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.

A monster is considered to be '''Linked''' (リンク{{Ruby|状|じょう}}{{Ruby|態|たい}} ''Rinku Jōtai'', "Link State") when a [[Link Monster]]'s [[Link Arrow]] [[points to]] it, '''OR''' when it itself is a Link Monster that points to any other monsters. While cards like "[[Cynet Storm]]" refer to any Monster in this state, cards like "[[Tindangle Hound]]" care about the monsters a card is "linked to", which refers to each other monster pointing to or pointed at by an individual linked monster.

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 Markers are pointing to each other, such as if a Link Monster with an Up Link Marker is below a Link Monster with a Down Link Marker.

# The player controls a Link Monster in an Extra Monster Zone and the other Extra Monster Zone is unoccupied.

A special Co-linked state that connects the two Extra Monster Zones. Any monster involved in an Extra Link is '''Extra Linked'''. Additionally, any monster co-linked with an Extra Linked monster is also Extra Linked.

Link State

A monster is considered to be Linked (リンク状（じょう）態（たい） Rinku Jōtai, "Link State") when a Link Monster's Link Arrow points to it, OR when it itself is a Link Monster that points to any other monsters. While cards like "Cynet Storm" refer to any Monster in this state, cards like "Tindangle Hound" care about the monsters a card is "linked to", which refers to each other monster pointing to or pointed at by an individual linked monster.

Co-linked[edit]

Main article: Co-linked

Multiple Link Monsters are co-linked if they point to each other.

Extra Linked[edit]

Main article: Extra Link

A special Co-linked state that connects the two Extra Monster Zones. Any monster involved in an Extra Link is Extra Linked. Additionally, any monster co-linked with an Extra Linked monster is also Extra Linked.

Examples[edit]

Example A: Linked Monsters[edit]

  • IbtheWorldChalicePriestess-COTD-EN-1E-OP.png
  • CrownedbytheWorldChalice-COTD-EN-C-1E.png

In this scenario, both "Ib the World Chalice Priestess" and "Crowned by the World Chalice" are linked monsters that are linked to each other. They are NOT co-linked.

Example B: Co-linked Monsters[edit]

  • Honeybot-YS17-EN-SR-1E.png
  • FirewallDragon-COTD-EN-ScR-1E.png

In this scenario, not only are "Honeybot" and "Firewall Dragon" linked Monsters that are linked to each other, they are also co-linked with one another because of their arrows.

Example C: Extra Linked Monsters[edit]

  • Extra Link.png
  • Extra Link 2.png

In this scenario, all of the Monsters are Extra Linked. Furthermore, if a Monster present in the leftmost or rightmost Main Monster Zone was co-linked with "Firewall Dragon" (An additional "Honeybot", for example) it would be considered Extra Linked as well.
