on it change she is looking back at Ganon. (00:07:30)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Zelda defeats the mummy by grabbing the bandage wrap and spinning it to unwrap it. This causes the effect of a "zap" and it gets sent to Ganon's lair in the Evil Jar. The wrapping comes off and falls to the ground in front of Zelda. But when the mummy appears in Ganon's Evil Jar, it suddenly has the wrapping back around it. (00:05:50)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Ganon starts putting on a robe as a disguise for the armature magician's contest. As he's first putting it on he grabs at his right arm with his left hand and in that shot his right hand is bent up wards at the wrist. But it cuts to an angle from behind him and suddenly his wrist is bent with his right hand down. (00:06:05)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After Ganon teleports down from his throne, he states that there is an armature magician's contest in Hyrule today. He is hovering in the air and his hands each resting on his knees. It cuts to a side view of him and suddenly his arms are more crossed over each other before he puts them in the air. Also the curved wall beside him in the first shot is suddenly further behind him in the next. (00:06:05)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The shot from behind Ganon's throne shows a view of the walls at the base of his stair case. On the left there are some brown, thick stalagmites rising from the top of the wall on the left, and parts of them are drooping over the wall hanging down. You can also see on the right side of the screen that no such wall exists on that side and it opens up into a different path. When Ganon teleports down from his throne and is standing down there, the stalagmites and their hanging parts are gone. Also there is now an identical wall on the other side that was not there before. It also appears that the stairs coming down from his throne are more of a straight line shape now instead of fanning out. And lastly, the tall curved walls out in the middle are very tall, but in the other shot they are barely half the height they were compared to the other wall. (00:06:00)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Ganon teleports to his throne after killing the Moblins for their failure and it shows two column like structures sticking up from it. In this shot they appear shaped more like melted wax candles and droopy. When it cuts to a view from the other side after Ganon's close up, they look very different, with jagged edges like broken rocks. It also appears that his throne also becomes wider between shots with him having more room to sit. (00:05:45)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Ganon states that if he wants the Triforce of Wisdom, he's going to have to get it himself. At the end of the shot, he's looking straight ahead with his hand hovering below his face but not touching. It cuts to a further away shot and now his head is tilted down and his hand on his chin as he's thinking. (00:05:55)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When it shows the Evil Jar that the Moblins were zapped to, the one on the left is moving up and down quite a bit, with the center one barely moving and the one on the right not moving at all. It cuts to an overhead view and still shows that the one on the left is moving up and down suspended in the Jar. But then it cuts again to a view of the them as the middle one apologizes and suddenly the one on the left is now not moving at all any more. (00:05:20)

Continuity mistake: As Ganon zaps the Moblins inside the Evil Jar with lighting to destroy them, it cuts to a shot from a distance by Ganon's throne showing the Jar. In that shot, the artist seems to have forgotten to draw the podium holding the Triforce of Power under the Jar as it has vanished. (00:05:45)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After the Moblins apologize to Ganon for failing, it cuts to Ganon's eye as he states that they will be sorrier before he kills them, and it shows them reflected. For the most part, the reflection is pretty close to correct, with the right and left Moblins being flipped to opposite sides and facing like a reflection. However the Moblin in the center is not a reflection, and the tale tale sign is his feet. In both shots, his left foot is hanging down lower than his right. If it were a reflection it would show his right foot hanging down further in the second shot. (00:05:25)

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.

More trivia for The Legend of Zelda

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?

Quantom X

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.
