How to Transfer Golden Sun Data

Golden Sun provides a wealth of things to collect as you adventure and pursue quests. Thankfully, all of this work is not wasted, as you are provided the opportunity to transfer data to the game's sequel, Golden Sun 2: The Lost Age. While using a link cable is as simple as connecting two Game Boys and powering both of them on, Golden Sun provides an option to transfer data between the two games without requiring a second handheld game console. This is done by generating a unique password through a hidden Send option.
