Revealing mistake: In the opening titles, Zelda opens a door and shows Link the Triforce of Wisdom. The designs on the door are badly drawn and misshapen. (00:00:05)
Revealing mistake: During the title sequence, Zelda explains to Link that Ganon is after both Triforce and if he gets it he will rule this land forever. She leans towards him putting her hands on him, and for a couple frames of animation, the area of her pants shown between the straps of the pouch on her side turn brown like the pouch as well. The animators didn't color that spot correctly for that frame. (00:00:20)
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.
