Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The first shot showing Link and Zelda, they are standing in front of some doorways. It is bright out and you can see in the doorways no problem as bright as day. The shot changes to Link handing Zelda a flower and the doorway behind her is now pitch black. The arched stones around the door are also much smaller, and the door is shorter too. (00:15:40)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The establishing shot of Link and Zelda shows a doorway behind them. You can see the floor stretch back a ways but there is nothing visible on it. A few shots later as Zelda is backing into the room, you can now see a nearby table with chairs, as well as a mop right on the doorway threshold that was not there a moment before. (00:15:50)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The distance between Link and the door becomes much shorter from when Zelda tosses him the mop, and when he begins walking inside. He is a good length away at first, but shot changes to him walking and he takes only 3 small steps to enter. He also comes through the middle door when he was just in front of the door on the left. (00:16:00)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: As Zelda backs up into the castle and kicks the mop to Link, there is a red table and chairs behind her. This shot shows the chairs are small, and have crooked legs. But when Link walks in a few moments later, the chairs and table are larger, and the legs are now straight. (00:16:15)

Quantom X

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)

Quantom X

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)

Quantom X

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)

Quantom X

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)

Quantom X

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

Revealing mistake: Ganon goes on a monologue rant after the bird reports to him. There is a half circle design on the front of his helmet just below the front spike. As he moves and says the word Triforce, that half circle vanishes and then comes back. It also did this before only a few seconds earlier. All in the same shot. (00:18:40)

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)

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.

More trivia for The Legend of Zelda

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?

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.
