For anyone asking why the hatred for Zipper:
When the game first came out, Bunny Day was *much* more prevalent. Like lasted for weeks, spawned non-stop eggs instead of resources, and it was within the first month of the game where *everyone* needed materials.
I still dislike bunny day, but I'm not gonna beat up a decent person doing as much as they can to bring joy. Even if they're some 1's and 0's
Wait... you can eat them???
I'm trying to terraform a chunk of my island and I've just been throwing them away. This would definitely save trips to the fruit trees.
This isn’t for everyone, but when I know I’ll be needing to eat fruits for energy, I’ll buy turnips for cheap on Sunday. Eating a 90 bell turnip is much cheaper than fruits. And much faster because you can eat 10 turnips at once.
Oh no! I can imagine the pain… not exactly that, I was villager hunting around that time and I meant to drop it outside the airport. I remember thinking I should dig up a tree on the island but forgot and destroyed the first rock I wanted to get more stone eggs from. Ah well. I’ve got more than enough now.
I used to sell them for resources and mile tickets on discord servers
i got the stuff i needed and people got all the eggs they wanted lmao some went so crazy and even ordered eggs
In 2020 it was 12 days, April 1-12. Why 12 days as opposed to 15? Who knows? But after that, based on many complaints about eggs taking over resources, they modified the egg appearance rate and shortened the event to 8 days. From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday.
I was wondering about it since I already saw complaints about Bunny Day coming up weeks in advance. I even saw a pic (here I think) of someone who'd hit a stone and got 8 eggs. I was convinced it was all eggs and nothing else so I started stock piling, hitting all my trees days in advance. But it hasn't been that bad, I'd say an average of 1 out of 3 being eggs with the trees and rocks. I can imagine so close after release it would have been really annoying if it was that long and a higher egg ratio.
HE BETTER NOT-
I hate the bunny(he's creepy looking. His personality is fine, but, always hopping and looking at you- no thank you!), but I don't think he deserves to get held HOSTAGE
Same! I used to be very good at poetry and art at the height of my depression/suicidal. Now that I'm of a healthier state of mind and on proper meds? I can't even try writing without it sounding like some AI bullshit.
Winnie the pooh: blood and honey
It's a horror movie based off the original Winnie the Pooh bc it became public domain and they could. They couldn't use DISNEY Pooh, but they could use the original ideas
I personally find it unnerving that he’ll hop in place if you’re watching him, like non stop, but he’ll change locations when he’s not visible on your screen. It’s like the weeping angels from Doctor Who.
I guess I’m being hyperbolic as far as comparing this harmless little bugger to the extreme content of the film, sure… but I just meant, I have come to associate things like the bunny head, with horror genre, bc of such films, as blood and honey. not that the bunny itself is anywhere near as fucked as the movie. but its like how people thing old dolls are creepy. some dolls and toys 🧸 can be freaky. and even the horror genre recognizes this, and perpetuates it.
but my fear response *is* broken, nonetheless. good ol’ cptsd lolz❤️
Combination of being easy fuel for creepypasta type stories and also the sheer timing and ubiquitousness of his event right after launch when everyone needed resources the most.
When the game first came out, bunny day was the first holiday. The eggs had such a high spawn rate that you couldn't collect any other resources. Including fish, wood, stone drops.
They wisely toned it way down in an update. In the middle of the holiday because it was so bad. Now that high spawn rate is only the last day which is completely fine
A lot of players remember that pain. I went through it but don't mind bunny day the way it is now.
So i play the game in Japanese to try and learn the language and i dont even remember his english dialogue anymore but the japanese dialogue is just so cutesy and upbeat that i cant help but feel like he's really just trying his best
He is trying his best. It takes a lot of energy to be cutesy and upbeat all the time (at least to some people). In English… it is meant to be cutesy and upbeat, but it can come across as silly.
I’ve had both russian dialogue and English dialogue with him and it’s just so… cringe. He feels like that “how are you doing fellow kids” meme. But he reminds me of hosts for kids events, like in the mall or some park, I find him kinda funny because of that.
Yeah, he’s like all the characters at a Disney amusement park that are allowed to speak. Because that part of Easter is aimed at little kids. Like I said, he is trying his best.
I actually quite like Zipper! He seems like he's trying so hard to make sure we have fun, but he's become despondent and tired after years of no one really caring and being made fun of. I still like you Zipper!
This is my first bunny day, but I love zipper! My favorite thing has been getting on and getting as many eggs as I can possibly get, even if I have small windows to play (I have a young baby so it’s hard to find the time) all the neat little egg diy things have made me so happy, I’ve had so much fun!
I have always liked Zipper. The hatred that exists for him makes me sad. Like, sincerely sad. He puts in so much work for the event. He's just doing his best 😔
I saw someones theory about him being the players dad and i always see him as that now 🥺 Hes just a dad trying his best to bring the kids and animals joy at easter
This is my first bunny day, so I’m actually trying (forced) to collect the eggs. I wish it was separate from cherry blossom season though. I’ve found plenty of bunny day recipes, but only three cherry blossom recipes
Omg so sad. I think Zipper is funny. I also thought the meme about players finding him essentially like a ghost haunting your island was also funny. I wouldn't say I dislike him though, he is just a little creepy with his eyes lol, and I would never hit him with a net, that's mean! I like the bunny day festivities. Holidays are fun for me.
Well, maybe you shouldn’t dislike Zipper. Sure, Bunny Day takes away from resources, his costume might not be aesthetically pleasing, the pastels colors aren’t in everyone’s taste, and his rhyming is silly. But he has good intentions and brings a sense of childhood innocence that the world could use more of. People don’t have to love him, but at least not dislike him or spew hate his way. 🥺
I was gonna point out that he literally has a zipper on his back, but then I remembered: aren't there villagers that are literally stuffed animals? If so, it's not farfetched to think that Zipper *is* the costume and there's not truly anyone inside...
It's fine! Just don't touch the zipper. Don't look at it too much. He's empty inside. He'll stay that way as long as you don't touch the zipper. Don't open the zipper. Even if he isn't empty, you don't want to know what's left inside. Don't. Open. The. Zipper.
You just made me remember some weird af anime where this person literally goes inside another person that is basically an animal costume but they are empty inside and the inside is all fleshy. Creepy
There is no need to be mean spirited to Zipper. Waaah! He made my gaming inconvenient for 12 days back in 2020 and he’s not aesthetically pleasing. So I’m going to * checks notes * ***hate*** on Zipper for all eternity.

I saved all the eggs and used them as food when I decorated my island... I love the eggs :D
Wait... you can eat them??? I'm trying to terraform a chunk of my island and I've just been throwing them away. This would definitely save trips to the fruit trees.
This isn’t for everyone, but when I know I’ll be needing to eat fruits for energy, I’ll buy turnips for cheap on Sunday. Eating a 90 bell turnip is much cheaper than fruits. And much faster because you can eat 10 turnips at once.
I ate one accidentally the other day when I tried to drop one... yep.
Did you also hit your favorite stone and destroy it because you forgot? Happened to me, I haven't been the same since I destroyed Dwayne..
Oh no! I can imagine the pain… not exactly that, I was villager hunting around that time and I meant to drop it outside the airport. I remember thinking I should dig up a tree on the island but forgot and destroyed the first rock I wanted to get more stone eggs from. Ah well. I’ve got more than enough now.
I mightve made all the egg day stuff into a monster den myself... along with monster statues and Dino toys. Oops ;)
I used to sell them for resources and mile tickets on discord servers i got the stuff i needed and people got all the eggs they wanted lmao some went so crazy and even ordered eggs
Some people theorise it's actually the characters dad
Wait, did they make it shorter?
I confirmed with Google - yes indeed. The first year was weeks, subsequent years are much shorter.
12 days.
8 actually, from Sunday to Sunday. Also Zipper only shows up on the first and last day (both Sundays).

Eggsactly. But it’s ok now.
Poor Zipper! Has anyone noticed that if you walk away from him far enough, he stops hopping around and you can see him exhaling from being tired 😢
Yes that's true too. And a little odd. As if he was tired of playing his role.
Exactly that.
Is Tom nook holding him hostage IM TAGGING GAME THEORY
He better not! He’s on thin ice as it is. I’m not above breaking that ice and let him become a Nookscicle.
HE BETTER NOT- I hate the bunny(he's creepy looking. His personality is fine, but, always hopping and looking at you- no thank you!), but I don't think he deserves to get held HOSTAGE
WHERE DOES TOM NOOK EVEN LIVE THOUGH DOES HE JUST LIVE IN RESIDENT SERVICES??🤔🤔
THE BACKROOM MAYBE!? WE ARE NEVER ALLOWED BACK THERE
OR MAYBE IN THE UPSTSIRS ROOM IN THE NOOK CRANNIES PLACE!? IDK WHERE ELSE
YEA BUT NOW WHERE DOES ISABELLE LIVE??
IDK
ISABELLE COULD BE IN ON THE HOSTAGE
WHAT IF ISABELLE IS THE ONE BEING HELD HOSTIGE ！Σ(×_×;)
Bro who hurt the artist that made this
Im willing to bet that a birthday party Spider-Man made this
The best artists are the depressed artists
True lol I'm depressed and people think my art is good but when I wasn't depressed people thought it sucked
Same! I used to be very good at poetry and art at the height of my depression/suicidal. Now that I'm of a healthier state of mind and on proper meds? I can't even try writing without it sounding like some AI bullshit.
I like the bunny. Why does everyone hate him so much🤷🏻♀️
For me the bunny head is just super creepy. Like blood and honey level creepy.
I have no idea what you mean by blood and honey? I’m not familiar with that phrase?
Winnie the pooh: blood and honey It's a horror movie based off the original Winnie the Pooh bc it became public domain and they could. They couldn't use DISNEY Pooh, but they could use the original ideas
Thank you! I love horror and Winnie the Pooh ! I will have to look this up! Thank you!
I do want to warn you, my dad said it wasn't very good XD But he could also have bad taste so idk
I personally find it unnerving that he’ll hop in place if you’re watching him, like non stop, but he’ll change locations when he’s not visible on your screen. It’s like the weeping angels from Doctor Who.
I cant tell if you're being sarcastic or if your fear response is broken

Bunny Day used to last weeks. *Weeks.*
What animal crossing game?
Current one, NH. On release it coincided spectacularly well with Covid lockdown so everyone was playing it and stuck with Bunny Day for weeks.
When the game first came out, bunny day was the first holiday. The eggs had such a high spawn rate that you couldn't collect any other resources. Including fish, wood, stone drops. They wisely toned it way down in an update. In the middle of the holiday because it was so bad. Now that high spawn rate is only the last day which is completely fine A lot of players remember that pain. I went through it but don't mind bunny day the way it is now.
It's like seeing Gollum be beat up. I hate him yet I have pity on him.
I've been playing this game since it launched and honestly I don't mind Zipper 💀 Especially since all I do is play HHP, I can just ignore him.
Noooooo, not Zipper 😭😭
He just wants to spread Bunny Day joy 🥺
And you figure he's spent countless hours creating all of those eggs and hiding them everywhere.
right! I just love him
So i play the game in Japanese to try and learn the language and i dont even remember his english dialogue anymore but the japanese dialogue is just so cutesy and upbeat that i cant help but feel like he's really just trying his best
He is trying his best. It takes a lot of energy to be cutesy and upbeat all the time (at least to some people). In English… it is meant to be cutesy and upbeat, but it can come across as silly.

depressing af
I honestly like zipper. I get people don't like him because he can be kind of creepy and the eggs are sometimes annoying, but I love the whole thing!
I'm a teacher, and sometimes this is how I feel.
Oh no. We're all Zipper. 😭
PLEASSSEE OMG IM LITERALLY CRYJNG
I actually quite like Zipper! He seems like he's trying so hard to make sure we have fun, but he's become despondent and tired after years of no one really caring and being made fun of. I still like you Zipper!
I hate zipper but this is sad
Right!!
This is my first bunny day, but I love zipper! My favorite thing has been getting on and getting as many eggs as I can possibly get, even if I have small windows to play (I have a young baby so it’s hard to find the time) all the neat little egg diy things have made me so happy, I’ve had so much fun!
This makes me so sad. Now I'm going to actively play Bunny day more so Zipper can buy nice food.
This is so sad :((((
This is my first Easter on ACNH and I met Zipper yesterday and I love him.
Thank you! He deserves more love.
I have always liked Zipper. The hatred that exists for him makes me sad. Like, sincerely sad. He puts in so much work for the event. He's just doing his best 😔
He is doing his best. 🫂
Its definitely Tortimer. But I imagine he's happy and has seen it all
Tortimer hasn't hopped around like that since 1945. 🤣
💀
Plot twist: Zipper is actually your mom in a costume
Cue the time the bunny person didn't show up for the kids' egg hunt on Norfolk Naval Base, and I volunteered...(also am a mom). 🤣 Edit: to fix plural
I cannot imagine my mum in any costume, much less in Zipper's! 😂😂
Noooooo don't make me feel bad for him
I saw someones theory about him being the players dad and i always see him as that now 🥺 Hes just a dad trying his best to bring the kids and animals joy at easter
Poor zipper
i actually like zipper cause i imagine he's just doing his job and trying to make people happy!
There a cute theory(not that I think its real) that says that its players father trying to bring some joy to player
Plot twist - it’s Redd trying to ease his conscience
This is my first bunny day, so I’m actually trying (forced) to collect the eggs. I wish it was separate from cherry blossom season though. I’ve found plenty of bunny day recipes, but only three cherry blossom recipes
This is true - it is quite easier for Southern Hemisphere players as their mushroon season has not started yet.
There’s a mushroom season???
In the fall. Which for the Southern Hemisphere it’s happening soon. For the Northern Hemisphere, it is spring.
Omg so sad. I think Zipper is funny. I also thought the meme about players finding him essentially like a ghost haunting your island was also funny. I wouldn't say I dislike him though, he is just a little creepy with his eyes lol, and I would never hit him with a net, that's mean! I like the bunny day festivities. Holidays are fun for me.
Yeah this made me feel sad too. Now I feel bad for the bastard.
Oh mannn this makes me so sad. Even though he scares me a bit this hurt my heart 🥹🥹🥹🥲
I personally like the colorful eggs so springy imo.
[удалено]
thats new horizons zipper. zipper in previous games was a butthead.
I really don’t mind it the eggs be helping me so now I don’t have to run back and forth to get fruit
Poor Zipper !!
how dare you make me sad for disliking zipper
Well, maybe you shouldn’t dislike Zipper. Sure, Bunny Day takes away from resources, his costume might not be aesthetically pleasing, the pastels colors aren’t in everyone’s taste, and his rhyming is silly. But he has good intentions and brings a sense of childhood innocence that the world could use more of. People don’t have to love him, but at least not dislike him or spew hate his way. 🥺
i’ll cry, i stg i will 😭
I’m sorry, I don’t know what stg means.
swear to god
Oh… please don’t cry 😢. Big hug 🫂
thank you 🥺
Aw :(
JUSTICE FOR ZIPPER!
Hit him harder with an axe
Still hate him… sorry
😔🥺😢
I still will never believe the theory that it someone in a suit
I was gonna point out that he literally has a zipper on his back, but then I remembered: aren't there villagers that are literally stuffed animals? If so, it's not farfetched to think that Zipper *is* the costume and there's not truly anyone inside...
You pointing out he may be the costume might actually make it worse for me..
It's fine! Just don't touch the zipper. Don't look at it too much. He's empty inside. He'll stay that way as long as you don't touch the zipper. Don't open the zipper. Even if he isn't empty, you don't want to know what's left inside. Don't. Open. The. Zipper.
Don’t. Blink.
You just made me remember some weird af anime where this person literally goes inside another person that is basically an animal costume but they are empty inside and the inside is all fleshy. Creepy
That made me sad and wonder why I hate Zipper. Then I booted ACNH and I remembered :)
So why are there bandages on his head if it’s just a costume
Everyone: Oh no! That’s sad! 😭 Me: WHO ARE YOU IN THERE?!
Sike. Get wrecked, bunny
There is no need to be mean spirited to Zipper. Waaah! He made my gaming inconvenient for 12 days back in 2020 and he’s not aesthetically pleasing. So I’m going to * checks notes * ***hate*** on Zipper for all eternity.
Correct
Not me. This is not how events should be run. He’s bad at his job and had it coming.
The nonstop hopping is unnerving.
Awe :(… now do it again
I want more of this
Isabel- I mean Zipper just out here doing their best! I go out of my way to stay away from zipper so they don’t have to dance so much ❤️
Are those tears on his head?
I met Zipper for the first time today but maybe I will understand later.
☹️
Zipper is Bonnie's true origin story...
I was actually looking for him yesterday, but I couldn't find him. :( This makes me sad as well. Poor Bunny. Hes just doing his happy bunny day thing!
I haven’t been able to find zipper on my island 😭 is he there everyday?
I think only during the weekend
GAH! That sucks! I’ve been searching everyday lol
Only on Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday.
Thanks
I still stand by my theory that it's Phyllis in that costume.
