Somewhere in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons community, a player has shared their recreation of a scene from one of the trailers for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Nintendo’s desert island life sim has proven to be quite a versatile means for players to express themselves, and it’s been great for paying homage to other franchises as well.

Zelda fans were treated to some long-awaited news this past week regarding The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s upcoming sequel. Following the latest Nintendo Direct, where Tears of the Kingdom’s title and release date were finally announced, excitement for the game has skyrocketed within the community, leading fans to express that excitement in various ways, like pouring over every detail in the newest trailer and, of course, creating fan art. Joining this trend is Reddit user Naydinfar-Crossing, who terraformed their Animal Crossing: New Horizons island to resemble the landscape shown in a shot from Tears of the Kingdom’s second trailer.
