Extra Link
An Extra Link is a chain of co-links that connects both Extra Monster Zones. This allows a player to control monsters in both Extra Monster Zones simultaneously. Since they are both occupied, the opponent cannot use either of the Extra Monster Zones unless they perform a Summon by removing a monster from one of the Zones (e.g. using a monster in one of the Extra Monster Zones as Material).
A player can perform an Extra Link, so long as the following conditions are met:
- The player controls a Link Monster in an Extra Monster Zone while the other Extra Monster Zone is unoccupied.
- The three middle Main Monster Zones on one side of the field must be occupied by Link Monsters.
- Each of the Link Monsters involved in the Extra Link must be co-linked with the orthogonally adjacent Link Monsters that are also involved in the Extra Link.
- The Link Monster involved in the Extra Link occupying the Main Monster Zone 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:
- The Summoned Link Monster must be co-linked with the Link Monster involved in the Extra Link that is in the same column.
- 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, in which each Link Monster is co-linked with the monsters orthogonally adjacent to it.
