Unused Animations

This is a sub-page of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

To do:

Deku Butler has an unused animation that doesn't play due to a bug in the code. Even if the bug didn't exist, said animation is barely visible with the default camera settings from the cutscene (see Skawo's 'Why This Majora's Mask Animation Is Broken' video)

Bank Closing#

Using a series of glitches, it's possible to enter the West Clock Town used in the credits of the game and then use the 0th Day glitch to see the Bank close. What's interesting to note is that the wooden wall clips into the signs, which may suggest that the animation was made earlier than the decoration. A file named Obj_Shutter at number 0151, is an unused actor that would be related to the closing and opening of the bank. The bank was originally scheduled to open at 10 am and close at 8 pm.

Zelda's Animations#

To do:

Isn't 0x000654 a OoT leftover? (anim_matsu)
Is 0x011294 cze_fue_wait?

Watch on YouTubePrincess Zelda's object contains 48 animations altogether. While seven of them were used in-game, 32 animations are leftovers from Ocarina of Time, and 9 were specifically created for Majora's Mask, but never used. These are shown in the table below.

Majora's Mask 3D has filenames for all of these (in /actors/zelda2_zl.gar.lzs/anim in the RomFS). All animations containing "fue" in the filename refer to the action of Zelda playing a flute. While this idea didn't make it into the final game, a model of a flute exists within her object.

Great Fairy's Unused Cutscenes Animations#
