Which choice is canon in Ghost of Tsushima?

The "Spare" ending, where Jin lets his Uncle Shimura live, is widely considered the canon choice, confirmed by director Nate Fox as aligning with Jin's full embrace of the Ghost identity and rejection of strict Samurai honor, although some argue the "Kill" ending fits his character arc better.

The saddest death in Ghost of Tsushima is subjective, but most players point to Taka (the blacksmith) for his tragic, hopeful end, Jin's horse (Nobu) for the emotional bond, and Yuriko for her poignant farewell as second mother figures, with Lord Shimura's finale also deeply impactful due to Jin's internal conflict.

Which ending is the good ending of Ghost of Tsushima?

In Ghost of Tsushima, there isn't a single "good" ending, but rather two nuanced final choices: Killing Lord Shimura (the "Samurai Ending") grants him a warrior's death, honoring his code but confirming Jin as an outlaw, while Sparing Shimura (the "Ghost Ending") rejects tradition, declares Jin truly without honor, and sets him on a path to live as a fugitive but potentially with more hope for reconciliation and the future of Tsushima, with developers hinting the Spare ending is canon. Both endings conclude with Jin as the Ghost, but differ in their emotional weight and implications for his relationship with his uncle and the fading samurai world.
