A '''Link Arrow''', known as a '''Link Marker''' (リンクマーカー, ''Rinku Mākā'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', is an indicator unique to [[Link Monster]]s, used to denote a Link Monster's [[Link Point]]s. A Link Monster's [[Link Rating]] is equal to the number of Link Arrows it has. Link Arrows are represented by red arrows radiating outward from the Link Monster's art frame.
 
 
 
If a Link Monster is in a [[Monster Zone]], any Monster Zone pointed to by its Link Arrow and any other Link Monster whose Link Arrow points to its Monster Zone are [[linked]] to that Link Monster. Monsters can be [[Special Summon]]ed from the [[Extra Deck]] to [[Main Monster Zone]]s if they are pointed to by a Link Monster.
 
  
Link Arrows are not card effects, so links remain even if the effects of a Link Monster are [[negate]]d. If a Link Monster is treated as an [[Equip Card]], it is no longer a Link Monster, so it cannot point to anything.

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.

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.
