Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Once Link frees Zelda, he says she is the only one that can change him back to normal. As he does, it cuts to a side view of them and suddenly Ganon's bed is on a completely different side of the stalactite and next to a wall, and the stalactite is by the wall which was not there before.

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Ganon's bed is first shown as the camera pans across it when he begins talking to Zelda, who's tied up. After the scene shows Link and Spryte sneaking into his lair, it cuts back to an overhead view of Ganon's bed and now the pillows on it have rearranged and the head board becomes taller and skinner. (00:11:45)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The ‘hair' protruding down from the top of the Witch of Wall's hood is gray, almost the same gray as the hood but slightly different. But when she grabs Frog Link's tongue and is holding it in the close up, her hair is now the same color as her ‘skin'. In that same shot her ‘skin' also appears more skin color where it was an off white previously. (00:10:30)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Link and Spryte first see the Witch of Walls, Spryte is hovering beside Link with her wings flapping. It cuts to the Witch for a moment, then back to them in a far shot, and now for some reason Spryte's wings are merely wiggling in the air, which would not keep her afloat. (00:10:05)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: After hearing Spryte scream, Ganon teleports into the cave area and looks around. As he does, an odd animation glitch of a blue spot suddenly appears above his head just to the right for a few frames and then vanishes. It's almost the size of his head. (00:12:05)

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: Spryte brings a robe out for Zelda, who looks over at the fairy from a side angle. That shot shows that her gown is still up over and covering her right shoulder. It cuts to a different angle before she puts the robe on and suddenly her right shoulder is exposed. (00:01:55)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Spryte brings out a robe for Zelda to put on, the ring of roses around her head changes, with there being fewer leaves, and the roses being more bunched up together and apparently more of them. The number and position of the leaves and roses is also never consistent through that whole scene. Sometimes leaves blinking in and out of existence as she moves her head. (00:01:55)

The Ringer - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: Link looks down from his window and sees Zelda. Zelda then has a bird fly up and land on her hand. It cuts to a different angle before Link whistles at her and for a few frames before Zelda moves her hand, the bird is now not even on her hand, but apparently just hovering in the air beside it. (00:01:45)

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: 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 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.
