Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: As the basket of fruit is flying through the air towards the camera, you can see inside it at the fruit and the fruit falling out as it flies. There is a single bundle of bananas with a banana pealing as well, lots of grapes, two apples inside the basket, some lemons, and a grapefruit. But when the camera changes angles as the basket is reaching the dragon, the fruit completely changes. The banana peel is now a full bundle of bananas, the apples disappear, a pineapple appears inside the basket, and there are a lot less grapes. (00:03:00)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: On the three headed dragon, once the middle head starts talking about how the girl looks good enough to eat, the head on the right (our perspective) suddenly passes through the neck of the middle head. In the same moment, the light green area on the left head's neck suddenly increases towards the base, making the dark green area disappear. (00:01:30)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The episode begins with the opening shot of Hyrule Castle, and also ends on a shot of Hyrule Castle. In the opening shot and then in the ending shot, the castle has changed up a bit. Most noticeably the vines on the side of the castle have vanished. The bushes around the walls of the castle have lessened. The trees around the castle have also changed. Also the number of windows above the entrance of the castle decreases, and most of the towers change in size and shape. Also an extra pointed tower appears on the right side. And finally the road leading to the castle becomes much more narrow. (00:00:45 - 00:15:05)

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.
