Why is Moana actually needed for delivering the heart?
In Moana the plot is about a main character (Moana) who is returning the heart to Te Fiti to... well, prevent the world's end. Here's the order of events:
- Long before the story Maui steals the heart and loses it and it falls into ocean water.
- Then when Moana is a child the ocean pushes the heart to the island shore right into Moana's hands.
- Moana is immediately distracted, so her grandmother takes and stores the heart.
- Moana gets older, the island is in danger, Moana takes the heart, goes to find Maui, they together return the heart and the ocean is assisting Moana all the time.
So basically the ocean first delivers the heart to Moana, then accompanies her all the way to Te Fiti and keeps assisting her all the way.
Why coudn't the ocean just deliver the heart to Te Fiti instead?
Best Answer
According to the legend, it was implied that Maui, who stole the heart, had to put the heart back. Maui had no interest in doing this. The ocean chose Moana to convince Maui because it could tell she would be curious enough to entertain the oceanic travel her tribe (and likely other tribes) abandoned, and she had her water-worshiping grandmother influencing her.
Maui did try to deliver the stone, but he did not realize the lava monster was the island without the stone.
The ocean, being the natural water enemy of the lava monster, might not have been capable of convincing Tefiti to calm down long enough to accurately place the stone back.
It took Moana to put two and two together and conduct the act with appropriate communication in a calm manner. Moana just happened to be there to do this, as her implied job was to escort Maui. She instead inspired him.

Why does Moana need Maui to restore the heart?
Because the ocean doesn't know where Te Fiti is. That island, the source of creation, can only be found by a god. It needs Maui to be there in order to find the island to even get the heart back.Why does Moana have to return the heart?
The heart of Te Fiti allowed the creation of life and the multiple islands that would make up the homes of the world's first great navigators in the South Pacific.Why is the heart of Te Fiti important?
Moana restores Te Ka's lost heart. Te Ka presses her face to Moana's in the Maori greeting ritual called "hongi" and transforms into the island goddess Te Fiti. Directors John Musker and Ron Clements say the ending went through many variations before they decided on the sympathetic, and unusually musical, conclusion.This DARK Theory Explains Why Moana Looks EXACTLY Like Te Fiti
