A truly dedicated fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender has painstakingly recreated some of the franchise's best Fire Nation characters within the world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The scenes recreated in the game capture the look and feel of the show in a way only a true fan could get right.
The combination of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Animal Crossing: New Horizons is not that far-fetched, with each producing enormous audience numbers in 2020. When ATLA was released on Netflix back in May of this year, a full 12 years after finishing its original airing on Nickelodeon, the show became the most watched show on the streaming service after only a few days, and making history as the first title to spend 65 days in the top 10 streamed series on Netflix in what has been called a "stunning second life" for the series. Similarly, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has attracted the attention of over 22 million players as of June 2020. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is so popular that it has become the second best-selling game of all time in Japan, behind Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue.
The tribute was posted by Reddit user Omashu16 on the Animal Crossing subreddit, showcasing the Fire Nation Princess Azula and her two friends and fighting companions, Mai and Ty Lee. The details are perfect, with the reactions capturing the characters in their essence. In the past, Omashu16 has been responsible for other outstanding tributes to the series in Animal Crossing, including recreating the entirety of the show's intro. All of Omashu's recreations of Avatar scenes can be found on their Instagram.

This isn’t the first tribute to a beloved series recreated in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Shows such as Drake & Josh, Danny Phantom, The Loud House, Naruto and the US version of The Office have received the Animal Crossing treatment, along with games like Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. Fans have made other incredible creations Animal Crossing in addition to tributes. Electronic pop duo Sylvan Esso used the platform to create an entire music video for the new song “Ferris Wheel." Screenwriter Gary Whitta has also used the game to launch late-night talk show Animal Talking from the comfort of his own Animal Crossing: New Horizons island and streamed online on Twitter, Twitch, and YouTube. Nickelodeon has even launches a range of in-game Animal Crossing clothing inspired by some of the network's hit properties, including Avatar, Rugrats, SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Danger Force, and Garfield, as well as the iconic Nickelodeon logo!
Animal Crossing: New Horizons seems to be the perfect engine for fans to recreate their favorite shows and games, but it still takes lots of talent to get it right. The creator of this recent Avatar: The Last Airbender tribute has an eye for detail and the patience to recreate its characters as accurately as possible with the systems available in-game.
