Charms are items in Ghost of Tsushima and Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island that provide various benefits to Jin Sakai both in and out of combat. They are usually obtained by honoring Shinto Shrines, completing side quests, or growing Jin's Legend. Minor charms, represented by a silver icon instead of gold, grant lesser benefits than major charms.

Two major charm slots are available from the beginning of the game. Up to four additional minor charm slots are unlocked by honoring Inari Shrines. In total, the player can equip six charms at once. Doing so will unlock the bronze trophy "A Charming Man."

In New Game+, additional charms become available for purchase from Baku the Voiceless.
