Animal Crossing New Horizons replaces the role of mayor with that of island delegate. But unlike New Leaf, as several players cohabit on the same island, this title is all the more important and complex to understand. That's why we decided to make an article in addition to our FAQ on the game to fully understand this function.

Summary

Who is an island delegate?

The Island Delegate – Animal Crossing New Horizons

The short version is that the Islander Delegate is the first player to use Animal Crossing New Horizons on console. In fact, he is the first player to reach the point in the game where the island is named and the Switch automatically saves.

How do I know who the island delegate is?

The Island Delegate – Animal Crossing New Horizons

The game does not indicate who the island's delegate is. If in doubt, everyone should check their passport in the NookPhone to see if there is the Island Delegate stamp or not.

Can we change the island delegate?

The Island Delegate – Animal Crossing New Horizons

The island is actually on the island delegate's save, the other players only have side saves. At this time, there are no plans to be able to change this and transfer the role to someone else. The only way is therefore to delete the save data of the game in general, losing the whole island in the process. And that's where someone else can create a new island by becoming its delegate.

What are the powers of the island delegate?

In addition to naming the island, the island delegate has access to a "Let's talk structures" option when chatting with Tom Nook. This allows him to decide the place of buildings (excluding other players' houses) as well as the construction and destruction of infrastructures such as bridges or ramps.

On the other hand, anyone can change the flag or the anthem of the island, but also use the Remod'île application or place/remove furniture outside. Other tips await you on our site, such as how to increase the size of your inventory or the list of achievements to unlock.
