How to Choose Your Animal Crossing Island
Choosing your Animal Crossing island is all about vibe and layout! When you start the game, you'll get to preview a few island layouts. Think about whether you want tons of rivers, more land for building, or an island with lots of elevation for those scenic views. It's also cool to consider the island's orientation to make fishing and catching bugs easier. Remember, you're gonna be spending a LOT of time on your island, so pick one that makes you happy!

Just go with your gut! When those island layouts pop up, pick the one that you vibe with instantly. No need to overthink it.
Honestly, I just closed my eyes and picked randomly. Best decision ever because it made everything feel like a real adventure, discovering all the cool spots on my island by pure chance.
