Is it Possible to Stack Charms in Ghost of Tsushima?

There are Golden and Silver Charms in Ghost of Tsushima. Golden ones grant more benefits than their Silver counterparts, and they can be equipped within the Gear section (available in the pause menu). You start off with two regular (normal and major) Charm slots, and gradually, you can unlock up to four minor Charms by honoring the Inari Shrines which makes you able to equip a total of six Charms at any given moment. Neat, huh?

And yes, the Charms are stackable which means that the percentage bonuses stack with the following math in mind:

If you have two Charms that let’s say, have the effect “Missed standard arrows have a 25% chance of being recovered,” which is the effect of the Swift Return minor charm, equipping two of these will raise the odds to 50% because, in Ghost of Tsushima, the odds just add up. Math logic.
