Animal Crossing Reactions Guide

What are Reactions in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? This is a function that lets you express different kinds of emotional reactions with your character. You can show expressions such as greetings, sadness, joy, and more.

How do you unlock reactions?

Reactions can be unlocked whenever a Villager teaches it to you. You’ll have to talk to Villagers each day to befriend them, and they’ll likely try to get your attention in order to teach you a reaction. If a Villager calls out for you, make sure to talk to them.

How do I use reactions?

You can use Reactions by pressing ZR. This will provide you with a reaction wheel that is similar to a tool ring. You can select, and even register up to 8 reactions of your choice. This ring can also be used on the Camera app of your Nook Phone.

What are reactions for?

Reactions can be used to express your character, you can use this when taking photos, or you can use this with other players if you are playing multiplayer.

Reactions can also be used on other villagers, try out different combinations in order to see how other villagers will react to you in return.
