Restarting your Animal Crossing: New Horizons island is pretty simple but brace yourself to say goodbye to your current villagers! First, launch the game from the Nintendo Switch Home menu. Once you're at the title screen, press and hold the '-' button on your left Joy-Con to access the settings. Tom Nook will show up to chat about your options. Just tell him you wanna restart your island, and he'll guide you through the process. Remember, this wipes everything clean, so make sure you're ready for a fresh start!

Just a heads up, restarting means EVERYTHING goes bye-bye. Your villagers, items, and bells will vanish like they never existed. If you're cool with that, then just press the '-' button on the title screen and follow Tom Nook's instructions to reset your game. It's like a total island makeover!

Been there, done that! I restarted my island because I was bored with my layout. Press '-' on the title screen, chat with Tom Nook, and boom, new island! It's like playing the game for the first time again. Just remember, it's a clean slate; everything you've done is wiped out.

Nah, don't restart your island! You'll lose all your progress. Instead, try redecorating or moving things around for a fresh vibe. It's way less drastic than nuking your entire island from orbit.
