Avatar: The Last Airbender's beloved intro has been recreated in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
You might be wondering how you turn a game about collecting furniture and landscaping a private island into a sprawling epic about a group of friends reshaping the fate of the world. The answer is "with a lot of carefully crafted outfits, tons of takes, and a few judicious visual effects added in post production."

The intro makes a few creative allowances by bringing in more familiar characters for certain scenes, but the whole thing is very much on point. And if you think about it, your New Horizons villager is already halfway to being the next Avatar once they unlock the Waterscaping and Cliff-Construction Permits for their Nook Phone. Now we just have to wait for Nintendo to add fire-scaping and air-scaping to the game and we'll be ready to keep balance between the four nations.
While the Avatar remake is their latest creation, the Nooksters have been busy remaking even more stuff in Animal Crossing: there's a Pokemon battle, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine intro, and even a trailer for Netflix's You (poor Raymond).
Speaking of unlikely crossovers, why not check out Danny Trejo showing off his Animal Crossing: New Horizons island?
