The Legend of Zelda

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: As Zelda tosses Link a mop, there is a fireplace with a cauldron in it visible behind her. When the shot changes to Link walking into the room, the fireplace and cauldron have drastically grown in size. It then shrinks back down again as he begins mopping. (00:16:15)

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After his fake sneeze and Spryte comes to investigate, Link is mopping next to a fire place. This shot shows him right up next to it. Then when Spryte says "Oh dear, no." The shot changes to a close up of Link. Suddenly, he is quite a bit further away from the fire place. (00:16:40)

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Zelda is standing in Link's room and complaining about the mess. Just before the Triforce of Wisdom speaks to her, it shows Zelda from behind and there is a window next to her. It is shut, and the doors are wide, have thick horizontal braces, and have O shaped rings on each side as handles. Then after the Triforce speaks, there is a shot from in front of Zelda, and the same window is shown. Now the window is skinnier, the doors on it are darker, the horizontal braces are thinner, and the O shaped rings are gone. (00:16:55)

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: As Zelda stands next to the pile of dirty clothes in Link's room after the Triforce speaks to her, there is no table standing beside Link's bed. But when the bird attacks and she falls on the bed, there is suddenly a table beside the bed which has a blue vase on it that she smacks the bird with. (00:16:55)

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: A bird flies into Link's room and attacks Zelda. As it swoops in, its tail feathers are solid brown, and the tips are squared off. They look this way all the time, except when it lands in the dirty clothes and Zelda forces its head into it. This shot shows the tips of the tail feathers a bluish white, and are pointed. (00:17:15)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After Zelda scares off the bird, she sits on Link's bed. Link then opens the door and is surprised to see her. He is still standing right at the doorway in the threshold. Shot changes to Zelda sitting up, then right back to Link. Suddenly Link is in the middle of the room, not at the door and he still is standing still. (00:17:40)

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After fighting off the bird in Link's room, Zelda sits on his bed for a moment. The sheets are gold when she does. Moments later, Link sees her and tries to tackle her for a kiss but she moves and he hits the bed. Now the sheets are white. (00:17:45)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Link first tries to sell the lie that he is sick to Zelda, he is sitting on his bed after attempting to kiss her. Spryte tries to baby him, so Link wraps himself up in a sheet. The close up shot shows that there is some of the sheet under his feet and dangling off the bed. The next shot, there is no sheet under his feet, nor dangling off the bed. (00:18:15)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After the bird reports to Ganon, he turns to the 'Evil Jar' and snaps his fingers. The bird is right beside him. But the shot changes to a far view, and the bird is gone. Then, after about two seconds, without the shot even changing, the bird suddenly appears beside him. Just poof, back out of thin air. (00:18:50)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: In the courtyard where the castle people are dusting out rugs and cleaning stuff, there is a fountain there. The first shot shows no water pouring out of the fountain, but you can hear it doing so. After Spryte throws down her door mat, there is a further away shot. Now you can see water pouring out of the fountain and hear it. (00:19:20)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Spryte hauls out a blue rug and tosses it on the ground to clean it. The shot of it hitting the ground and unfolding shows it lying on a dark brown surface. The lines on it make it look like it is some sort of brick or possibly wood. But then the shot cuts back to Spryte with the rug in front of her, and now the rug is sitting on a light brown surface that is obviously dirt. (00:19:30)

Quantom X

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)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Before Ganon gets to the castle, it shows several people by the fountain cleaning. There are two racks beside a doorway, one having an orange rug on it, and the other a blue one. Spryte comes out and begins dusting a different rug. Shot changes back, and now the racks with those rugs are gone. (00:19:40)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After being zapped by Ganon, Spryte tries to use her spells to clean Zelda's room. The overload throws Spryte back and she lands in a red chair. She lands n the edge of it and there is a yellow line passing under her foot. The next shot, she is suddenly a little over away from that line and closer to the center. Moments later as the bucket sprouts wings, it shows her in the center of the chair suddenly. (00:21:35)

Quantom X

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)

Continuity mistake: Right in the beginning of the title sequence, Zelda and Link walk into a room and see the Triforce of Wisdom. Zelda even says it is the Triforce of Wisdom. It is green. But throughout the entire show in the episodes, the Triforce of Wisdom is shown as blue. (00:00:05)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Question: Once Zelda and Link confront Ganon on the road, he summons more skeletons up and they surround Link and Zelda. 7 Skeletons against Link and Zelda. So what's Link's plan of action? He takes off his belt and wraps it around himself and Zelda, strapping them together back to back to fight the 7 skeletons. This to me seems like it would just hinder their mobility. So my question is what is the really point of Link strapping himself to Zelda like that while surrounded? does it actually make sense to do that?

Quantom X

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.
