Clock Town (16 pieces)

Clock Town hides sixteen pieces, more than any other region, and most are mini-games, mask events and Deku Scrub trades that only need the first few masks. Start here, since the Deku Mask and the rupees you earn pay for much of the rest.

Deku Scrub in Clock Town hands Link the Land Title Deed, the box reading You traded the Moon's Tear for a Land Title Deed
South Clock Town - Clock Tower Balcony

1. South Clock Town – Clock Tower Balcony

Where: the wooden balcony in front of the Clock Tower in South Clock Town. When: any day, any hour, in the same cycle that you pick up the Moon’s Tear. Needs: Deku Mask, Moon’s Tear.

How to get it: (1) Learn the Bombers’ secret code and walk through the hideout in East Clock Town to the Astral Observatory. (2) Look through the telescope toward the Moon and watch a Moon’s Tear fall. (3) Pick it up in the crater just outside the Observatory. (4) Go back to South Clock Town and give it to the Business Scrub who sits in the flower beside the Clock Tower; he hands you the Land Title Deed and leaves his Deku Flower behind. (5) As Deku Link, jump into the empty flower and glide to the ledge above the Clock Tower doors, where the piece sits. The whole route is laid out in the opening chapter. The Moon’s Tear and the deed vanish when you play the Song of Time, so repeat the loop if you need a new deed later; the piece you already took stays yours. The deed also starts the Title Deed chain below, which pays four more pieces.

West Clock Town - Post Office Counting Game

2. West Clock Town – Post Office Counting Game

Where: the Post Office in West Clock Town. When: the First or Second Day, from 3 PM to midnight. Needs: nothing, though the Bunny Hood makes it easy.

How to get it: Talk to the Postman at his counter and accept his “mental training”. A hidden stopwatch starts and you press A when you think exactly 10.00 seconds have gone by. Without the Bunny Hood the numbers disappear after a couple of seconds, so you have to count in your head; with it the display stays on screen and you only need to press A at the right moment. Each try costs 2 rupees, but if you walk out and back in you get a free try again. The Postman has no game on the Final Day, so finish it before then. The route through town is in the Clock Town chapter. You can get the Bunny Hood at Romani Ranch (see Bunny Hood).

Stock Pot Inn - Restroom Hand

3. Stock Pot Inn – Restroom Hand

Where: the restroom of the Stock Pot Inn in East Clock Town. When: midnight to 6 AM, on any night of the cycle. Needs: one paper item: the Land Title Deed, the Letter to Kafei or the Special Delivery to Mama.

How to get it: The inn is locked at night, so open the door with the Room Key from Anju, or as Deku Link hop into the Deku Flower outside the inn and glide to the upper door. Make your way to the restroom, where a hand called ??? reaches out of the toilet and asks for paper. Open the item screen, set your paper on a C button and hand it over. The hand takes the item and gives you a Piece of Heart. Paper you can spare is the Land Title Deed (you can fetch a new one every cycle) or the Letter to Kafei if you are not using it in the Anju and Kafei quest. See the Clock Town chapter for the night schedule.

North Clock Town - Deku Scrub Playground

4. North Clock Town – Deku Scrub Playground

Where: the fenced Deku Scrub Playground in North Clock Town. When: 6 AM to 10 PM on the First, Second and Final Day of one cycle. Needs: Deku Mask, 10 rupees for each try.

How to get it: Put on the Deku Mask, talk to the scrub who runs the playground and pay 10 rupees. You hop and fly across platforms using the flowers and beat the record time set for that day; the layout changes each day. Beating it on the First and Second Day pays 50 rupees each. On the Final Day the third win gives the Piece of Heart. If you fail a day you can try again for another 10 rupees, but you must win all three days within one cycle. The playground is described in the Clock Town chapter.

North Clock Town - Tree

5. North Clock Town – Tree

Where: the tree beside the slide structure at the Deku Scrub Playground in North Clock Town. When: any time. Needs: nothing, but you must be in Hylian form.

How to get it: As Hylian Link, climb the wooden platform beside the slide, then jump across to the nearby tree instead of sliding down and take the piece. If you are a Deku or Goron the jump does not work, so change back first. The route is also in the Clock Town chapter.

West Clock Town - Swordsman's School

6. West Clock Town – Swordsman’s School

Where: the Swordsman’s School in West Clock Town. When: any time the school is open, on any day. Needs: 10 rupees and a sword (jump attacks).

How to get it: Talk to the swordsman once, then pay 10 rupees and choose the hardest course. Ten logs stand in the room. Lock on to each log with Z and hit it with a jump attack. Each log is worth 3 points, so you need all ten for the perfect 30. Retry as often as you like for another 10 rupees each time. See the Clock Town chapter.

West Clock Town - Rosa Sisters

7. West Clock Town – Rosa Sisters

Where: the courtyard in West Clock Town where the Rosa Sisters rehearse. When: the First or Second Night. Needs: Kamaro’s Mask.

How to get it: Kamaro appears on a mushroom-shaped rock in Termina Field between midnight and 6 AM; play him the Song of Healing as Hylian Link to get the mask. Then go to the Rosa Sisters at night, wear the mask and stand in front of them. Press B to dance and keep going until they ask you to teach them and copy your steps. They finish their routine and reward you with the piece, and the Bombers’ Notebook fills in a page. The full errand is in Kamaro’s Mask and the Rosa Sisters section.

Clock Town - Mailbox

8. Clock Town – Mailbox

Where: any mailbox in Clock Town, North, South, East and West. When: from 6 PM on the Final Day. Needs: the Postman’s Hat.

How to get it: Complete the first half of the Anju and Kafei chain until you hold the Special Delivery to Mama. After 6 PM on the Final Day give it to the Postman at the Post Office, follow him as he delivers it to the Milk Bar and then talk to him outside to receive the hat. Put it on and look into the mailboxes around town: the first mailbox you open holds the Piece of Heart. The Postman’s Hat and Madame Aroma’s bottle both need the same letter, so you can only pick one reward per cycle.

East Clock Town - Honey & Darling's Shop

10. East Clock Town – Honey & Darling’s Shop

Where: Honey & Darling’s Shop in East Clock Town. When: 6 AM to 10 PM, closing earlier on the Final Day, all three days in one cycle. Needs: Bombchu, bombs and the Hero’s Bow, 10 rupees a game.

How to get it: A different game runs each day and each costs 10 rupees. On the First Day you blow up the targets with Bombchu (buy them at the Bomb Shop). On the Second Day you throw bombs into the baskets. On the Final Day you shoot targets with the bow. You need a perfect result each day. The First and Second Day wins pay 50 rupees each, and the Final Day win gives the piece. You must win on all three days of one cycle, so if you miss a day, play the Song of Time and start again from the First Day.

East Clock Town - Treasure Chest Shop

11. East Clock Town – Treasure Chest Shop

Where: the Treasure Chest Shop in East Clock Town. When: 6 AM to 10 PM, closing earlier on the Final Day. Needs: Goron Mask, 30 rupees.

How to get it: Enter as Goron Link, pay 30 rupees and the shopkeeper lets you into the chest room. Reach the chest before time runs out. The prize depends on your form, and the Goron prize is the Piece of Heart. The other forms cost less: Hylian 20, Deku 10, Zora 5. See Mini-Games for the full price table.

Stock Pot Inn - Anju's Grandmother (Story 1)

12. Stock Pot Inn – Anju’s Grandmother (Story 1)

Where: the Stock Pot Inn in East Clock Town, in the room where Anju’s Grandmother sits. When: daytime of the First or Second Day. Needs: All-Night Mask.

How to get it: The All-Night Mask goes on sale at the Curiosity Shop for 500 rupees on the night of the Final Day, and you need the Giant’s Wallet and the old lady saved from Sakon to buy it, so you collect this piece in a later cycle. In daylight on the First or Second Day, wear the mask, sit with the grandmother and say yes to her first story, about the Carnival of Time. When she asks her question at the end, choose the top answer. She gives you the piece. Without the mask you fall asleep during the story and miss the question. The mask is covered in the Mask Collection Guide.

Stock Pot Inn - Anju's Grandmother (Story 2)

13. Stock Pot Inn – Anju’s Grandmother (Story 2)

Where: the same room in the Stock Pot Inn. When: daytime of the First or Second Day, after the first story. Needs: All-Night Mask.

How to get it: Stay for her second story, about the Four Giants of Termina, still wearing the All-Night Mask. At the end she asks a question; answer “I dunno”. She gives you a second Piece of Heart.

East Clock Town - Mayor's Residence

14. East Clock Town – Mayor’s Residence

Where: the Mayor’s Residence in East Clock Town, in the meeting room on the left. When: from 10 AM into the evening (arrive before 6 PM to be safe). Needs: Couple’s Mask.

How to get it: Finish the Anju and Kafei quest and you receive the Couple’s Mask at about 4:30 AM on the Final Day when the couple finally meet in the inn. Play the Song of Time to return to the First Day; you keep the Couple’s Mask. The Mayor’s office opens at 10 AM, after the time when the previous cycle would have ended. In the new cycle, go into the Mayor’s Residence, enter the meeting room where Mayor Dotour and his advisers are arguing, and put the mask on. They calm down, the meeting ends and the Mayor gives you the Piece of Heart. The meeting runs from 10 AM into the evening, so arrive well before 6 PM.

West Clock Town - Bank

15. West Clock Town – Bank

Where: the Bank in West Clock Town (on the N64; the 3DS moves it to South Clock Town). When: any time the bank is open. Needs: 5,000 rupees deposited in total across all cycles.

How to get it: Talk to the banker and deposit rupees; the bank keeps a running total of everything you have ever deposited, and you can withdraw again at any time without losing the count. A total of 200 earns the Adult Wallet (200 rupees), and a total of 5,000 earns the Piece of Heart. Deposits survive the Song of Time, so spread them across cycles. See Bank and Adult Wallet in the Clock Town chapter.

North Clock Town - Keaton Quiz

16. North Clock Town – Keaton Quiz

Where: the ring of moving grass in North Clock Town, near the playground. When: any day after you own the mask. Needs: Keaton Mask.

How to get it: The Man from the Curiosity Shop gives you the Keaton Mask free on the Final Day, together with the Special Delivery to Mama, if you did not save the old lady from Sakon on the First Night. Put it on and cut the grass that moves by itself. A Keaton spirit asks you five questions about people and events in the game, and one wrong answer ends the quiz. The piece comes the first time you answer all five. The same quiz also appears on Milk Road and in Mountain Village after spring. The questions are on Keaton Quiz.

Termina Field (5 pieces)

The five field pieces sit in grottoes and holes, plus one scrub who sells his piece.

Termina Field's open grassland with tree stumps and wooden posts under a blue sky
Termina Field - Astral Observatory Business Scrub

17. Termina Field – Astral Observatory Business Scrub

Where: a hole just outside the Astral Observatory in Termina Field. When: after you hand the Moon’s Tear to the Clock Town scrub. Needs: the Adult Wallet, 150 rupees (or 100 after you haggle), and a Magic Bean if the fence is in your way.

How to get it: Give the Moon’s Tear to the Business Scrub in South Clock Town first, then go to the Observatory through the Bombers’ hideout. The Observatory telescope shows the Business Scrub going into a hole just outside the Observatory. Go out to that hole and drop in. He sells you a Piece of Heart for 150 rupees. Say no once and the price falls to 100; refuse again and he leaves until the next cycle, so carry at least 150 before you talk to him. If the fence outside the Observatory stops you on foot, buy a Magic Bean from the Deku Scrub in the swamp, plant it outside the Observatory, water it with the Song of Storms and ride the plant over the fence. You need the Adult Wallet, because the starting wallet cannot hold that much. This piece is shown in the Clock Town chapter and in Hidden Hole Locations.

The Business Scrub stands on his Deku Flower beside Deku Link

Wear one mask and play its song to the large stone in all four grottoes: the Sonata of Awakening as Deku Link, the Goron Lullaby as Goron Link or New Wave Bossa Nova as Zora Link. The same song must be played in each one. The piece comes when the fourth stone is done. The Mask of Truth lets you hear what the stones say, but it is not required. Doing it again later pays a silver rupee. See Hidden Hole Locations for the four entrances.

It shows each dog’s thoughts, and a confident “Ruff!” is a good sign. The Mask of Truth comes from the Swamp Spider House (see Swamp Spider House). Learn more in the Clock Town chapter and Mini-Games.

The box reads that all of the Gold Skulltula Spirits are collected and the curse is lifted in the Swamp Spider House

Southern Swamp, Deku Palace and Woodfall (7 pieces)

The Title Deed chain: five pieces in one cycle

Five pieces come from one chain of Business Scrub trades, and every deed is lost when you play the Song of Time, so plan the whole chain for a single cycle. Start by delivering the Moon’s Tear, then carry each deed to the next scrub. Each scrub leaves a Deku Flower behind that carries you to a Piece of Heart, so bring the Deku Mask. Use the Owl Statues and the Song of Soaring to move between regions quickly.

5Beside Sakon’s Hideout, Ikana Canyon (as Zora Link)Ocean Title DeedHuge Rupee (200 rupees)Ikana Canyon cliff

The order matters, because each scrub only accepts the deed from the one before. You need the Deku Mask for every flower, the Goron Mask for the Zora Hall trade and and the Zora Mask for the Ikana trade. If a trade goes wrong, play the Song of Time and start again; the pieces you already collected stay with you. The chain is described stop by stop in the opening chapter, the swamp chapter, the Snowhead chapter, the Great Bay chapter and the Ikana chapter.

Pieces tied to a day or time

Most pieces can be collected whenever you like, but these have a window. Plan the cycle around them and reset with the Song of Time when you miss one. See The Three-Day Cycle for how days and nights work.

N64 and 3DS differences

Both versions have 52 pieces, but two of them trade places with an Empty Bottle. Koume’s Boat Cruise gives a piece on the N64 and a bottle on the 3DS, while Dampe’s graveyard dig in Ikana gives a bottle on the N64 and the piece on the 3DS. The 3DS also moves the bank to South Clock Town and pays Fishing Hole Passes for the first two Deku Playground and Honey & Darling wins.
