Iconic figures in olderAnimal Crossingtitles, it seemed like it was only a matter of time until the devs made the high-definition version of the little creatures. Now,fans look like they are thoroughly enjoying each new Gyroid they discover, and have even started making real-life versions of them. Recently, a fan shared that they received a gift from a fellowAnimal Crossingfan which were a handful of handmade Gyroid figures.
ThoughAnimal Crossinghas had Gyroidssince its Nintendo 64 days, players who only started the series withACNHare likely wondering about the form and function of these creatures. Historically, they served different functions such as being the game’s save point, a mailbox of some sort, or a donation box to fund a town project. However, inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, they mainly serve as collectibles that players can trade with others in the community. Even so, the new Gyroids are quite adorable, which makes it easy to understand why fans seem to love making content about them.
