Cold Spells - S1-E2

Audio problem: When Ganon gets to the Triforce of Wisdom and is about to take it, he says "The Triforce is mine!". He then says "When combined with my own Triforce..." As he begins saying the second part, his mouth stops moving for a second. (00:23:20)

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After the water washes Link and Zelda out of the tower, they are by the stairs. During this part while they talk, they keep changing distance and location from the stairs between shots, most notably the far shot when Link hands Zelda some shrunken weapons. (00:23:00)

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Zelda has her hand on a large brown rug on a rack as she hears Spryte scream. Buckets with wings fly out and down past her and the shot changes to a closer view. When this happens, the brown rug is significantly smaller than just a few shots before. (00:22:20)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: As Spyte's spells go haywire and things lose control, a rag flies out of a bucket and takes shape to kick the fairy. As it comes out of the bucket, it is a pale green color. The next shot of it attacking Spryte, it is white. (00:22:05)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Just after Ganon zaps Spryte, Link is in his room practicing with his sword saying 'take that, Ganon'. He is moving past some widows and some flowers come into view between the two windows. The shot cuts to him jumping to kick a chair, and the flowers vanish. (00:25:35)

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Other mistake: After Ganon zaps Spryte with a spell to make her spells go crazy, he begins laughing. Watch closely at this point. Just above his hand, the only one visible at this time, a random black line like thing just appears and begins moving up. It has a couple spasms in its movement as well. I cannot tell what it is, and it is definitely not a bug. Whatever it is, it's not supposed to be there. (00:20:20)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Before Ganon gets to the castle, it shows several people by the fountain cleaning. There are two racks beside a doorway, one having an orange rug on it, and the other a blue one. Spryte comes out and begins dusting a different rug. Shot changes back, and now the racks with those rugs are gone. (00:19:40)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After the bird reports to Ganon, he turns to the 'Evil Jar' and snaps his fingers. The bird is right beside him. But the shot changes to a far view, and the bird is gone. Then, after about two seconds, without the shot even changing, the bird suddenly appears beside him. Just poof, back out of thin air. (00:18:50)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: A bird flies into Link's room and attacks Zelda. As it swoops in, its tail feathers are solid brown, and the tips are squared off. They look this way all the time, except when it lands in the dirty clothes and Zelda forces its head into it. This shot shows the tips of the tail feathers a bluish white, and are pointed. (00:17:15)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: As Zelda stands next to the pile of dirty clothes in Link's room after the Triforce speaks to her, there is no table standing beside Link's bed. But when the bird attacks and she falls on the bed, there is suddenly a table beside the bed which has a blue vase on it that she smacks the bird with. (00:16:55)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The distance between Link and the door becomes much shorter from when Zelda tosses him the mop, and when he begins walking inside. He is a good length away at first, but shot changes to him walking and he takes only 3 small steps to enter. He also comes through the middle door when he was just in front of the door on the left. (00:16:00)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: As Zelda tosses Link a mop, there is a fireplace with a cauldron in it visible behind her. When the shot changes to Link walking into the room, the fireplace and cauldron have drastically grown in size. It then shrinks back down again as he begins mopping. (00:16:15)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After fighting off the bird in Link's room, Zelda sits on his bed for a moment. The sheets are gold when she does. Moments later, Link sees her and tries to tackle her for a kiss but she moves and he hits the bed. Now the sheets are white. (00:17:45)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The establishing shot of Link and Zelda shows a doorway behind them. You can see the floor stretch back a ways but there is nothing visible on it. A few shots later as Zelda is backing into the room, you can now see a nearby table with chairs, as well as a mop right on the doorway threshold that was not there a moment before. (00:15:50)

Quantom X

Cold Spells - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The first shot showing Link and Zelda, they are standing in front of some doorways. It is bright out and you can see in the doorways no problem as bright as day. The shot changes to Link handing Zelda a flower and the doorway behind her is now pitch black. The arched stones around the door are also much smaller, and the door is shorter too. (00:15:40)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Link and Zelda try to kiss after they defeat Ganon. Their faces get very close together when Spryte interrupts them. They both look at Spyte while their faces are close together. Next shot from a little distance, and suddenly Link and Zelda's faces are further apart. (00:14:45)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Zelda and Link sling shoot through the air to catch Ganon. They land in the road and Link's back is towards the side of the road as Zelda lands on him. Next shot, his back is going along the same direction as the road. They turned 90 degrees in an instant. (00:12:00)

More quotes from The Legend of Zelda

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.

The White Knight - S1-E3

Question: In this episode, Link is in a town that is attacked by an Octoroc and several large minions that appear to be a red and white knight in armor sort of thing. Link attacks and calls them by their name. It sounds like he is saying Tin Suits. But I am unsure. And there is no option for captions or subtitles on the DVD. Is Tin Suits what he says or is he calling them something else?

Quantom X

Chosen answer: He does in fact call them Tinsuits.
