Continuity mistake: When Ganon discovers the return of Prince Facade, he is talking to his Evil Jar with his back turned. When he turns around, his skin is a yellowish green color, not his usual brown tan color. His robes are all their normal colors so it is not a lighting effect. He also retains this strange coloring once he teleports to his throne. He was his normal color on his throne in previous episodes. (00:35:25)
Revealing mistake: After Link begins walking to the castle, the scene changes to Ganon's lair in Death Mountain. It first shows the exterior of the volcano and you can see smoke coming from the top. The smoke is obviously a looped animation, where the same frames are repeated over and over again to show continuum. This in of itself is not a mistake, as animation loops are fairly common in cartoons, especially during this era. But the jump between the first and last frames of this smoke is so jarring it makes it painfully obvious it is looped and poorly done. (00:35:10)
Continuity mistake: After Prince Facade saves Link from the Octorok, Link tries to shake his hand. As he does, he is literally just an arm's length away from the Prince. A few shots later, without any of them moving, it shows the three of them, Link, Zelda, and Facade, all together standing. The distance between Prince Facade and Link has now doubled. (00:34:15)
Continuity mistake: After Prince Facade rescues Link from the Octorok and then Zelda humiliates Link, Link reaches his hand out to shake with Prince Facade. The Prince refuses the hand shake because Link's hands are dirty. The close up of Link's hand shows it covered in dirt. But the distance shot of it before and after he reaches out show no dirt on it. (00:34:10)
Continuity mistake: As the Tin Suits advance on Link and Zelda, the shot showing the whole group has a wheelbarrow by the building. There is a rope going up from it to a barrel tied up in the air against the house. By the angle of the rope going up and away from the wheelbarrow, and the relative position of the barrel against the side of the house in relation to the position of the wheelbarrow, you can tell the barrel is not above the wheelbarrow, but tied up in the air behind it. But when Link charges the wagon and slices the rope to use like a human catapult, the barrel falls straight down right into the wagon. (00:30:35)
Continuity mistake: The ground opens up and shows a bunch of Tin Suits marching out. The shot where Link takes off towards the wheelbarrow shows at least 8 Tin Suits marching. Difficult to tell exactly how many, but I see 8 pairs of legs in the group. When Link flies through the air towards them, there are only 5 that can be seen. Link fights 5 and 4 of them are dispatched by him and Zelda. There is just 1 left as the Octorok arrives. That still is only 5 Tin Suits when at least 8 were seen moments before. 3 have just disappeared. (00:30:30 - 00:32:05)
Continuity mistake: While fighting the Tin Suits, Link kicks two of them into a wall. They hit next to a barred window and the wall crumbles. This shot shows the inside of the building as light, bright, and white. But the immediately following shot from by Link shows the inside as dark and blue. (00:30:55)
Revealing mistake: Link runs towards the wheelbarrow to launch himself at the Tin Suits. Before he does, there is a close up shot of two of the Tin Suits marching at him. The one on the left has the eye holes on his helmet poorly drawn and look misshapen compared to the Tin Suit on the right. (00:30:35)
Continuity mistake: When the Tin Suits arrive, there is an orange wheelbarrow sitting next to a house close to Link and Zelda. In the shot showing the Tin Suits marching towards our heroes before Link runs to it, the wheelbarrow is about half the size it was, if not smaller. (00:30:30)
Continuity mistake: The camera pans up from Zelda's mirror to show the Tin Suit cave emerging not very far away from her and Link. But later shots show them much further away than originally shown. (00:30:30)
Continuity mistake: The enemies that Link refers to as Tin Suits emerge from the ground as it folds up, making a cave. They are not a long way off from Zelda and Link. After Link draws his sword and Zelda hops out of the coach, the shot switches back to the Tin Suits. Now the cave they just made has disappeared. It did not sink back down into the ground as when Link lands in the middle of them, the cave is seen behind him. (00:30:30)
Continuity mistake: Zelda casts a spell on her hair to curl the back of it up in a sort of fancy pony tail. She is looking in a hand held mirror at that moment and turns her head sideways to see her hair in the mirror. Her mouth is open and she is smiling. The next shot shows her reflection and suddenly her mouth is closed. (00:30:10)
Continuity mistake: Right in the beginning, Link is watching a blacksmith working on a horseshoe. The close up of the horseshoe shows it a goldfish orange color. The very next shot from further away shows it as a white silver. (00:29:55)
Cold Spells - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: The crab creature grabs Link's sword while he is in the jar and Spryte fires a magic shot at the crab. This causes the crab to rear back a little and flings Link up and out of the jar, flying over the crab's back. He lands and fires lasers at Ganon. Then suddenly the crab is somehow behind Link when Link flipped behind it. (00:28:15)
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)
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)
Cold Spells - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: As Zelda begins telling Spryte what to clean in her room, watch Spryte's hair. Every time the shot changes, her hair keeps changing from blonde to brown and back and forth. (00:21:25)
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.
