That staircase in the Zelda video is the first time I remember thinking about 3D animation in games as I spent several minutes walking up and down the stairs observing the inverse kinematics. Now, in every game I play, I check if they added that or just stick to the unaltered run cycle.

I think my favorite is sliding up stairs in Castlevania 64 or doing the backwards moonwalk up the stairs in Castlevania 4.
Rolling up stairs in mgs3 as well.

I’m pretty sure the player animation is fully procedural in this game! That’s why it looks so floppy. It’s really cool how adaptive it is because of that. Other Team Ico games handle it the same way, too.
