'''Link Arrows''', known as '''Link Markers''' (リンクマーカー, ''Rinku Mākā'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', indicate where a [[Link Monster]] [[points to]]. Only the red arrows around a Link Monster's art frame are Link Arrows. The number of Link Arrows a Link Monster has is its [[Link Rating]].

A '''Link Marker''' is a set of indicators unique to [[Link Monster]]s, used to denote a Link Monster's [[Linked Zone]]s. A Link Monster's [[Link Number]] is equal to the number of Link Markers it has. Link Markers are represented by red arrows radiating outward from the Link Monster's art frame.

Link Arrows are not card effects and cannot be removed while the Link Monster is in a [[Monster Zone]]. If a Link Monster is in the [[Spell & Trap Zone]], it is not treated as a Link Monster; therefore, it does not have Link Arrows and cannot point to anything.

A [[Monster Zone]] which a Link Marker is pointing to becomes a Linked Zone and is considered to be of that Link Monster, and any monsters occupying those Linked Zones are considered to be '''''linked''''' to the Link Monster(s) whose Link Marker(s) are pointing to those Zones. [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]], [[Xyz Monster|Xyz]], [[Pendulum Monster|Pendulum]], and [[Link Monster]]s can be [[Special Summon]]ed from the [[Extra Deck]] to the [[Main Monster Zone]]s which are linked to a Link Monster.

Like the [[Pendulum Scale]]s on a [[Pendulum Monster]], Link Markers are separate from a Link Monster's effect. The Link Marker is active even when the Link Monster's effect is negated and vice-versa.

Link Arrows on "Decode Talker" in the anime

Link Arrows, known as Link Markers (リンクマーカー, Rinku Mākā) in the OCG, indicate where a Link Monster points to. Only the red arrows around a Link Monster's art frame are Link Arrows. The number of Link Arrows a Link Monster has is its Link Rating.

Link Arrows are not card effects and cannot be removed while the Link Monster is in a Monster Zone. If a Link Monster is in the Spell & Trap Zone, it is not treated as a Link Monster; therefore, it does not have Link Arrows and cannot point to anything.
