NookLink
NookLink is a service in the Nintendo Switch Online mobile application that connects with Animal Crossing: New Horizons. To connect, the player must open the settings from the title screen of New Horizons and talk to Tom Nook. After this the player will be able to sync up various online services featured in the game.
Features
NookLink is divided into app-like sections, similar to the in-game NookPhone.
Passport

Designs
Allows the user to scan design QR codes created in Animal Crossing: New Leaf or Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer and import them into New Horizons.
Keyboards
Brings up a chat keyboard where the user can type messages to appear in-game.

Catalog
