Swim

While Link's swimming animation is technically used, only his head is ever viewable due to all instances of water in this game being opaque. The rest of his body being obscured by the water, instead projecting as a black silhouette. However, certain test rooms do use transparent water, allowing the full animation to be seen, suggesting that this was not always the case.

Interestingly, if you L-target and swim left, right, or backwards, Link will use the same animations as he would on land.
