===Game Boy Advance connectivity===
[[Game Boy Advance]] connectivity plays a role in ''Animal Crossing'', using a [[Nintendo GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable]]. Each town has an island that can be accessed by plugging in a Game Boy Advance with a GameCube link cable. A character called Kapp'n ferries the player to the island for free. An exclusive animal roams the island, with whom the player can become friends. The island has an exclusive type of fruit: coconuts. The player can also decorate a small communal beach house and fish at the shores. On leaving, the player can download the island to a GBA and give fruit to the villager, who drops Bells; if the player returns to the island, they can pick up the money that has been dropped. Players can leave the islander tools to use, such as the shovel or net. Downloaded islands can be traded between GBAs, using a Game Boy Advance Link Cable.

The Game Boy Advance can be used when shopping at the Able Sisters. The pattern design tool can be downloaded to a Game Boy Advance, and the player can then upload designs made on a Game Boy Advance to the GameCube. This feature can be accessed by plugging in a Game Boy Advance with a GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable and talking to Mabel in the Able Sisters shop. The game is also compatible with the [[Nintendo e-Reader|e-Reader]]; by visiting the Post Office while connected to the accessory via the Game Boy Advance link cable, players can scan ''Animal Crossing'' themed cards to receive new items, town tunes, or pattern designs.
