{{Infobox/Archetype/End}}
A monster is in a '''Linked State''' (リンク{{Ruby|状|じょう}}{{Ruby|態|たい}}, ''Rinku Jōtai'') if its [[Link Marker]] is pointing to a monster, or if it has at least one [[Link Monster]]'s Link Marker pointing to it.
==Mutual Link==
A '''Mutual Link''' ({{Ruby|相|そう}}{{Ruby|互|ご}}リンク, ''Sougo Rinku'') is a kind of Link State that occurs when two Link Monsters' [[Link Marker]]s are pointing to each other. For example, if one player controls a Link Monster with a Down Link Marker in an [[Extra Monster Zone]], and a Link Monster with an Up Link Marker in their [[Main Monster Zone]] in the same [[column]], then those two Link Monsters are in a Mutual Link.
==Extra Link==
An '''Extra Link''' is a chain of [[Mutual Link]]s that enables a player to occupy connects both [[Extra Monster Zone]]s simultaneously. This is the only way for allows a player to control monsters in both Extra Monster Zones simultaneously, and blocks the opponent from using either of the Extra Monster Zones.
A player can perform an Extra Link, so long as the following conditions are met:
# The player controls a [[Link Monster]] in an Extra Monster Zone while the other Extra Monster Zone is unoccupied.
# The three middle [[Main Monster Zone]]s on one the player's side of the field must be occupied by Link Monsterseach in a Mutual Link with each other.# Each of the The Link Monsters involved Monster controlled in the Extra Monster Zone and the Link Monster in the same [[column]] as it must be in a Mutual Link with the orthogonally adjacent Link Monsters that are also involved in the Extra Link.# The Link Monster involved in the Extra Link occupying the Main Monster Zone in the same [[column]] as the unoccupied Extra Monster Zone must have a Link Marker pointing to that unoccupied Extra Monster Zonezone.
In that case, a Link Monster can be Summoned to the unoccupied Extra Monster Zone, as long as it maintains the Extra Link by meeting the following conditions:
#The newly-Summoned Link Monster will must be in a Mutual Link with the monster involved in the Extra Link that is Monster in the same column as it.#Performing the Summon of that Link Monster does must not disturb the Extra Link (e.g. by using the monsters involved in the Extra Link as [[Link Material]]s).
The final result is a U-shaped chain of five Link Monsters, in which all five of the Link Monsters involved are where each monster is in a Mutual Link with the monsters orthogonally adjacent Link Monsters that are in that U-shapeto it.
