There is a hidden questline in the game that is not trackable and only progressed by finding letters, each one a Key Item referred to as "A Family's Escape", hinting to where the next one would be. This questline follows a family that is fleeing the island of Tsushima who are leaving notes for an unaccounted family member named "Toku". Spoiler:The fate of the family and of Toku are left ambiguous by the quest's end.

Toshihiro Nagoshi, the general director of the Yakuza series, was awestruck by Ghosts of Tsushima and its depiction of Japanese culture, history, and aesthetic, even going so far as to say that it was something they (Japanese game developers) should've made. He furthermore said it broke the misconception that western people do not understand Japanese culture.

"...It’s the kind of work made by non-Japanese people that makes you feel they’re even more Japanese than us. I think it’s amazing. We often believe Western people would never get certain Japanese things, but the game shows this way of thinking is wrong in the first place."

Attachment A sword kit called the "Sly Tanuki" can be found at the Iwai Village Pillar of Honor. The name and design of the sword kit is a reference to Sly Cooper. The sword kit's description reads: "For the samurai who knows neither friend nor foe... only destruction." is a reference to a quote from Murray, one of Sly's gang members. He tells Sly that he hopes his entrance did not cause him harm, saying, "The Thunder Flop knows neither friend nor foe, only destruction."
