5 iconic items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a social simulation game that lets you live a virtual second life. It was released for the Nintendo Switch in 2020 and is the latest installment in the popular Animal Crossing series. In the game, you move to a deserted island with a couple of neighbors and Tom Nook, the raccoon entrepreneur who offers you a plan to expand their business.

Among the many objects available in the game, there are a few that stick out in the minds of players. Here is a list of five that we consider iconic because of their rarity and beauty.
