We’ve all seen the success and accolades that Animal Crossing New Horizons has achieved. Even five years after its release, the game is still selling well, and there are still a lot of players who are still collecting bells, building their own islands, and interacting with villagers.

But even after all this time, the game is still missing some of the things that players have been asking for. For example, furniture that collaborates with other themes under the developer's umbrella has been very popular with players in previous games in the series.

In Animal Crossing games in the series, collectibles, including NES, can be obtained from villagers or found in their hiding places.

Subsequent games were also well-received by players and paid tribute to classic theme characters many times. For example, some related-themed villagers appeared in 3DS Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and Epona, Ganon and Medli are all from The Legend of Zelda, and much furniture and decorations with the theme appeared in New Leaf.

Many fans are confused as to why characters and items from other classic titles, which are so popular, don’t return to the game? From the comments of some game communities and forum players, it can be seen that many fans are eager for these well-loved characters and related Animal Crossing New Horizons Items to return in the game.

Not only that, but a recent post describing the lack of crossover characters in ACNH shows that fans have been asking where these popular characters are and why they are not in the game since day one. But this question has not been answered yet.

How Crossover Characters Appeared In New Leaf?

Some crossover themed characters and amiibo dolls have been added to the 3DS version of New Leaf, and we can add villagers by scanning amiibo dolls.

We can collect crossover characters from The Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, Sanrio, and even Seven-Eleven in Welcome Amiibo, which brings a great chance for the game to sell well.

Crossover Characters Are Unlikely To Return In New Horizons

Developers are constantly releasing new Amiibo figures to meet fan demand and expectations, but ACNH has inexplicably yet to release the crossover characters that fans are eager to see.

It's still difficult to get a license for a brand like Sanrio, but the developer owns its own characters, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get a license, and the developer can also sell more high-priced Legend of Zelda amiibo dolls to game fans.

From the current situation, it is unlikely that we will see these crossover characters return in New Horizons.

Although the new game of the game has not yet been announced, there are still many fans who are looking forward to hearing about its sequel. Its sequel is expected to be launched on the Switch 2 platform one after another.

If crossover characters returns with a new game, it will be unlikely to introduce a major update like Ganon in New Horizons.

This way, we can try to expect to see these favorite characters return in the next new game.
