I guess you mean a symbolic link. You can't hard link directories.

As /media is more controlled by the OS and more likely to be changed
without your knowledge, I think a better way may be to make /mnt the
symlink to /media.

Personally, I like them separate. OS controlled mounts can go under
/media and manual mounts go under /mnt. That way /mnt mounts don't
get suddenly changed without my knowledge.
