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: Right after the title of the show appears, Zelda opens the door to the room with the Triforce of Wisdom inside to show it to Link. In this shot, the emblem at the top of the door is in the shape of the letter M with wavy lines coming off the tips. Also the round posts at the top of the door are large and thick, and there is a rafter in the ceiling that's almost dead center above the point of the door top. But then in the first episode as Link is getting out of bed, with that same room now being his quarters, you can see the door again. Now the emblem on top is a circle, the posts are shorter and smaller, and the rafter on the ceiling has moved over a few feet to the left. (00:00:05 - 00:01:20)

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: 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: 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)

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)

Continuity mistake: In the wide shot as Link is sitting up in bed, the picture of Zelda on the wall shrinks in size significantly to what it was in the previous shot. Also the area around Zelda changes from blue to white. Also between shots the sheet beside him on the bed is bunched up differently. (00:01:20)

Continuity mistake: As the camera pans over to Link asleep in bed, you can see his sword tucked under his pillow. His bed has no fitted sheet over it, just being apparently bare wood save for the sheet he's covered up with. It then cuts to a close up as he wakes up, and in frustration he picks his pillow up grumbling. His sword vanishes from under his pillow and now his bed has a sheet over it. (00:01:05)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Zelda walks into Link's room and folds her arms, asking if he ever cleans in here. It cuts to a close up of her before Link retorts and a couple things change. Most notably the tie/ribbon of her bath robe has the ends down together almost straight, but then in the close up are spread apart. Then the flowers on her head are big and only 3 visible until it cuts to a close up and they are smaller, and more. And finally in the close up her left hand becomes visible under her right arm where it wasn't before. Also the sheet on the bed post hanging up changes slightly in how it's tied and wrinkled, as well as going from a light blue to almost white. (00:04:10)

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)

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)

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)

Continuity mistake: In Link's room, the shot of Zelda's portrait on the wall above a pitcher and cup shows that there is light shining through the window with beams visible in front of Zelda's picture. But then as Link is getting up out of bed, it shows that the window beside that spot is closed completely. (00:01:00)

Show generally

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)

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.
