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 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)

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)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After Ganon is blown up inside the secret entrance, the Triforce of Wisdom bounces out and lands next to Link and Zelda who are strapped together with his belt. There is no visible buckle at this time. Shot changes to a closer view on the same side and the buckle instantly appears. (00:14:15)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Zelda and Link fall through a tree and land on the road after being slingshot. Both the shot of Link landing, and the shot of Zelda landing in his lap show leaves falling next to them and on the ground around them. When the shot cuts to Link laughing, all the leaves that fell vanish. (00:12:00)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The magician that explodes the tomato is standing in front of the stairs that Zelda's throne is on. The view from her angle shows a black magician dressed in pink and purple standing beside him. Judging by the clothing, I will assume it's a girl. A few shots later after Ganon is heard laughing, the tomato magician and this girl turn around and you see them from Ganon's angle. Suddenly the black girl is now a white girl. She is black again in later shots. (00:07:45)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: As Ganon is yelling in anger at the Moblins, repeating the word "blast" over and over, you see the pedestal that the Triforce of Power is on sitting in front of the Evil Jar. It is shown as skinny and a solid shape. Then when Ganon is telling the Triforce his plan to join the amateur magician contest, the pedestal changes significantly. It is now shorter, has spikes all over it, and is fatter. (00:06:10)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: As Zelda knocks on the door and Link goes to it, he has a satchel draped over his shoulder with the buckle to his back. As he turns to open the door, you see the buckle at the very end of the strap with nothing running through it. The shot changes to him opening the door and leaning in to kiss Zelda, right before he is slapped, and you see there is some of the strap now running through the buckle and hanging past it. This changes back and forth a couple more times during this scene. (00:04:05)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Link puts the pillow over the Moblin's head that has the staff and jumps back. The Moblin with the sword runs into the other Moblin and they both fall over. Link then holds up his sword to change his zap laser and begins blasting the Moblins. The shot cuts back to those two Moblins lying down on the ground trying to get up. The staff, sword, and pillow have all vanished. (00:03:30)

Quantom X

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The Moblin that was hit with the pillow is seen standing next to the door in one shot with a mouth full of feathers. He is standing with a slight hunch and his head is bent down slightly. The very next shot cuts to him spitting the feathers out, but he is already leaning back to inhale between the shots. (00:03:05)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Link smacks one of the Moblins in the face with a pillow and it sends feathers flying all around. The shot then cuts, still having Link in the frame, and now there are no feathers in the air or on the ground next to him. (00:02:40)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Link gets out of bed, you can see there is nothing on it but his sheets and pillow. But when Link throws the Moblin at the bed and hits it, suddenly Link's sword is on the bed where he was sleeping just moments before, and it gets launched. (00:01:20 - 00:02:30)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Link sits up after he awakens. The shot from behind his back as he is sitting in his bed shows a table with a blue vase on it sitting next to the wall by his bed. It is out of his reach, even if he leaned. But then the shot changes as he is stretching and now the table is only just outside of arm's reach. Also the portrait of Zelda is closer and bigger. (00:01:15)

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)

More quotes from The Legend of Zelda

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.
