Animal Crossingis no stranger to incredible tribute islands. A few months ago,one fan turned their island into a scene straight out ofResident Evil Village. Fans are able to make these homages thanks to many ofNew Horizonsfurniture, clothing options, and custom patterns. This allows for fans to be as creative as they can be, allowing them to create islands like this.
This island was created by created by @namico_x on Twitter, which showed off some photos of the island. These photos are of the newest area added to their island, heavily based on Hollow Bastion, one of thecentral worlds of the originalKingdom Hearts. This can be seen with the many custom designs that show off the elements that are present in the castle, with the regal heart motif being on the floor tiles and giant castle.
The tweet itself congratulatesSora for joining the roster ofSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, with photos of Villagers dressed as Sora, Cloud, and Sephiroth also being present on the Hollow Bastion island set piece. These three are involved in some of the most iconic parts of the first twoKingdom Heartsgames, encapsulate theFinal Fantasyinfluence in those games, and are all playable inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateto boot.
The last photo shows off where Hollow Bastion is located on this fan’sAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsisland. It includes other places that pay tribute to worlds such as Twilight Town, Destiny Islands, and even some of the Disney-inspired locations such as Agrabah, Atlantica, and Halloween Town. The fan was generous enough to provide the dream code, so fellow fans are able to visit and take in the magical experience. Based on the many tweets responding to this, many fans were very impressed and loved theKingdom Heartstribute.
