Animal Crossing may have reached its highest peak in popularity in recent months due to the phenomenon of Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Nintendo Switch , but the series has actually been on the industry for almost 20 years.

Since its initial launch Nintendo has managed to create a consistent universe with a large community and tons of characters and game forms that carry over from one title to another. But another thing that has been transmitted between games, as TheGamer medium highlights, are some fundamental questions that remain without canonical answers so far.

If you’re curious, here are 10 unanswered existential questions not even a year later about the world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons :

1. Why don’t the neighbors wear pants? They only use parts from above…
2. Why don’t the neighbors also contribute with donations for constructions on the island ? We all have to pay for them…
3. What happened to Pupae so that her entire body is bandaged? His house also looks like a cemetery …
4. Why are there big bears and little bears that look like babies? However, they all seem to be the same age…
5. Why are there cows and bulls with differences depending on the sex, but there is no physical differentiation between roosters and hens?
6. How Marina and other octopuses can breathe in land? Why don’t they drown?
7. How come the animals on the island ignore their natural instincts? Deer live next to wolves … rabbits next to crocodiles …
8. How come there are animals that speak and they walk, and at the same time there are other normal animals like bugs and fish? A clear example is that of the owl in the square and Socrates or Estela…
9. How and what did feed the villagers, if they are only seen eating the occasional treat or at most a sandwich?
10. Which is the origin of the wands? What do they have to allow us to change outfits like this?

Of course they are not necessary questions to enjoy the game and they do not necessarily need an answer, but it is always interesting to ask them as a community. Do you have an answer for any? Leave it in the comments!
