The Wishing Well is the center of most Festivities in the [[town]]. Apart from being where most holidays celebrations take place, [[player]]s can do several other things there, such as checking the town's environment. They can also apologize for failing tasks for the [[villager]]s. Apologizing can only be done if the player has an item that needs to be delivered to a villager who has moved out before the [[favor]] was completed, as that is the only way to get rid of the item in this case.
+
In {{PG}}, interacting with the wishing well allows the player to check the town's [[Environment rating|Field Rank]], as well as "apologize" to remove a [[favor]] item from their [[pockets]] if the villager the item belongs to has moved away. During events, Tortimer visits the wishing well, and for some events, props such as tables are set up in the area and villagers visit. If the town retains a perfect Field Rank for 15 days, selecting "How are things" makes [[Farley]] appear to give the player the {{I|golden axe|PG}}.{{Note|In {{DnM+}}, Farley does not appear and the player simply receives the golden axe from the shrine.

The Wishing Well appears only in {{PG}}, but the functions of the Well have been contributed to the [[Town Hall]] in {{WW}} and {{CF}} (the Civic Center) and the [[Town Tree]] and Town Hall in {{NL}}. The player cannot, however, apologize for failing tasks. However, a fountain, much as the one in the city, can be made by depositing 400,000 bells into the town fund after an additional [[bridge]] has been built for donating 200,000 bells. The player can also throw an [[axe]] into the fountain for a chance to receive a silver or golden axe from [[Serena]]. In {{NL}}, the fountain is a [[public works project]], and axes cannot be thrown into it.

The wishing well is a location in the Animal Crossing series that appears in every first-generation Animal Crossing game. Interacting with the wishing well gives the player options, while the surrounding area acts as a hub for events.

Appearances

In Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+

The shrine in Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+

In Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+, the wishing well is based on a Shinto shrine rather than a wishing well, and it is known as the shrine. In these versions, villagers gather in front of the shrine on New Year's Day and take turns ringing its bells, reflecting a tradition in real-world Japanese New Year's celebrations. The shrine offers the same in-game options as the wishing well in Animal Crossing.

In Animal Crossing

In Animal Crossing, interacting with the wishing well allows the player to check the town's Field Rank, as well as "apologize" to remove a favor item from their pockets if the villager the item belongs to has moved away. During events, Tortimer visits the wishing well, and for some events, props such as tables are set up in the area and villagers visit. If the town retains a perfect Field Rank for 15 days, selecting "How are things" makes Farley appear to give the player the golden axe.[nb 1]

In Doubutsu no Mori e+

In Doubutsu no Mori e+, the international wishing well design is retained and two features are added to it: the ability to access minigames if a Game Boy Advance is connected, and the ability to invite villagers to move to town via their e-Reader card.

The shrine in Dòngwù Sēnlín

In Dòngwù Sēnlín

In Dòngwù Sēnlín, the wishing well is based on a Temple of the Town God. It uses a similar model as the shrine from Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+, although it features different textures, and it is missing the wooden extrusions from the roof and the bells from the front.
