Animal Crossing: New Horizons encourages players to enjoy the simple things in life, like one player who shared a perfect screenshot of their villager spying on a frog. Fans of Animal Crossing: New Horizons have continued to share their excitement over other players' discoveries and how they build up their villages over the years, making the game a favorite since its 2020 release.
Redditor moominesque posted a screenshot of their villager looking excitedly at a frog on a lily pad to the Animal Crossing subreddit. The angle of the shot, which kept moominesque's Animal Crossing: New Horizon's villager and the frog as the subjects, makes it appear as if someone stumbled on them with a camera in hand.
The screenshot also times with the villager's excited emote, making it look more like a natural snapshot and less like it was taken from the player's perspective on the screen. It's a creative use of a somewhat limited camera system that highlights the personality of New Horizons.
