- Ghost Of Tsushima: Legends Masks
Open-world gaming was hardly revelatory when Ghost of Tsushima arrived on the scene in 2020, but the best examples of this popular genre are the ones that differentiate themselves from the pack in meaningful ways. Collecting masks, for example; it may sound like "just another trinket search" that so many open worlds have liberally copied from each other, but these masks have character to them. They're powerful symbols of Jin's era, and finding them all sheds further light on a well-developed setting.

All that is to say, collecting every mask in Ghost of Tsushima is fun. The game's art team clearly had a blast designing them, so let's leave no stone unturned in our mission to see them all.
What Do Masks Do?
Depending on one's perspective, the answer to this question can vary from "nothing whatsoever" to "everything I ever wanted." Masks are purely cosmetic. Whereas other equipment categories, most importantly armor, help to dictate Jin's battle prowess, masks are all about style.
If your idea of a good time is making Jin look all the more terrifying to unsuspecting Mongol foes, Ghost of Tsushima has some very lovely facial gear in store for you. If you'd rather maintain the fullness of our avenging hero's handsome mug at all times, masks aren't going to be hugely important to you. But they're still cool, so let's get them anyway.
