The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link stands in front of his mirror with his arms folded, whining about his life. In this shot the top of the mirror is almost completely level with the posts. It cuts to a close up of his reflection and suddenly the top of the mirror is much taller than the top of the posts. Also it appears some bolts appear on the posts themselves and the one on the left is in the wrong position. (00:01:25)
The Ringer - S1-E1
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)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link gets pinned to the wall by a Moblin and the camera pulls back in a different cut. In that shot the second window that was in the room earlier as Link was walking up to the first window has vanished. Also the window Link is at changes color from a green tinted wood to just brown. (00:01:35 - 00:02:10)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As Link is walking towards his window after getting out of bed, there's a shot showing two of the windows in his room. There are block-like extensions under the windows - a ledge with rings on them. In this shot, they are not the same. The one on the right is significantly bigger and taller than the one on the left. In the rest of the episode they are pretty much uniform in shape and size for all windows in that room. (00:01:35)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link looks out of his window and sees Zelda below, he places his hands on the edge of his window. His right hand is out in the light. It then cuts to a behind the shoulder view and now his right hand is up further and in the shadows. (00:01:40)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Zelda has on two red earrings at the start when she's standing on the balcony in her gown. When Link whistles at her, scaring the bird away, she turns and looks up. It cuts to an over the shoulder view from her to Link and her earrings disappear. (00:01:45)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: Link looks down from his window and sees Zelda. Zelda then has a bird fly up and land on her hand. It cuts to a different angle before Link whistles at her and for a few frames before Zelda moves her hand, the bird is now not even on her hand, but apparently just hovering in the air beside it. (00:01:45)
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)
The Ringer - S1-E1
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)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link whistles and calls down to Zelda, you can see the floor of the ledge she is on. The first part design has lines going towards the middle and several layering circles, and the center is just a circle. The part behind her just has lines going towards the center and looks like a pizza after being cut. Then the shot changes to a close up of her feet as she is backing up and you see the second design by her feet. There are now twice as many lines in the center. You can tell by the spacing between the lines between shots. The first shot, the spacing makes it look like there are only 4 lines. But the second shot shows 8. (00:01:55)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Spryte brings a robe out for Zelda, who looks over at the fairy from a side angle. That shot shows that her gown is still up over and covering her right shoulder. It cuts to a different angle before she puts the robe on and suddenly her right shoulder is exposed. (00:01:55)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Spryte brings out a robe for Zelda to put on, the ring of roses around her head changes, with there being fewer leaves, and the roses being more bunched up together and apparently more of them. The number and position of the leaves and roses is also never consistent through that whole scene. Sometimes leaves blinking in and out of existence as she moves her head. (00:01:55)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Other mistake: Spryte gives Zelda a robe after Link whistles at her. As she puts it on, her long hair is down her back. The robe just passes right through it and her hair is now on the outside of the robe without her pulling it up. (00:02:00)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link gets thrust against the window and held by a Moblin, the camera quickly pans down showing a brief shot of the Moblin's face with Link's hands. In that brief moment, there is an odd black circle, possibly a shadow of some sort behind the Moblin's head, similar to the old Icons put in religious paintings in older times. It then cuts to a different angle and this shadow is gone, and there doesn't appear to have been anything that would make that shadow in the first place. Also, it appears the Moblin is holding Link's arms differently between shots but the first glimpse is so fast and not showing enough for it to be conclusive. (00:02:10)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As Link is watching Zelda walk away from his tower window, a Moblin reaches out from behind him and pulls him inside, the window then being shut. Link is then thrust against the closed window in the next shot, and now by comparing the size of Link's head to it, the window is now significantly smaller. (00:02:10)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When the second Moblin comes up and grabs Link by the feet, the flowers hanging by Link's window vanish from that shot, when they were there previously. (00:02:15)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As the Moblins are holding Link so the third one can go for the Triforce, the Moblin behind Link is holding his arms. In one shot, the Moblin appears to have his hands over Link's wrists with Link's elbow extended out, the Moblin gripping his arm like one would a motorcycle handle. But then in the next shot, suddenly the Moblin's arms are curled around Link's arms the other way with his hand between Link's arm and back like one would hold a bar when doing pull ups. (00:02:20)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link is about to throw a Moblin off his shoulders, in that shot a chair is beside his window. About a minute later when Link charges up his sword and turns to fire at two of the Moblins, this chair is shown again and now the back of it is much taller than previously. Also in these same shots the horizontal bars on the window shutters grow much thicker. (00:02:25 - 00:03:25)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After Link kicks the Moblin away that was holding his feet, the Moblin that was behind him climbs up onto his shoulders (for some stupid reason), and is sitting on him like that holding his head. In this position his right foot and both hands are visible but his left foot is not, indicating it's behind Link's arm or just on his shoulder, covered. But then it cuts to a wide angle from the same camera angle and suddenly the Moblin's left foot is visible below it's hand on Link's chest. (00:02:25)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link throws the Moblin off his shoulders towards his bed, and as it's flying through the air you get a quick shot of the table. It then cuts to a different angle just before the Moblin hits the bed, and now the table legs are suddenly much shorter, with it lower to the ground. Also the cup and pitcher on the table do the opposite and grow taller. (00:02:30)
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.
