The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker/Unused NPC Animations

This is a sub-page of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

This page sucks. If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome. Specifically: It seems that this page was in development at some point, but was never finished. This is evident by the various placeholders that exist on where info should have been. Someone with technical knowledge would be useful to clean it up

Pm.arc	Poor Maggie	✔

This is the archive file for Poor Maggie. While used, it contains some unused resources.

Poor Maggie

Talk

Filename	Translation	Description
talk01.bck	Talk 01	Talk

You normally cannot talk to Maggie while she is poor, as she only appears during cutscenes. Though it is possible to talk to her in one of the character test maps, it doesn't trigger this animation. The fact that the animation exists suggests that either she wasn't supposed to be kidnapped until sometime before the second Forsaken Fortress trip, or that you could talk to her during her fortress imprisonment.

Most definitely a test animation: Ganon just t-poses, slightly moves his legs and head, and opens-closes his mouth.

Princess Zelda

These sleeping animations aren't used, as a copy of Zelda's model (albeit only her head) is included with the model for the bed sheet. They cannot even be used with the bed model, as it features more bones than the standard Zelda model.

Quill

Quill doesn't normally appear in this cutscene, and his model is nowhere to be found within its archive. His animation files are copies of those found in Demo10.arc, the archive file for the cutscene in which Link meets with the Rito chieftain, who discusses Valoo's behavior and gives Link the letter meant for Komali. Accordingly, they use a "10" prefix.

Syan.arc	Chan	✘

This is the archive file for an unused chandelier that appeared in the Spaceworld 2001 trailer.

The first animation doesn't seem to animate the model much besides separate the chandelier from the rope. The second animation also separates the chandelier from the rope but it is also a real animation. It makes the chandelier and rope swing together.

Both animations can be seen in the video below, at 0:46 and 1:15, respectively.
