The love many players have for Animal Crossing New Horizons can inspire a lot of creativity, both in the game and outside of it. Whether people are building the popular LEGO sets based on the game, crocheting amigurumi of the villagers, painting works of art, or any other method of showcasing their talents, the imaginative outcomes can be both inspirational and uplifting. This game has become a haven for many during difficult times, securing a place in people's hearts and, in some cases, even a place in their physical homes.

Animal Crossing's LEGO sets have become incredibly popular, although many have struggled with coming up with a good way to display the finished pieces. One on Reddit, battlepants78, shared a truly magnificent layout they created for their wife's LEGO sets.

Battlepants78 states that the total size of this island is 70 inches by 37 inches, with space left open for future sets to be released. They have more plans of details they want to add, including more trees and adjustments to the layout, but the entire display is already beautifully made.

LEGO Animal Crossing Island Brings The Iconic Characters Into Your Home

LEGO Sets Combined With Creativity Make Magic

This isn't the first time that a fan has shared stunning recreations using the Animal Crossing LEGO sets, although it is perhaps one of the largest. The attention to detail with the river running through the back, complete with a bridge, and crashing waves on the beach make this LEGO creation come to life, allowing players to feel as though they are inside the video game itself. Even a winding stone path is seen guiding the eye through the island's buildings and trees, and a firepit in the plaza where KK Slider is performing for Isabelle.

Comments on the Reddit post include an outpouring of enthusiasm, such as jrtasoli's statement "This is magnificent, well done", and others who wish that there were additional sets, such as the Museum or collections of villager minifigs.

Our Take: Animal Crossing Fans Come Up With Some Amazing Things

It Goes Beyond Just Being A Game, Into A Work Of Art

Whether players are using the virtual world of Animal Crossing New Horizons to recreate memes or even real life locations, or use the video game as inspiration to craft tangible pieces of art in the real world, the creativity of the community is impressive. It is not uncommon for video games to inspire the imagination of talented individuals, but something about the wholesome and immersive world of Animal Crossing seems to have taken this a step further.

Perhaps due to so many of us using our islands to escape the stress of COVID-19, it has become something that many relate with. While not everyone has the creative ambitions, financial ability, or even space available to create stunning recreations of our islands in our real world, seeing these magnificent works shared online can bring a smile. Even five years after its release, Animal Crossing New Horizons continues to be a safe and welcoming home to inspire cheer and creativity.
