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.

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]], those two Link Monsters are in a Mutual Link.

An '''Extra Link''' is a chain of [[Mutual Link]] that enables a player to occupy both [[Extra Monster Zone]]s simultaneously. This is the only possible method that allows a player to occupy both Extra Monster Zones. A player can perform an Extra Link, so long as the following conditions are met:

# An attempting Player controls a [[Link Monster]] in 1 of the [[Extra Monster Zone|Extra Monster Zones]] with the other Extra Monster Zone must be unoccupied. The Link Monster must have a [[Link Marker]] pointing to the [[Main Monster Zone]] in the same [[column]] as the Link Monster. (Required Link Marker: Either '''Top''' or '''Bottom''')

And that Monster is in [[Mutual Link]] with the Monster in the Extra Monster Zone. (Required Link Marker: Either '''Top''' or '''Bottom''', pointing to the Extra Monster Zone '''AND '''Either '''Left''' or '''Right''', pointing to the 3rd Main Monster Zone)

# There is another Link Monster in the 3rd Main Monster Zone. (Required Link Marker: '''Left''' AND '''Right''')

# There is another Link Monster in the same column as the unoccupied Extra Monster Zone with a Link Marker pointing towards it. (Required Link Marker: Either '''Top''' or '''Bottom''', pointing to the Extra Monster Zone '''AND '''Either '''Left''' or '''Right''', pointing to the 3rd Main Monster Zone)

After fulfilling all four requirements, the player can complete the Extra Link by Summoning a Link Monster to the unoccupied Extra Monster Zone, in Mutual Link with the Link Monster in (4) '''without disturbing''' the chain of Mutual Link. (i.e. You cannot use the Link Monsters involved in the Extra Link as [[Link Material]]s.)

The final result is a U-shaped chain of Link Monsters, in which all the Link Monsters involved are in a Mutual Link with the Link Monsters around it.

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.
