Legacy Animation system

Unity's Legacy animation system (Legacy) has a limited feature set that predates Mecanim. Legacy uses the Animation component and the special Legacy import option in the Rig tab of the Import Settings window. Legacy is less complex for simple animation. Legacy is still available for backward compatibility with old Unity projects.
