Unicorn, mythological animal resembling a horse or a goat with a single horn on its forehead. The unicorn appeared in early Mesopotamian artworks, and it also was referred to in the ancient myths of India and China. Searching for unicorn myths is a bit like searching for unicorns themselves. Before you even begin the hunt, you don't expect to find anything. The truth is, unlike almost every single other mythical creature, the unicorn does not appear anywhere in any culture's actual mythology.

The Unicorn is a character featured in the episode 'Sing for the Unicorn' of The Legend of Zelda TV series. Belonging to Sing, it was stolen from her by Ganon. The evil magician uses it to fly around Hyrule and capture King Harkinian, taking him as a hostage in the Underworld.[1]
When Link and Princess Zelda see Ganon riding the creature, they begin to question where he got the unicorn from since 'beautiful creatures aren't his style.'[2] Eventually, the young duo bump into Sing in the Underworld, who explains that she is trying to rescue her unicorn that Ganon stole from her.[1] The heroes find that the Unicorn is being guarded by Moblins, which Sing easily defeats with her sai.[3] With her unicorn rescued, she uses it to save King Harkinian from his doom in a so-called pit room.[4]
At the end of the episode, Sing waves goodbye to the King, Zelda and Link as she's riding away on her unicorn.

The unicorn footage is definitely NOT from Legend, although it is easy to see why the rumor is so persistent, as the imagery looks quite a lot like that of 'Legend'.

Unicorn Legend Movie
When plans were made to make a DC, Scott insisted the footage be reinserted. Unfortunately, by that time, the intended unicorn footage had disappeared. However, one particular shot - an out-take from the original footage that had been discarded by Ridley Scott in 1982 - was found. That shot was cleaned up and colour-corrected, and became that particular BR scene we all know and love.. ;-)

Note: A considerable amount of original footage was rediscovered when preparing to make the Blade Runner Special Edition. It is quite possible therefore that we may yet see more of the original unicorn sequence!
