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 '''''[[link]]ed''''' 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. And if a Link Monster with a Link Marker pointing upward is treated as an [[Equip Card]], its Link Marker is not active. Like how Pendulum Scale is not active as an Equip Card placed in the Left/Rightmost [[Spell & Trap Zone]].

A Link Marker is a set of indicators unique to Link Monsters, used to denote a Link Monster's Linked Zones. 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.

If a Link Monster is in a Monster Zone, any Monster Zone pointed to by its Link Marker becomes a Linked Zone 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. Monsters can be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck to Main Monster Zones if they are Linked Zones.

Link Markers are not card effects, so links remain even if the effects of a Link Monster are negated. However, only Link Monsters can create links, so if a Link Monster is treated as an Equip Card, it is no longer a Link Monster and thus it can no longer create links.
