Cold Spells - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: In the secret tunnel to Ganon's lair that Link and Zelda are in after going inside the tree, some roots attack them. One wraps around Zelda, which Link then blasts with a sword laser. She falls and there are pieces of tree root on the ground around her. But as Link is then grabbed by a root, Zelda stands up and the pieces of the root that grabbed her have vanished. (00:26:25)
Cold Spells - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: After saving Zelda from the roots, Link himself is grabbed by a tree root in the secret tunnel. Zelda breaks in with an arrow and Link falls on the ground. The pieces of the tree root are next to him. Then a trap door opens that they happen to be on at that moment and so Link, Zelda, and the tree root pieces fall through. But the next shot of them falling, the tree roots are gone. And when they fall into the holding jar, no tree roots follow. (00:27:05)
Cold Spells - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: A trap door opens up in the secret tunnel and Link and Zelda falls into a holding jar. The base of the jar appears to be a dark green color, with white spikes all around the base of the glass part. But the shot where Ganon walks up and Link idiotically tries to blast a sword laser at him, the spikes have turned to the same green as the stand. Then they go back to white again in following shots. (00:27:15)
Cold Spells - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: As the crab creature approaches the holding jar that Link and Zelda are in, Link puts his arm in front of Zelda and says "I'll handle this". The shot from beside the crab shows Link's arm stop with his hand about level with Zelda's belt. Then there is a cut to a close up, and Link's arm is now about level with Zelda's chest. It cuts back to a distance shot and again his hand is by her belt. (00:27:45)
Cold Spells - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: While in the holding jar, Link begins beating on the glass with his sword. While the crab creature shows up, his sword is suddenly sheathed again. Then moments later, back in his hand as he strikes at the crab's claws. (00:27:45)
Cold Spells - S1-E2
Other mistake: The main part of the holding jar is transparent glass and open at the top. As the crab creature reaches in and begins pulling Link out, the dimensions and physics of the glass are suddenly totally broken. The back part of the glass at the top is curved up down in appearance from what we see and the part close to the camera would appear curved up. But as Link is pulled out, the back down curve over laps him, making it look like he is already outside the holding jar. (00:28:00)
Cold Spells - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: The holding jar's base section has spikes all around it. But when Spryte comes in through the trap door that Link and Zelda fell from, a shot from her perspective shows no spikes on the jar. (00:28:05)
Cold Spells - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: The crab creature grabs Link's sword while he is in the jar and Spryte fires a magic shot at the crab. This causes the crab to rear back a little and flings Link up and out of the jar, flying over the crab's back. He lands and fires lasers at Ganon. Then suddenly the crab is somehow behind Link when Link flipped behind it. (00:28:15)
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.
