Link State

A monster is in a Linked State (リンクじょうたい, 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 (そうリンク, Sougo Rinku) is a kind of Link State that occurs when two Link Monsters' Link Markers 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 Links that connects both Extra Monster Zones. This 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:

  1. The player controls a Link Monster in an Extra Monster Zone while the other Extra Monster Zone is unoccupied.
  2. The three middle Main Monster Zones on the player's side of the field must be occupied by Link Monsters each in a Mutual Link with each other.
  3. The Link Monster controlled in the Extra Monster Zone and the Link Monster in the same column as it must be in a Mutual Link.
  4. The Link Monster in the same column as the unoccupied Extra Monster Zone must have a Link Marker pointing to that zone.

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:

  1. The newly-Summoned Link Monster must be in a Mutual Link with the Link Monster in the same column.
  2. Performing the Summon of that Link Monster must not disturb the Extra Link (e.g. by using the monsters involved in the Extra Link as Link Materials).

The final result is a U-shaped chain of five Link Monsters where each monster is in a Mutual Link with the monsters orthogonally adjacent to it.
