Original What collectibles would you consider Canon and do you think it's worth collecting them?
So that's really what I'm asking, What collectibles would you consider Canon? I know that majority if not all aren't Canon, but you could argue that for example the skull you get in Uncharted 1. As a collectible reappears as a nod and canonically in Uncharted 4IN Nathan's attic. So I would say getting that skull would be considered cannon.
But now, do you guys have a head canon of your own that they could fit canonically to the story? I heard arguments that it wouldn't make sense because Nathan has nowhere to carry them. Which makes a lot of sense since he doesn't carry a backpack.
And lastly, what type of player are you? Do you think it's more immersive when you collect them? Do you think it's worth it? Or do you just ignore them even though they're in Plainview at times? Or do you diverge path just to collect a trinket? Or do you just ignore them altogether?

To be honest i would say that every collectible that is not a reference for The last of Us or the eggs would be Canon
Maybe the easter eggs could be canon if we say that The last of us is a game that also exist in Uncharted but idk they are just references not canon in each others universes

I always thought all collectibles were canon, because of nates reputation as treasure hunter

I thought so too. You know, treasure hunter and all, he would definitely pick. Up little trinkets here and there, and I'm pretty sure he did, but for the most part they're not Canon. You could fit a couple in head cannon. But not all of them are Canon.

I like to collect the treasures that are in special areas that you find when you explore, like in 4 where you find the secret pirate hideouts. That's why I always reset the treasures when I start a new game.
