Link Monsters do not possess Levels or Ranks, therefore they cannot be used as material for a [[Ritual Summon|Ritual]], [[Synchro Summon|Synchro]], or [[Xyz Summon]]. Also, Level or Rank-modifying cards such as "[[Harmonic Waves]]", "[[Feedback Warrior]]", or "[[Xiangsheng Magician]]" do not affect Link Monsters. The same thing can be said for Spells/Traps that affect Levels/Ranks such as "[[Gravity Bind]]", "[[Level Limit - Area B]]" or "[[Planckton]]".
Link Monsters can only exist in [[Attack Position]] (they do not have a DEF value) and cannot be either placed in or changed to [[Defense Position]] (either manually or through a card effect). This makes them unaffected by any cards that change [[battle position]]s, and cannot be placed [[face-down]]. Link Monsters cannot be targeted by an effect that would Special Summon monsters only in Defense Position (such as "[[Back to the Front]]"). These properties prevent the rotation of the card and changing which would change the directions its Link Arrows are pointing to.
