Harvest Moon DS NDS Video Game Cartridge Nintendo DS

Help to save the Harvest Goddess, who has become trapped in another world, in the first game of the farm-simulation franchise to appear on the Nintendo DS.

The player is a young man (who is by default named Pete) who lives with his friend Takakura on a farm in Forget-Me-Not-Valley,[1] at roughly the same time as Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. The game begins with the Harvest Goddess, a deity of Harvest Moon, and the Witch Princess fighting. Neither can win, so they part ways. The Witch Princess, on meeting the Harvest Goddess next, attempts to cast a spell to silence her, but instead petrifies her. While trying to undo her spell, the Witch Princess inadvertently sends the Harvest Goddess to another world, so she sends all of the Harvest Sprites (small, elf-like creatures) to the same world to rescue her. The Witch Princess then tells the player to bring all of the Harvest Sprites back in order to rescue the Harvest Goddess; to do this, the player must work hard as a farmer.

Living in the valley are a number of villagers, nine bachelorettes, and five rival bachelors. The characters and locations in Harvest Moon DS are the same as those in Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life and Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, along with a few new characters, but with a few minor exceptions.

The main story ends when all Harvest Sprites and the Harvest Goddess are rescued.
