The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Right after the title of the show appears, Zelda opens the door to the room with the Triforce of Wisdom inside to show it to Link. In this shot, the emblem at the top of the door is in the shape of the letter M with wavy lines coming off the tips. Also the round posts at the top of the door are large and thick, and there is a rafter in the ceiling that's almost dead center above the point of the door top. But then in the first episode as Link is getting out of bed, with that same room now being his quarters, you can see the door again. Now the emblem on top is a circle, the posts are shorter and smaller, and the rafter on the ceiling has moved over a few feet to the left. (00:00:05 - 00:01:20)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The shot where the birds fly up to the castle shows that the tower Link is in has windows. There is one visible towards the top, and a few more on the second level. Later, when Link whistles at Zelda, it shows another exterior view of that same tower with Link in the top window. Now there are fewer windows on the lower level. (00:01:00 - 00:01:50)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: In Link's room, the shot of Zelda's portrait on the wall above a pitcher and cup shows that there is light shining through the window with beams visible in front of Zelda's picture. But then as Link is getting up out of bed, it shows that the window beside that spot is closed completely. (00:01:00)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As the camera pans over to Link asleep in bed, you can see his sword tucked under his pillow. His bed has no fitted sheet over it, just being apparently bare wood save for the sheet he's covered up with. It then cuts to a close up as he wakes up, and in frustration he picks his pillow up grumbling. His sword vanishes from under his pillow and now his bed has a sheet over it. (00:01:05)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link is getting out of his bed, the shot from behind him shows the opposite wall. You can see there are no windows there. The only window that can be seen is the one between his mirror and the table. Link gets up and complains to his mirror, then walks to that same wall. Now there are suddenly windows there, and a flower hanging by one. (00:01:15)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link sits up after he awakens. The shot from behind his back as he is sitting in his bed shows a table with a blue vase on it sitting next to the wall by his bed. It is out of his reach, even if he leaned. But then the shot changes as he is stretching and now the table is only just outside of arm's reach. Also the portrait of Zelda is closer and bigger. (00:01:15)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As Link wakes up, you can see there is a fitted sheet on his bed, as well as a regular sheet that he covers up with. He sits up and pushes the regular sheet back and gets up. The fitted sheet is still secure to his bed. But when he throws a Moblin at his bed, the fitted sheet is suddenly gone and it's just a wooden bed. (00:01:15 - 00:02:30)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link gets out of bed, you can see there is nothing on it but his sheets and pillow. But when Link throws the Moblin at the bed and hits it, suddenly Link's sword is on the bed where he was sleeping just moments before, and it gets launched. (00:01:20 - 00:02:30)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link gets out of bed in the beginning and the sheet is wadded up towards the foot but mostly on the bed. Later when the Moblins attack him, he throws one at the bed who lands in the sheets. The sheet is hanging off the bed much more now than it was. (00:01:20 - 00:02:30)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After Link kicks the Moblin in the face that's holding his feet, there is a shot from behind as the other Moblin holds his arms and this shows Link's bed. In this shot, the sheet on his bed has turned from blue to brown, and also is draped over the side much more. (00:01:20 - 00:02:25)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: In the wide shot as Link is sitting up in bed, the picture of Zelda on the wall shrinks in size significantly to what it was in the previous shot. Also the area around Zelda changes from blue to white. Also between shots the sheet beside him on the bed is bunched up differently. (00:01:20)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The far shot showing Link by the mirror before he talks into it, shows his bed has nothing beside the foot of it besides a door. During the Moblin fight, Link bounces off the wall next to the foot of his bed. The door is gone, and now there's a green trunk in its place. (00:01:25 - 00:03:20)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When the Moblins attack Link in his room through a sort of trap door, the hole that is the door keeps changing locations, shapes, and the tiles around it all throughout the fight. Some points even disappearing entirely. (00:01:25 - 00:03:40)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: There is a window between the mirror and table by Link's bed in Link's room. As he gets up out of the bed, the window is shut as he walks past it, and the ledge under it has nothing on it. Moments later when the Moblins come up through the floor and attack, the mirror is nearer the wall, the window is suddenly open, and now there are ring handle like things on the ledge, which is also now bigger and pushed out more into the room. (00:01:25 - 00:02:15)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link stands in front of his mirror with his arms folded, whining about his life. In this shot the top of the mirror is almost completely level with the posts. It cuts to a close up of his reflection and suddenly the top of the mirror is much taller than the top of the posts. Also it appears some bolts appear on the posts themselves and the one on the left is in the wrong position. (00:01:25)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link gets out of bed and is complaining about his new life in the castle. The Triforce of Wisdom is levitating on a pedestal. It is sparkling and glowing brightly. Link then steps in front of a mirror and the Triforce is seen in the mirror. The reflection shows no sparkles or any glowing. (00:01:30)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Link gets pinned to the wall by a Moblin and the camera pulls back in a different cut. In that shot the second window that was in the room earlier as Link was walking up to the first window has vanished. Also the window Link is at changes color from a green tinted wood to just brown. (00:01:35 - 00:02:10)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As Link is walking towards his window after getting out of bed, there's a shot showing two of the windows in his room. There are block-like extensions under the windows - a ledge with rings on them. In this shot, they are not the same. The one on the right is significantly bigger and taller than the one on the left. In the rest of the episode they are pretty much uniform in shape and size for all windows in that room. (00:01:35)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Link looks out of his window and sees Zelda below, he places his hands on the edge of his window. His right hand is out in the light. It then cuts to a behind the shoulder view and now his right hand is up further and in the shadows. (00:01:40)
The Ringer - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Zelda has on two red earrings at the start when she's standing on the balcony in her gown. When Link whistles at her, scaring the bird away, she turns and looks up. It cuts to an over the shoulder view from her to Link and her earrings disappear. (00:01:45)
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.
