Continuity mistake: When on the ground after jumping out the window, a Zola is making off with Zelda. But for a moment it is standing still and holding her. Zelda's boobs are much larger than usual in this shot. (00:40:55)
Continuity mistake: As the 4 legged spider-like creatures attack Zelda and Prince Facade in the castle, some of them pin Facade to the ground. He quickly smacks them away with his cross bow and stands up. As he shoots two of them, you can see his sword on his side. But when the spider attacks him from behind, his sword has disappeared. Then just a moment later in the same shot, it reappears. (00:40:30)
Continuity mistake: Link yells at Spryte "Save your breath, Spryte! I'm gone!" There is a close and far shot of them, and the distance between Link's face and Spryte's body increases between shots. (00:38:55)
Revealing mistake: After Link storms off after being laughed at, there is a shot showing his medals on the floor in front of the door. The designs at the bottom of the door are poorly drawn and misshapen. Being a nice, royal castle like this, they wouldn't have imperfect metal plating designs on their doors. This is just poor art and was likely rushed. (00:38:30)
Continuity mistake: When Link walks through the door in his horrible prince outfit, he trips and medals fall off him. He made it at least a good 6 feet through the door before falling. Then after he storms out, there is a shot showing the medals on the ground. And most are not even 2 feet away from the door. (00:38:30)
Continuity mistake: Link has on a ridiculous prince outfit as he walks into the room with Zelda, her father, and Prince Facade. He trips over himself, and several medals roll on the floor in front of him. Moments later when he is getting up, there are no medals on the floor. (00:38:25)
Revealing mistake: Trying to impress Zelda, Link walks into the room where she and her father are listening to Prince Facade's tall tales, wearing his idea of a prince outfit, complete with blue boots that have spurs on them. As he walks forward, the spurs keep passing right through the opposite foot like it's not there. (00:38:10)
Continuity mistake: After Zelda introduces Prince Facade to her father, it cuts to Link taking a bath. There is a far shot, and then a close shot. The amount of bubbles in the bath between these two shots lessens quite a bit. (00:36:55)
Continuity mistake: While in the bath, Link asks Spryte if she brought the clothes he wanted as he begins scrubbing his back. He is facing towards Spryte at that moment. The shot changes to a close up and suddenly Link is facing to the right, almost totally away from Spryte. (00:37:25)
Continuity mistake: After discovering that Prince Facade is in Hyrule, Ganon laughs and teleports to his throne. There is a distance shot, and a closer shot of him sitting in the throne. The amount of space he takes up in the throne lessens between shots. (00:35:40)
Continuity mistake: There is a shot from a distance when Link, Facade, and Zelda are talking when they first meet the Prince. There is nothing on the ground next to them at all. Then suddenly when Link sees the Ruby and Prince Facade snatches it before Link can, it was sitting on the ground right where they were standing. (00:34:35)
Continuity mistake: As Zelda is being two faced with Link when she is awestruck by Prince Facade, she tries to introduce Link and has him stand up. Her right arm is bent as she gestures to Link to stand, but her left arm is down by her side straight. The next shot, her left arm is suddenly bent, with her fist balled. (00:34:00)
Continuity mistake: Link lassos the Octorok with a rope. The Octorok then drags Link out of the village and they meet up with Prince Facade. The Octorok still has the rope on it as it fires a blast at Facade. Then it picks up Link and suddenly the rope has vanished. It is nowhere to be seen after the Octorok is zapped also. (00:33:35)
Continuity mistake: While dragging Link behind it, the Octorok comes across Prince Facade. The first two shots showing the Prince on his horse, the horse is facing to the right. But then the Octorok fires a blast at Prince Facade and suddenly the horse is facing left as he deflects the blast with his shield. (00:33:20)
Continuity mistake: The Octorok keeps changing the amount of teeth it has from 4 to 8 and back to 4 over and over again. (00:32:25)
Continuity mistake: As the Octorok picks up Link its mouth is open. The shot then changes to it about to throw Link, and suddenly its mouth is shut. (00:32:05)
Continuity mistake: As Link is launched through the air towards the Tin Suits, it shows the Tin Suits making a V shape with their formation. Watch the one on the left of the guy at the bottom of the V. He has his body facing left. The shot changes to Link landing and now it is facing right. (00:30:40)
Continuity mistake: Earlier shots show that the house where the wheelbarrow is has another house beside it on the right side, a little distance away from it. After the Octorok has shown up, there is a shot of Zelda by the wheelbarrow house. The camera pans to the right over to the Octorok. During the pan shot, that second house has vanished. (00:32:00)
Continuity mistake: Link knocks one of the Tin Suits to the ground after seeing the ruby appear. He steps over one of the Tin Suit's legs going to get the ruby. As he does, the Tin Suit's legs are both down flat. But the shot changes to a close up before it trips Link, and suddenly its knees are up. (00:31:35)
Continuity mistake: One of the Tin Suits throws its spear at Link and knocks Link's sword into the air. It comes down and stabs the top of a house sticking up. The distance from it and the top of the roof looks to be about two feet, give or take a few inches. But the next shot from a distance, the distance between the sword and the top of the house is now about half that. (00:31:10)
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.
