Avatar: The Last Airbender, the massively popular animated series from the mid-2000s, recently became available on Netflix, something fans have been requesting for quite some time. Now that some of those fans have had the opportunity to rewatch the classic series, they are taking to the latest Animal Crossing installment to recreate some of the scenes and settings from the show.

A popular location from the show that many players have been focused on recreating is the Northern Water Tribe Spirit Oasis from the latter episodes of season one of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Given how creative some Animal Crossing players have demonstrated to be, it’s no surprise that they have been crushing it when it comes to bringing a bit of the Avatar life to the digital island. Check out the creations from Reddit users demonica12, shdycnnn, and illni below.
