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)

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: 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: While Ganon is disguising himself as an amateur magician, he makes a throne to sit in. The back of the throne is red and black and has horns, very noticeable. As Ganon begins conjuring skeletons to hold up the throne, his back is flush with the back of the chair. However, in one close up shot, the back of the throne is gone. (00:06:35)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Ganon summons some skeletons to hold up his mobile throne so he can go to the Armature Magician's contest. As they appear, the floor is blue tile. But it cuts to a close up of their feet as their robes form and the ground has turned to pink tile. It changes angle again and suddenly it is a dark purplish blue, but with no tiles. (00:06:45)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: At the Amateur Magicians Contest, the first shot of the walk where Zelda sits in her throne shows a wooden piece stretching down from a balcony above the door to the top of the door. There are also windows to the left and right of her with a plant in them. A couple minutes later when Link looks out the window of his tower to see the dragon attacking Zelda, the wooden piece and the windows have vanished. The bricks of the wall also become fewer but bigger. As well as Zelda's stairs become shorter. (00:07:20 - 00:09:25)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Af the amateur magicians contest, there is a fountain in the court yard. There are some statues in the middle of it. But after Zelda screams and Link looks out the window of his tower, the view from above shows no statues in the same fountain. (00:07:20 - 00:09:30)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: One of the amateur magicians accidentally explodes a tomato all over himself and Zelda. The amount of tomato juice on Zelda changes between shots. Moments later, the tomato juice is all gone. (00:07:40)
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: Ganon summons a bat to go spy on the Triforce of Wisdom to see who guards it. Watch his finger nails. As he is holding the bat, his nails are long and sharp. But when the angle changes, his finger nails look short and normal. (00:08:15)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Ganon is sitting in his mobile throne which has a red back to it. It is visible when the bat lands on his shoulder. But when it cuts while the bat is giving his report, the back of the throne vanishes. (00:08:50)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The bat tells Ganon that Link is guarding the Triforce. He then aims his hands at Zelda and the perspective switches to showing her through his hands as he uses it like a scope to zoom in on the lizard in her hands. His hands are up for this, but the very next shot, his hands are suddenly back down on his arm rests, and he then raises his left hand again to blast the lizard. (00:08:55)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When the dragon first attacks Zelda, the stairs she is on are purplish pink. Moments later when Link is on those same steps, they have turned yellow and tiled. And plant pots and a small stone wall appear on the steps. (00:09:40)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: When fighting the dragon, the dragon's fire has absolutely no effect on any shadows or lighting at all. (00:09:40)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Factual error: Link is next to a flower pot after he rolls off the dragon. The shadow effects on the items around him are all wrong. By the lighting, you can tell that the light source of the sun is behind Link and to the left of the flower pot. The flower pot's shadow is stretching to the right of the screen. But the steps, which are in the same lighting, have their shadows cast to the left, into the light. (00:09:45)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: As Link rolls off the dragon and lands by a flower pot, he has no shadow. But other things around him do, including the flower pot. (00:09:45)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link rolls off the dragon and is by a pot of flowers. The flowers appear to be all white. A few shots later from another angle, and now the flowers are a mixture of colors, mostly white and purple. (00:09:55)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The steps Zelda was sitting on while judging the amateur magician contest were a brownish red color. As Link is fighting the dragon on the same bricks that is made of, they are still that color. But one shot just after he pulls out his shield those same bricks are shown as gray like concrete, then back to brown again. (00:09:55)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Spryte tries foolhardily to stop Ganon from taking the Triforce of Wisdom. She is on top of it as she confronts him. He then moves his hand to her and flicks her away. When he does this, she is suddenly down in front of the Triforce. (00:10:45)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Ganon escapes with the Triforce of Wisdom and Link says "We'll never catch him now". As he says this, he raises his right fist into the air. Shot changes to Zelda grabbing a seed behind him and his fist is still in the air. She turns and bends down to plant the seed and the shot changes. Suddenly both Link's hands are behind his back. (00:11:20)
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.
