Next to Kafei’s quest there is in Majora’s Mask a second, longer series of exchanges. It starts with the Moon’s Tear from the observatory and takes you through several Deku dealers throughout Termina. Over the course of the chain you will receive four different certificates and in total you can five Pieces of Heart collect.
The order is fixed: Moon’s Tear → Land Title Deed → Swamp Deed → Mountain Deed → Ocean Title Deed. Each merchant wants to leave their current location and in return gives Link his Deku Flower. We then use exactly these flowers to achieve the respective Pieces of Heart.
It is important that some traders only trade with the appropriate form. In Clock Town, normal Link is enough, in the Goron Village you have to act as Deku Link, in the Zora Hall as Goron Link and in Ikana Canyon as Zora Link. The document exchange transaction can generally be spread over several sections of the action; for our 100% route, we complete the individual stations when the corresponding area is accessible anyway.
Moon’s Tear in Observatory
The series of exchanges begins very early in the game. Make your way through the bombers’ underground hideout to the Astral Observatory outside Clock Town. Talk to the astronomer and then use the telescope. Aim it at the clock tower and watch the Skull Kid at the top.
After a short time, a glowing Moon’s Tear falls from the sky. Leave the observatory through the door outside and pick it up. It is the first exchange item in the entire series and is now brought to the Deku dealer in front of the clock tower.
Clock Town – Land Title Deed and first Piece of Heart
Go to South Clock Town to the Deku Merchant right in front of the Clock Tower. Show him the Moon’s Tear. He is immediately enthusiastic and exchanges it for the Land Title Deed. He then leaves his Deku Flower and sets off.
Now transform into Deku Link and use the flower that has become free. Shoot your way up onto the ledge of the clock tower. There the first Piece of Heart in this exchange series is open on the platform.
We need the land certificate for the next stop in the swamp. It should therefore not be given elsewhere as long as you want to complete the exchange series completely.
Southern Swamp – Swamp Title Deed and second Piece of Heart
Travel to the Swamp Tourist Center in the Southern Swamp. The next Deku dealer is waiting on the raised platform next to or above the building.
If you want to trade, don’t address him as Deku Link. In this form he only offers Magic Beans. To exchange certificates, you have to address him as a normal link or in another form of transformation. Then show him the Land Title Deed. The dealer wants a new location anyway and exchanges you the Swamp Title Deed for it.
After he leaves, the Deku Flower is yours. Transform into Deku Link and use her to fly to the roof of the Swamp Information Center. There is the second Piece of Heart in the exchange series.
Goron Village – Mountain Title Deed and third Piece of Heart
As soon as you have access to the Goron Village, you can exchange the next certificate. The Deku Trader stands on a raised platform near the Goron Shrine.
This time the right shape is crucial. Transform into Deku Link and talk to the dealer. He explains that he doesn’t like the cold in the mountains and would rather move back to the swamp. Show him the Swamp Title Deed and he exchanges it for the Mountain Title Deed.
Then use the Deku Flower left behind. Fly to the nearby high ledge and collect the third Piece of Heart.
Zora Hall – Ocean Title Deed and Fourth Piece of Heart
The fourth station is in Zora Hall. First enter Lulu’s accommodation. Another Deku dealer has set up shop there.
Before the conversation, transform into Goron Link. Only in this form is the dealer interested in your current location in the mountains. Show him the Mountain Title Deed. He accepts the offer and gives you the Ocean Title Deed.
After the merchant disappears, transform back into Deku Link and use his flower. Fly to the raised platform or into the large shell above the room. The fourth Piece of Heart in the exchange series is waiting there.
Ikana Canyon – 200 Rupees and fifth Piece of Heart
We only reach the last station in Ikana Canyon. Head to the lower part of the canyon towards Sakon’s hideout. The last Deku dealer is waiting on a small platform by the river.
This time transform into Zora Link and talk to him. Show him the Ocean Title Deed. The dealer would like to leave his current location and will no longer offer you any further exchange of documents. Instead, he gives you a huge Rupee worth 200 Rupees and gives you his Deku Flower.
Then transform into Deku Link and use the flower. Fly across the river to the small ledge on the opposite side. There is the fifth and last Piece of Heart of the entire certificate exchange series.
This completes the chain completely. The original Moon’s Tear became four certificates one after another, 200 Rupees and a total of five Pieces of Heart.
All five Pieces of Heart of the Title Deed Trading Quest
1. Clock Town: Exchange moon tears for land deeds and fly to the clock tower with the Deku flower.
2. Southern Swamp: Swap the land certificate for the Swamp Title Deed and fly to the roof of the information center.
3. Goron Village: As Deku Link, swap Swamp Title Deed for Mountain Title Deed and reach the high ledge.
4. Zora’s Cave: As Goron Link, exchange the Mountain Title Deed for the sea certificate and fly to the raised platform with the Deku flower.
5. Ikana Canyon: Hand in the sea certificate as Zora Link, receive 200 Rupees and fly over the river with the Deku flower.
Anyone who follows our Majora’s Mask Walkthrough will collect these Pieces of Heart during the normal course of the game when the corresponding area is reached. This way we don’t have to revisit any of the stations later for the 100% collection round.
