You can plant all kinds of different crops and trees on your property, but you’ll have to prepare the land first. With your scythe, you can slash away weeds with a simple swipe of the Wii Remote. To till that cleared spot, grab the hoe out of your rucksack and move the Wii Remote downward as if you’re digging into the ground. When it’s not raining, you’ll also have to water your crops. With your watering can in hand, you’ll move the Wii Remote forward like you were watering a houseplant.

While your crops are growing, grab your sledgehammer and head to the mine. In the mine, you can smash a rock and, hopefully, it will yield a precious metal. When standing next to a rock and with the hammer in your hand, you’ll lift the Wii Remote up and then bring it down to smash a rock.

Farming and mining are hard work. You’ll need to eat something of substance to keep your energy up. The river that runs through the village is full of fish, waiting to take your bait. With your fishing rod in hand, you’ll flick the Wii Remote forward to cast your line. When the fish is on the hook, snap the Wii Remote upward to try to snag the fish.

As you walk around the village, you’ll discover plenty of items to eat, sell, give away or just take for your own. If you come across branches, grab your axe to turn them into useable lumber. Take the Wii Remote and move it up and then down when facing the branch to chop it. With other items, you can simply press the A Button to pick them up and the B Button to store them in your rucksack.
