On rare ocassions, in a work of fiction, there are certain inconsistencies in regards of some events, design or the placement of some characters or elements in a particular place. In popular culture, these inconsistencies are known as '''goofs''' or '''mistakes'''. Though infrequently, some mistakes have been present in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], although these details are hardly a detriment for the development of the plot or realism. Some types of mistakes may include:
 
  +
|summary= [[Syrup#A_Link_to_the_Past|Syrup]], as she appears in the game
 
  +
|game= ALTTP
*Mistranslations (words or sentences with grammar inaccuracies).
 
  +
|source=
*Errors of continuity in a scene.
 
  +
|licensing= Copyright
*Instances that accidentally ''[[Help:Glossary#F|break the fourth wall]]'', and so on.

}}
 
<!-- NOTE: Please don't include timeline-related inconsistencies. Without the confirmation of a complete chronology of the games, every element related to it is equally subject to be a mistake as to not be.-->
 
 
==''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]''==
 
 
*The game shows numerous translation errors in the original NES version, such as [[Ganon]] being spelled '''Gannon''' or, in the Credits scene, several of the developers' names being altered. See [[The Legend of Zelda (Game)#Mistranslations|here]] for a complete list.
 
 
==''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''==
 
 
*In [[Kasuto|New Kasuto]], an Old Lady asks Link whether or not he has "the 7 Magic Containers". However, there are only ''four'' (including the one inside the Lady's house) in the game, as the initial four bars of magic Link has at first are default.
 
 
==''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''==
 
 
*In [[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly|the inside of Jabu-Jabu's Belly]], when [[Princess Ruto]] tries to get [[Spiritual Stones|her mother's possession]], Zora's Sapphire, the platform she lands upon rises and then lowers with her absent, as she is hijacked by a [[Big Octo]]. The error comes when Link defeats [[Barinade]] in a floor lower than the one where Ruto was last seen and then enters the exit portal ''with Ruto waiting for him''. It's unknown when or how she managed to get past the in-between obstacles.
 
 
*In the [[Fire Temple]], [[Darunia]] asks Link to rescue the imprisoned [[Goron]]s who are going to be offered to the evil [[Volvagia]]. After the request, the aforementioned Sage of Fire gets past the Boss door ''without having the Boss Key'' (which is guarded by a chest near one of the imprisoned Gorons). A possible explanation is that he has a replica of the Boss Key, but in that case, why didn't he leave the door open so that Link could enter as well after rescuing the imprisoners?
 
 
*Despite the removal of the Rumble Feature in the Virtual Console version, the [[Stone of Agony]] is still present, despite not being able to help Link find secrets anymore.
 
 
==''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''==
 
 
*In [[Romani Ranch]], the entrance wooden arch says in Japanese (and writen in Hylian) "Welcome to Kakariko Village". The reason for this is because the game reuses several elements from ''Ocarina of Time'', but the developers forgot to properly change the lead text of the arch.
 
 
*In the [[Nintendo 64]] version of the game, when [[Romani and Cremia#Cremia|Cremia]] hugs Link after he defends her reserves of milk from the [[Gorman Brothers]] after the first time, the comment on the scene has a typo mistake: "You feel all warm and fuzzy! inside!".
 
 
*In [[Ikana Canyon]], a [[Garo]] ninja tells Link that, "every two minutes", [[Pamela]] exits from her house as long as there aren't [[Gibdo|evil spirits]]. The in-game [[Termina Clock]] reads those real life minutes as ''hours'', meaning that this is an advice that breaks the fourth wall.
 
 
*When Link arrives to the [[Moon]] (which only occurs between 12:00am and 5:59am in the [[Final Day]]) and checks his [[Bombers' Notebook]], he will notice the flat blue line indicating that it's supposedly 6:00am, ''earlier'' than the time of arrival. The only possible explanation for this is that the Notebook tries to indicate that it's 6:00am in the [[Fourth Day]], except this day is not included in the aforementioned logbook recorder.
 
 
==''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''==
 
 
*How could [[Lenzo]] take a [[pictography]] of [[Ganondorf]]? And, assuming the King of Evil accepted to be portrayed in a picture, what would motivate Lenzo to pay him a visit in the first place, seeing as ''he said Link that no one should get close to the [[Forsaken Fortress]]''?
 
 
*If the current shape of the [[Greatfish Isle]] is originated from Ganondorf having nuked it, then how can the [[Special Chart#Ghost Ship Chart|Ghost Ship Chart]] and the [[Triforce Chart]] pinpointing its treasure there portray the island with it having ''the exact same shape''?
 
 
*The [[Special Chart#Island Hearts Chart|Island Hearts Chart]] shows correctly the number of [[Heart Container|Heart Piece]]s in each island, with the exception of [[Windfall Island]]. There are ''eight, not nine'', Pieces there. The accidentally-added one is actually received in [[Greatfish Isle]] from the Goron merchant. It is true that the [[Island Trading Sequence]] starts in Windfall Island, but the ultimate prize of it is still elsewhere.
 
 
*Usually, when Link feeds a [[Fishman]] swimming near an island, it will be marked in the [[Sea Chart]] as visited, then the Fishman gives information about the island or something else; and when the same fish is fed again, he complains about Link's tendency to always give the same type of [[All-Purpose Bait]]. A mistake related to this happens in [[Outset Island]], [[Forsaken Fortress]], [[Windfall Island]] and [[Dragon Roost Island]]. The first three islands are already marked in the Sea Chart since the beginning of the game, and Dragon Roost Island is marked by the local Fishman for free (without having to feed him). In the four cases, however, when Link attracts the Fishmen of those islands with the bait ''for the first time'', they will argue that he already fed them with the same bait, thus complaining in the same way a Fishman fed twice does.
 
 
==''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''==
 
 
*What did the [[Bulblin]]s see behind [[Ilia|Ilia's]] hand during the monsters' invasion to the province of [[Ordon]]? It couldn't have been any fragment of the [[Triforce]], as all of them are ''already owned'' by, respectively, [[Link]], [[Princess Zelda]] and [[Ganondorf]].
 
 
*Was the [[Bridge of Eldin]] broken in the past, or did the game's developers forget to only include its two fissures after the central part was removed? Even before the [[Shadow Beast]]s warp said part to [[Gerudo Desert]], the bridge still has the two large fissures, ''exactly'' delimiting what is later removed.
 
 
*Arguably irrelevant, but how did the [[Postman]] reach the last floor of the [[Cave of Ordeals]] alive ''and unharmed by the numerous enemies and monsters from the other 49 floors''?
 
 
==''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''==
 
 
*It is told to Link that, every time an earthquake occurs in [[Mercay Island]], the southern bridge breaks and has to be repaired; indeed, this is the case at the start of the game. However, when the young hero is looking for the third [[Sea Chart]], another earthquake occurs and ''the bridge remains intact''. Was the repair process quicker this time?
 
 
*After Link places the three white crystals from the [[Temple of the Ocean King]] in the pedestals in a secret order in floor nine, then goes to the room housing the aforementioned third Sea Chart, an earthquake occurs. Already having the above contradiction, this earthquake makes the ninth floor be superseded by the tenth floor. However, if the latter is in the same level where the former was, wouldn't it be technically the new ''floor nine''? Yet the map still identifies it as the tenth floor.
 
 
==[[The Legend of Zelda (TV series)|TV animated series]]==
 
{{noncanon}}
 
*In one scene of the episode [[Fairies in the Spring]], when Link and Zelda are speaking to the King, the animation cel is off-center and the edge of the film strip is visible.
 
*In one scene of the episode [[The Missing Link]], when Ganon and the Stalfos are talking in the Evil Jar, Ganon's mouth is moving when a Stalfos is speaking.
 
*In one scene of the episode [[Doppelganger]], when Link and Zelda's evil clone are carrying the Triforce of Wisdom inside Ganon's castle, after the evil clone kisses Link, his mouth moves when she is speaking.
 
*In another scene of Doppelganger, Zelda's outfit is miscolored and she appears to be the evil clone.
