Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The episode begins with the opening shot of Hyrule Castle, and also ends on a shot of Hyrule Castle. In the opening shot and then in the ending shot, the castle has changed up a bit. Most noticeably the vines on the side of the castle have vanished. The bushes around the walls of the castle have lessened. The trees around the castle have also changed. Also the number of windows above the entrance of the castle decreases, and most of the towers change in size and shape. Also an extra pointed tower appears on the right side. And finally the road leading to the castle becomes much more narrow. (00:00:45 - 00:15:05)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: As Zelda is riding her horse in the beginning, she complains that Link is still asleep and goes to pull an apple out of the basket on her horse. In this shot, the seat of her saddle is completely brown with the blue and pink cloth underneath it. But when she hears a scream after taking a bite of her apple, the side of her horse is shown again and now the front part of her saddle seat is now yellow. (00:00:55)

Continuity mistake: The basket on the back of Zelda's horse has no fruit hanging out of it or visible when seen from the side. But when Zelda reaches back to grab an apple out of it, a close up of the top shows both a banana and the leaves of a pine apple sticking up out of the top. Yet these are not visible in the previous shot. (00:00:55)

Continuity mistake: Once the episode starts, Zelda is shown riding towards the camera on a horse and she is complaining about Link being lazy and not going riding with her. After the episode's title fades away, it cuts to a close up of her. Suddenly, the basket on the back of the horse has the lid open. Also her hair is fuller and the mane on the horse becomes more wavy. (00:00:55)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Once Zelda takes an apple out of the basket to take a bite, it cuts to a close up of her face just before she takes a bite. When she does, her eyebrows turn a lighter color, her eyelids are further down, her mouth is open less wide, her fingers change position on the apple, and the leaf and stem change shape on the apple. (00:01:00)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Once she hears a scream in the distance, Zelda stops her horse for a moment and says maybe she can have an adventure. She then rears up the horse to turn him. When she does, the pink part of the cloth under her saddle turns blue at the front of it. (00:01:05)

Continuity mistake: When the basket of fruit hits the dragon, the shot cuts back to where the damsel in distress is, and now the roots of the tree are stretched across the rock much more than they were at any point prior. (00:01:10 - 00:03:05)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Zelda turns her horse around and you can see there is a yellow spike like ornament on the front of her saddle. Then she has her horse take off running and just before the horse goes off frame, the yellow ornament suddenly detaches from the saddle and is on the horse's neck. Also in the same shot, the brown on her saddle suddenly extends down further from her legs. (00:01:10)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The first shot showing the damsel in distress has her with her back to a large rock that has a tree on the side of it. The roots stretch across the rock behind her. Then it cuts showing the dragon running at her and then to a close up of the girl. Suddenly the roots are more extensive along the rock behind her. (00:01:10)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When the damsel in distress is first shown, the rock she has her back to has a tree growing out of the side of it. Moments later when the angle changes to show the back of the rock, the tree on the rock has moved back quite a bit. (00:01:15)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Zelda first sees the three headed dragon when it is tormenting the damsel in distress, the surroundings change once she leaps into action and it blows fire at her. The rock the girl is against changes shape, the trees in the background become thicker and more numerous, and the trees and bushes in the foreground change up and in position. (00:01:20 - 00:02:30)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Zelda rides her horse off camera after hearing the girl scream, she is not wearing anything on her hip, her boots are pointed at the top, and the basket of fruit she has is on the left side of the horse. But after riding to where the damsel is in distress, suddenly her pouch is on her hip, her boots are flat at the top, and the basket switches to the right side of the horse. (00:01:20)

Continuity mistake: Zelda brings her horse to a stop and then reaches for an apple to throw at the dragon. When doing so, it cuts to a close up of her on the horse, and suddenly, a tassel appears on the horse's butt where the strap is, a blue triangle appears on the buckle of the same strap, an extra layer of blue appears under Zelda's saddle, and her belt buckle suddenly appears. (00:01:20)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After seeing the damsel in distress, Zelda rides her horse over and turns it around before stopping to dismount. When she is riding to the right, the inner part of her saddle is pink, with the outer blue border, and then the area just under the saddle is also blue, in about the same shape as the saddle. But as she begins turning the horse around, the blue part under the saddle suddenly disappears. (00:01:20)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When the three headed dragon is shown shaking his heads as he is taunting the girl, his body is mostly light green, but his legs are dark green. But a minute later when Zelda dodges a flame attack by the dragon and lands in front of it, it's legs and feet are now the light green color. (00:01:25 - 00:02:25)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After the three headed dragon says the damsel in distress looks good enough to eat, it shows a close up of her by the rock, and there are lots of roots stretched across the rock behind her back. Then after Zelda throws some lemons into the dragon's mouths, it cuts back to the girl saying this is not how it's supposed to be, and now the roots have vanished off the rock. (00:01:40 - 00:02:40)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: In her close up, the damsel in distress is yelling out if no handsome hero will save her. Here you see the collar of her yellow dress is green, but the cuffs of her sleeves are yellow like the rest of her dress. But after she calls the dragon a three headed freak and he comes down to complain to her about it, she holds up her arm saying she is just getting into the part, and now the cuffs of her sleeves are green like her collar. (00:01:40)

Continuity mistake: When the Witch of Walls grabs frog Link's tongue to inspect it, the first shot shows the hole in the wall from where she came out has vanished, then it's back again in the next shot. In the same two shots, her hands change from being right on top of his hand and left on bottom, to left on top and right on the bottom of Link's tongue. (00:10:25)

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 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.
