Friday marked the release of "Animal Crossing: New Horizons," the fifth installment in the adorable life simulator series by Nintendo. While previous games in the series have seen your character move into a new town to make friends or even become mayor, "New Horizons" features a different premise: you're dropped onto a deserted island, and expected to turn it into a vibrant, nurturing community.
To do this, you'll need a variety of tools, including bug nets, watering cans, and more. The most important of these tools, however, is the Vaulting Pole.
In the early game, most of your deserted island will be blocked off by impassable rivers. You won't be able to build bridges over these rivers until much later, and until then, you'll need the Vaulting Pole to cross.
With the Vaulting Pole, you can leap straight over these rivers, no bridges required.
