A [[Monster Card|monster]] is '''linked''' (リンク{{Ruby|状|じょう}}{{Ruby|態|たい}} ''Rinku Jōtai'', "Link State") if it [[points to]] another monster, OR if another monster is points to it; in both cases, they are linked to each other.

An '''Extra Link''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|EX|エクストラ}}リンク, ''Ekusutora Rinku'') is a series of five co-linked Link Monsters that go from one [[Extra Monster Zone]] to the other. This allows a player to control both Extra Monster Zones simultaneously. Since both are occupied, the opponent cannot use either of the Extra Monster Zones, unless they remove a monster from one of those zones.
 
  
A player can perform an Extra Link so long as the following conditions are met:
+
===Example C: Extra Linked Monsters===
# A [[Link Monster]] is in the Extra Monster Zone while the other Extra Monster Zone is unoccupied.
+
<gallery position="center" captionalign="center">
# Three Link Monsters occuply all three central [[Main Monster Zone]]s on one side of the field. It is possible for the player performing the Extra Link to use the opponent's monsters for these three.
+
File:Extra_Link.png
# All of the above Link Monsters must be co-linked with each other orthogonally.
+
File:Extra_Link_2.png
 
+
</gallery>
In that case, the player who controls the Link Monster in the Extra Monster Zone can Link Summon a second Link Monster to the unoccupied Extra Monster Zone, as long as it would be orthogonally co-linked to the other Link Monsters in the Extra Link. Performing the Link Summon must not disturb the Extra Link by using the Link Monsters involved as [[Link Material]]s.
+
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.
  
The final result is a U-shaped chain of five Link Monsters, each orthogonally co-linked to each other.

Link State

A monster is considered to be Linked (リンクじょうたい 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]

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

Extra Linked[edit]

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]

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]

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]

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.
