A time capsule cannot be made by the player as it is a special villager interaction. It is advised to bury the time capsule where trees and flowers cannot grow.

==Trivia==
 
*If the villager who made the player bury the time capsule moves away, he/she will send a letter to the player who buried it to open it and keep the item inside.
 
*When time-travelling, the villager may "forget" about the time capsule.
 
*The time capsule appears in the letter slots with a unique icon.
 
*Like the [[Lost Item]] and [[key]], it is a unique villager "quest".
 
*If the player agrees to bury the time capsule and does not complete the task, the [[friendship]] with the villager and the player will decrease. This is the same effect when the player opens a package or letter a villager told the player to deliver to another villager, or if it was not delivered on time.

Julian receiving his time capsule from the player.

Time capsules are items in Animal Crossing: New Leaf that are given to the player by villagers as part of a favor; they are stored with the player's letters. The villager will ask the player to bury it; after it is buried, it will disappear until the villager asks for it to be dug up.

If the player digs up the time capsule and returns it to the villager, they will open it and give the player an item as a reward. If the player does not return it to the villager, or if they open it, the favor cannot completed and the player's friendship with the villager will decrease. If a villager moves out before their time capsule is returned, they will send a letter to the player telling them to open it and keep the item inside.

If the player digs up a time capsule in another town, they will re-bury it, saying "[...] it was probably buried by someone who lives in this town. I'll put it back where I found it."
