Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After Link is turned back into an elf by Spryte's kiss, he stands up and draws his sword. Before he draws it, the shot changes a little to show the action. But several things change in that small cut. The handle on Link's sword changes up, his finger nails vanish, his left hand is suddenly balled up, and some of the moss on the wall behind him moves. (00:13:35)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The rug that falls over Ganon has blue areas on the inside, and are visible on it in areas bowed up as it is over Ganon. But when Ganon is falling through the hole, you see the under parts of the rug again, but now it is all brown with no blue. (00:13:40)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Once Link is returned to normal by Spryte's kiss, her draws his sword and fires a laser at a rug on the wall behind Ganon. It is on a flat wall and begins to fall, but the camera cuts to a closer angle and suddenly the spot directly behind Ganon where the rug fell from has a column in the wall. (00:13:40)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Link fires a sword laser at Ganon and it hits a rug on the wall. When it flies at him, Zelda is standing next to Ganon. But when the rug falls on Ganon, she suddenly vanishes, and also the bricks on the column behind him become thicker. (00:13:45)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Factual error: After the rug falls over Ganon and covers him, Link blasts a hole in the floor under the evil wizard and he falls through with the rug still draped over him. As he falls in the next shot down a long ways, the rug stays draped over him, completely unaffected by wind. (00:13:50)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Link blasts the floor under Ganon after he is trapped under a rug and breaks a hole in the floor, Ganon falling through. You can see the thickness of the floor extends down out of sight. But when it cuts to a shot below the floor as Ganon is falling, you see the hole from under and the floor is suddenly much thinner. (00:13:50)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The rug falls over Ganon, and then the shot cuts to Link before he fires a sword laser at the ground under Ganon. When it cuts back to Ganon and the laser hitting, the wall behind Ganon has completely changed, and the floor stone pattern has also changed up a bit. (00:13:50)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After defeating Ganon, Link and Zelda are standing in his bed chamber at the far side of the room. Link then blasts his sword laser at the opposite wall further away from them and blows a hole in it. The dust and debris settle only a split second later, yet when it does Link and Zelda are somehow instantly standing right at the opening he just made, despite them being on the far end of the large room when he fired the laser. (00:14:00)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Link blasts a hole in the floor big enough for Ganon to fall through easily. Moments later when Link and Zelda are about to make their escape, they are shown standing next to the same hole, which is now much smaller and not big enough for Ganon to have fallen through. (00:14:00)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Once Ganon is gone, Link blasts a hole in the wall so he and Zelda can escape. When the dust clears, Link and Zelda are standing at the hole. It then cuts to a close up, and suddenly the shape of the hole changes, Spryte suddenly appears between them, and the color of the wall changes from purple, to a yellowy green. (00:14:05)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After jumping down, Link and Zelda take off to escape and run along a stone bridge towards a door. The bridge is curved towards the left. But then the same bridge is seen from Ganon's perspective, and suddenly the bridge is curved to the right. Also between shots the stones around the threshold of the door they are running to change in size, shape, and number. (00:14:10)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: Once Link and Zelda make a break for it, Ganon is shown standing at the hole Link blasted in his wall. Lying over Ganon are several large, tattered pieces of the brown rug that Link had made fall on him earlier. The rug is thick, yet in the spot going over his belly, you can see the drawing lines of Ganon's waistband showing through. (00:14:10)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Once in the clear of Ganon, Zelda, Link and Spryte are walking along a dirt path in the forest. In the first shot of them moving, Spryte is flying alongside them, but her wings are not moving at all. Then it cuts to a closer shot of the three, and suddenly her wings are moving. Then in the close up of Spryte, her wings are moving much slower. Then it cuts away again and once more her wings are not moving at all, and then they stop walking and so Spryte stops, only to have her wings suddenly start flapping again. (00:14:20)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After escaping Ganon's lair, Zelda, Link and Spryte are going along in the forest, and Link is talking to Zelda about how he was cured of being a frog. While Spryte is flying next to them, her right arm is weirdly much longer than it's supposed to be, and curved. When it cuts to a close up of her, her arm is back to normal. (00:14:25)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: As Link and Zelda are walking along in the forest with Spryte, Link talks about how it was Spryte's kiss that cured him. As he says this, he looks up at Spryte while he talks, and oddly in several frames a couple times, Link's head separates from his body. Then goes back on in some weird animation glitch. (00:14:25)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: In the forest after Ganon's lair, after Link says he is glad he is not a frog any more, they stop and turn to each other. Link's mouth is closed and Zelda puts her hand up to his chest. Then it cuts to a close up and suddenly Link is smiling showing his teeth, Zelda's arm is down, and the trees behind them change. (00:14:35)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Link sees a fly during the close up of him and Zelda about to kiss, and then reaches out and grabs it. When the shot cuts back to Link's face as he eats the fly, the trees behind him and Zelda have changed around suddenly. (00:14:45)
