Moi2 - Rusl#

One of Rusl's archive files contains three unused animations related to an earlier version of the game, when Link would have stolen the Ordon Sword by pouncing on the village father, rather than using his wolf form's digging powers to steal it from inside the house. This state of events is also referenced by some unused text for Midna.

Dog in a Canoe#

Two dog NPCs exists in Twilight Princess, neither of which exist within the same maps that use one of the two usable canoes in the game. Because of this, two dog behaviors go completely unused: one jumping into the canoe and riding in it with Link and the other jumping out of the canoe onto land. This behavior can be seen in this magazine screenshot. The animation of the dog jumping in and out of the boat is just other (used) animations played in a sequence while the dog moves towards the boat.
