The Ringer - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: Link ducks a blow from the Moblin’s staff that breaks the vase on the table next to him. The shock knocks the picture of Zelda off the wall that falls and shatters when it hits the table. Some of the debris fall off the side, but then inexplicably just hovers in the air. A small part of the picture frame hovering in the air on the left of the screen. You can tell this is just the animation of the breaking picture was not finished, as part of the debris also flies up above it and just freezes in mid air. (00:03:00)

Continuity mistake: The Moblin that was hit with the pillow is seen standing next to the door in one shot with a mouth full of feathers. He is standing with a slight hunch and his head is bent down slightly. The very next shot cuts to him spitting the feathers out, but he is already leaning back to inhale between the shots. (00:03:05)

Continuity mistake: During the fight with the Moblins, the one with the staff breaks the vases on the table next to Link's bed. This also causes the painting of Zelda to fall and break. A few shots later, the vase and painting are back where they are supposed to be and perfectly fine. Throughout the fight, the painting keeps changing from fixed to broken, and even how much it's broken constantly. (00:03:10)

Continuity mistake: Shortly after Link fights the Moblin with the staff, and the vase and painting of Zelda are broken, it shows the Moblin he threw at his bed earlier still under the sheet and struggling to get out. The Moblin is suddenly much further from Link's bed than before and is where Link was fighting the staff Moblin moments before. (00:03:10)

Continuity mistake: The Moblin Link hit with the pillow and has feathers in his mouth is seen standing by the door. He spits out the feathers and draws his sword. Couple shots later, he is suddenly standing next to Link's bed, totally away from the door, and then begins charging. (00:03:15)

Continuity mistake: During the Moblin fight, Link jumps off the wall next to his bed and there is a green trunk that he gets his clothes off later. But as Zelda is walking into the room looking at the destruction, it completely vanishes. (00:03:20 - 00:04:10)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link fires sword lasers at the first two Moblins, to his right is the broken table, Zelda's painting, the window, and his bed. It cuts to the lasers zapping the Moblins, and then back to Link. The shot is at about the same angle as the previous shot, but now there is nothing beside Link but the wall and now the Triforce pedestal is behind him. (00:03:25)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As Link charges up his sword laser, the picture of Zelda is shown behind him leaning to the right. Then the next shot as he is turning around to shoot the Moblins, the picture is now leaning to the left. Also the table's legs are suddenly broken between shots. (00:03:25)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link puts the pillow over the Moblin's head that has the staff and jumps back. The Moblin with the sword runs into the other Moblin and they both fall over. Link then holds up his sword to change his zap laser and begins blasting the Moblins. The shot cuts back to those two Moblins lying down on the ground trying to get up. The staff, sword, and pillow have all vanished. (00:03:30)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link begins shooting sword lasers at the Moblins to finish them of. The last one comes up behind Link as he is kneeling down. Without turning around, Link lifts the sword over his head and fires the laser behind him. The Moblin vanishes and drops a Magic Bow. Then, Without getting up or turning around, Link reaches down in front of him to pick up the bow. (00:03:40)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: In the fight with the Moblins, Link bounces off a wall and it shows a green trunk by his bed. There is nothing on or in front of the trunk. After Link finishes the fight and gets the bow, he goes to the trunk which now has his boots in front of it, and his tunic and other supplies on top of it. (00:03:45)

Continuity mistake: Zelda knocks on the door and Link goes to it. The metal designs that resemble arrows on the door drastically change in size between shots, and change shape a little. (00:03:55)

Continuity mistake: When Link opens the door to let Zelda in to his room and gets slapped, his shadow disappears off the wall and the door. (00:04:00)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: As Link leans in to kiss Zelda, he gets slapped. Watch closely at the top left of the screen. A random blue dot appears for a split second as he is slapped and then vanishes. (00:04:05)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As Zelda knocks on the door and Link goes to it, he has a satchel draped over his shoulder with the buckle to his back. As he turns to open the door, you see the buckle at the very end of the strap with nothing running through it. The shot changes to him opening the door and leaning in to kiss Zelda, right before he is slapped, and you see there is some of the strap now running through the buckle and hanging past it. This changes back and forth a couple more times during this scene. (00:04:05)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link is slapped by Zelda, his cheek turns red and he begins rubbing it. The shot cuts to a close up of his face and the redness is instantly gone. (00:04:10)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Zelda walks into Link's room and folds her arms, asking if he ever cleans in here. It cuts to a close up of her before Link retorts and a couple things change. Most notably the tie/ribbon of her bath robe has the ends down together almost straight, but then in the close up are spread apart. Then the flowers on her head are big and only 3 visible until it cuts to a close up and they are smaller, and more. And finally in the close up her left hand becomes visible under her right arm where it wasn't before. Also the sheet on the bed post hanging up changes slightly in how it's tied and wrinkled, as well as going from a light blue to almost white. (00:04:10)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Zelda walks into the room after the Moblin fight, the room is much messier than shown at any other point during or after the fight. (00:04:15)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Once Zelda walks into Link's room after slapping him, you get a good look at the debris and destruction supposedly caused by the fight. But through their entire conversation before Zelda leaves, the broken items and debris constantly change locations and amount. (00:04:15 - 00:05:10)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Once Zelda walks into Link's room and they start talking about the mess and the Moblin attack, during their entire conversation the two of them keep moving around to different spots in the room depending on the angle. Without themselves moving. Sometimes closer to the bed, sometimes closer to the closed window, sometimes facing the open window then the closed window, and Zelda's position to the stand the Triforce sits on is always different between shots. (00:04:15 - 00:05:10)
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.
