Golden tools are upgraded versions of tools found in all Animal Crossing series games, being rarer, but even better than silver tools. Tools that can be found golden include the Axe, Fishing Rod, Net, Shovel, Slingshot, and Watering Can.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, golden tools are breakable, unlike previous games. However, they are significantly more durable than regular or flimsy tools. Golden tools are made via DIY, with each requiring the regular version of said tool and a single Gold Nugget in order to craft them.

Golden Axe

Players can obtain a Golden Axe by doing the following in each game. Golden axes never break, and cut trees faster. They may also leave special patterns on the stumps.

Golden Axe PG Inv Icon.png In Animal Crossing, after 15 days of a perfect town, players must speak to Farley.

Golden Axe WW Inv Icon.png In Animal Crossing: Wild World, players can complete some steps to receive the Golden Axe. This axe never breaks.

Golden Axe CF Icon.png The method for obtaining the golden axe in Animal Crossing: City Folk is similar to obtaining a silver axe; the player must throw the axe into the town fountain and then sweet-talk Serena to get an axe. The golden axe, however, is rarer to obtain than the silver.

Golden Axe NL Icon.png In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, once players have purchased 50 saplings, Leif offers a Golden Axe for the player to buy.

Golden Axe NH Inv Icon.png In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, once players break 100 axes in total, the character will automatically learn the Golden Axe recipe.

Golden Rod

Players can obtain a Golden Fishing Rod by doing the following each game. Golden fishing rods attract fish better than the other two types of fishing rod.

Golden Rod PG Inv Icon.png In Animal Crossing, players get the Golden Rod by catching all species of fish and then talking to Tortimer the next day.

Golden Slingshot WW Inv Icon.png In Animal Crossing: Wild World, once players have destroyed 14 balloons, the next balloon is a gold balloon carrying the Golden Slingshot. If players fail to shoot down the balloon, it will reappear shortly after, possibly two to three presents later.
