Trinkets

Trinkets are a kind of collectible with their designated slot that provide passive bonuses. Only one trinket can be carried at a time and must be dropped if you wish to carry another. Some of these limitations can be bypassed with certain items; and  allow two trinkets to be held at once,  and trinkets can be absorbed by, , or Gulp!. Absorbed trinkets do not take up a trinket slot and act as passive effects.

The original Binding of Isaac DLC 'The Wrath of the Lamb' introduced Trinkets as a mechanic and had 33 trinkets. Rebirth has a total of 60 trinkets. Afterbirth added 29 new trinkets, for a total of 89 trinkets. Afterbirth † added 38 new trinkets, for a total of 127 trinkets. Repentance added 61 new trinkets, for a total of 188 trinkets.

All trinkets have a chance to be Golden Trinkets.

Trivia

 * was originally a trinket in the original Binding of Isaac, but it was changed into an item.
 * Wiggle Worm was an item in the original Binding of Isaac; however, in Rebirth, it was changed into a trinket. Interestingly, these changes keep the count of items and trinkets from the original game the same.
 * Afterbirth+'s original trinket count was 29. The Booster Packs added 9 trinkets.
 * The Game Squid is the only item that was in the original Binding of Isaac that wasn't implemented into Rebirth, let alone any of its DLCs. The reason is most likely that it was an item that was added as a result of the Eternal Edition update for the original Binding of Isaac, which was implemented a while after the release of the Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.
 * The Chewed Pen, a trinket added in Repentance, has a near identical effect to the Game Squid.
