Elijah Wood trawls Twitter for good 'Animal Crossing' turnip prices just like us

He visited a fan's island and told her it was beautiful.

Elijah Wood is, unsurprisingly, the sweetest Animal Crossing visitor.

Since its release just over a month ago, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has become the game of quarantine. Not only is it the second best-selling game in the United States this year, after Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but its release is also directly correlated to the boost in Nintendo Switch sales in the last month.

And like millions of players, actor Elijah Wood is also passing the time by playing Animal Crossing.

Twitter user directedbyrian, who goes by Jessa, tweeted about their high turnip prices on Thursday. One of the ways to amass in-game currency is to buy turnips from a character named Daisy Mae every Sunday, and to sell them at profit to your island's store owners at some point during the week. Players can also visit other players' islands in hopes of selling turnips at a higher profit than at their own. Then, they can either open their gates to all of their friends, or generate a "Dodo Code" that allows anyone with the code to visit their island.

Shortly after tweeting about her turnip prices, Wood DM'd her on Twitter to ask for her code. Then, his character flew from the island of "Driftwood" to Jessa's.

"Your island is beautiful," Wood told her in the game's chat function.

A courteous guest, he even asked for her permission before harvesting fruit.

A few friends joined as well.

This meet and greet couldn't be more wholesome.

Social distancing doesn't mean you can't meet your celebrity idols!
