Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After Link is turned back into an elf by Spryte's kiss, he stands up and draws his sword. Before he draws it, the shot changes a little to show the action. But several things change in that small cut. The handle on Link's sword changes up, his finger nails vanish, his left hand is suddenly balled up, and some of the moss on the wall behind him moves. (00:13:35)

Other mistake: Spryte kisses Frog Link which breaks the spell and turns him back into an elf. As this happens, bright blue light shines off him and you see a shot of Ganon and Zelda, Ganon's back to Link and Zelda in front of Ganon facing towards Link. When the light starts, it shines from the left side of the screen and you see it hitting Ganon correctly, lighting up parts of his body from the left. But the light is oddly hitting Zelda from the right, which doesn't match up. (00:13:25)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Ganon blasts Link to the ground, Link has no shadow when he lies on his back. A couple of shots later, he suddenly has a shadow. You can also tell he is now in a different spot on the floor by the cracks on the floor and the position of Ganon’s bed. Also in the same shots, the column that Zelda was chained to has moved over, and the walls and cave in the background have changed a bit in shape and color. (00:13:15)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Preventing them from kissing, Ganon surprise attacks and blasts Frog Link away from Zelda. When he says, "Sorry, I like him the way he is," his right tusk keeps flashing from its white color to a brownish yellow like the rest of his skin. (00:13:05)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: After Frog Link cuts Zelda’s chains and rescues her, she says "thank goodness you’re here". He responds and as he talks, in a few frames the green around his mouth becomes several shades lighter all of a sudden and then goes back, showing a fault in the animation drawings. (00:12:35)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Audio problem: When Link blasts open the door with his sword, you hear him shoot 3 times. Yet 4 sword lasers come through the door, and they don’t match up with the timing of the sounds of the blasts. (00:12:20)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Other mistake: The door that Link blasts down to get into Ganon’s bed chamber has a locking bar on the front of it. A bar like that is used to slide across when a door is two doors to keep them sealed together closed. But when Link blasts it open, it is very obvious this is just a single door with a board on the front that doesn't even stretch to the ends of the door. This makes the locking board and support bones on it completely pointless. (00:12:20)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Just before Link blasts down the door to Ganon’s bed chamber to rescue Zelda, the camera pans over to show the door. It then cuts to a closer angle just before he blasts it open. Between the two shots of the door, it gets taller, the lock board gets thicker, and the bones holding the lock bar get closer together. (00:12:20)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: In the shot where Ganon looks up after hearing a scream, the stalagmite column Zelda is chained to, as well as Zelda herself, is facing perpendicular to Ganon’s bed. But in all previous shots and shots following this that show the column and Zelda, it is facing the bed. (00:11:50)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After Ganon hears Spryte scream, he tells Zelda to not go away. In the side view shot, it shows her hands chained behind the column and her arms are close to the sides of the column at 90°, showing it’s a bit of a long chain for hand cuffs. It shows a close up of Zelda’s face as she smarts off to him, then a view directly of her hands behind the column, which shows them much closer together with a short chain. (00:12:00)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Ganon hears Spryte scream after Frog Link eats a fly. He turns and has his head facing the same direction as his body as he talks. It cuts to a close up and suddenly his head is turned towards his shoulder. Also at the end of the first shot, his mouth is fully closed, but when the close up happens, his mouth is wide open. (00:11:50)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After Zelda is first shown captured, Frog Link is crawling upside down on a bridge in Ganon’s lair. In the far shot, his hand is right on the edge of it. But when it cuts to a closer shot, his hand is nowhere near the edge and he is more towards the center. In the same set of shots, the stone division in the bridge increases. (00:11:30)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Ganon's bed is first shown, it changes the second time it appears when he is taunting his chained up prisoner, Zelda. The bed is not as wide, it is thicker, the purple sheets change tint, and the spikes on the bed change shape. (00:11:00)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When the scene starts where Ganon has Zelda chained up in his bedchamber, the first shot pans by showing the door to the room. It is a light brown with a single bar across the front. A little bit later when Ganon is taunting Zelda to give him a kiss, the door is shown again, but this time a much darker brown, with no bar, and a gold handle appears on it. The stones around the door also slightly change, and the moss hanging by the door becomes paler and moves away from the door, and the column vanishes. (00:11:00)

More quotes from The Legend of Zelda

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.
