Linking to Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town


One of the newer innovations that came out with Friends of Mineral town and A Wonderful Life was the ability to link the two games together to unlock additional content in the game.  This trend has continued in harvest moon DS.  Harvest Moon DS can be linked with either Friends of Mineral Town or More Friends of Mineral Town for the game boy advanced.  You can link the two games together by inserting the fomt or mfomt into the second slot on the DS for playing game boy advance games.  You need to leave the cartridge in for 1 game day and then save your game on the DS.  From then on, the additional content will be unlocked.  You cannot play both games simultaneously on the DS, this will just unlock the additional content below. 

New Music

Linking the two games will allow you to buy the records of the background  music from friends of mineral town.  You can buy each of the four seasons as well as the ending theme for 10,000g each from Jet at the sprite shop company.

New Friends:

If you link the games together it will also cause some of the charters who run the phone stores in mineral town to come and visit the valley on their day off.  This will allow you to courted and marry the mineral town girls, but if you choose to marry one of them your game will end because you move to mineral town.  Linking the games will also cause some of the mineral town characters to attend the festivals in the valley.

I have seen another person or two coming and going, but I haven't figured out their schedule yet.

Linking the two games together adds one more thing to the game.  If you linked the mineral town cartridge that you are using to A Wonderful Life on the game cube, the name of your character on the game cube will be located on the tombstone behind the circus.  Supposedly, Harvest Moon DS takes place in forget me not valley 100 years after a wonderful life.  You character has passed on and left the farm to the character you are playing as in harvest moon DS.  That's about all that I have unlocked from linking the games so far.  If I find anything else I will include it here.  As always, if you have any additional information for this section feel free to email me and I will credit your work.
