Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After jumping down, Link and Zelda take off to escape and run along a stone bridge towards a door. The bridge is curved towards the left. But then the same bridge is seen from Ganon's perspective, and suddenly the bridge is curved to the right. Also between shots the stones around the threshold of the door they are running to change in size, shape, and number. (00:14:10)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Once Ganon is gone, Link blasts a hole in the wall so he and Zelda can escape. When the dust clears, Link and Zelda are standing at the hole. It then cuts to a close up, and suddenly the shape of the hole changes, Spryte suddenly appears between them, and the color of the wall changes from purple, to a yellowy green. (00:14:05)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After defeating Ganon, Link and Zelda are standing in his bed chamber at the far side of the room. Link then blasts his sword laser at the opposite wall further away from them and blows a hole in it. The dust and debris settle only a split second later, yet when it does Link and Zelda are somehow instantly standing right at the opening he just made, despite them being on the far end of the large room when he fired the laser. (00:14:00)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Link blasts a hole in the floor big enough for Ganon to fall through easily. Moments later when Link and Zelda are about to make their escape, they are shown standing next to the same hole, which is now much smaller and not big enough for Ganon to have fallen through. (00:14:00)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The rug that falls over Ganon has blue areas on the inside, and are visible on it in areas bowed up as it is over Ganon. But when Ganon is falling through the hole, you see the under parts of the rug again, but now it is all brown with no blue. (00:13:40)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Link blasts the floor under Ganon after he is trapped under a rug and breaks a hole in the floor, Ganon falling through. You can see the thickness of the floor extends down out of sight. But when it cuts to a shot below the floor as Ganon is falling, you see the hole from under and the floor is suddenly much thinner. (00:13:50)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The rug falls over Ganon, and then the shot cuts to Link before he fires a sword laser at the ground under Ganon. When it cuts back to Ganon and the laser hitting, the wall behind Ganon has completely changed, and the floor stone pattern has also changed up a bit. (00:13:50)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Link fires a sword laser at Ganon and it hits a rug on the wall. When it flies at him, Zelda is standing next to Ganon. But when the rug falls on Ganon, she suddenly vanishes, and also the bricks on the column behind him become thicker. (00:13:45)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After Ganon blasts Link away from Zelda before they kiss, Ganon begins trying to grab her. They hardly move from that one spot though. Then when Link is turned back into an elf from frog, he blasts a laser at Ganon and suddenly, a rug magically appears on the wall next to Ganon and Zelda to fall on Ganon, and the wall itself also just appears next to them. (00:13:10 - 00:13:45)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Once Link is returned to normal by Spryte's kiss, her draws his sword and fires a laser at a rug on the wall behind Ganon. It is on a flat wall and begins to fall, but the camera cuts to a closer angle and suddenly the spot directly behind Ganon where the rug fell from has a column in the wall. (00:13:40)

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)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Link and Zelda are battling the skeletons, each time a skeleton is blasted away, it dissolves into itself leaving a white silhouette for a split second before vanishing, like it’s vaporized. It does this for each and every one, except one. During the fight, Link blocks two skeleton attacks at the same time and flings them up into the air, and then blasts them with sword lasers. They are side by side in the air, and the first one is blasted and dissolves away the same way, but the second one, when hit with the laser, just instantly vanishes. No dissolve or slow fade. Just poof and gone, which is inconsistent with anything else we saw previously or after this. (00:12:55)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After Ganon is thrown from his skeleton drawn throne, he summons more of his skeleton minions through an underworld entrance cave that pops up from the ground in the middle of the road. Link hands Zelda the bone bow as it pops up and she looks back surprised at it. In this shot, the cave entrance is a perfect triangle shape, and there are no horn structures above the opening. Then it cuts to a closer view of the entrance as the Skeletons begin marching out. Now the underworld entrance has more curved shapes to it rather than strange lines making it triangle, and horn like structures appear above the opening. The rubble around the opening that came up from the road as it rose up also changes in shape. (00:12:35)

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)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Right in the beginning of the title sequence, Zelda and Link walk into a room and see the Triforce of Wisdom. Zelda even says it is the Triforce of Wisdom. It is green. But throughout the entire show in the episodes, the Triforce of Wisdom is shown as blue. (00:00:05)

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.

More trivia for The Legend of Zelda

The Ringer - S1-E1

Question: Once Zelda and Link confront Ganon on the road, he summons more skeletons up and they surround Link and Zelda. 7 Skeletons against Link and Zelda. So what's Link's plan of action? He takes off his belt and wraps it around himself and Zelda, strapping them together back to back to fight the 7 skeletons. This to me seems like it would just hinder their mobility. So my question is what is the really point of Link strapping himself to Zelda like that while surrounded? does it actually make sense to do that?

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.
