{{main|Extra Link}}
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 spans from one [[Extra Monster Zone]] to the other. This allows a player to control monsters in 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:
 
# The player controls a [[Link Monster]] in an Extra Monster Zone while the other Extra Monster Zone is unoccupied.
 
# Three Link Monsters occupy all three central [[Main Monster Zone]]s on one side of the field. (The player performing the Extra Link can use three opponent's monsters as these three.)
 
# All of the above Link Monsters must be co-linked with the others that are orthogonally adjacent to it.
 
 
 
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 co-linked with the Link Monster in the Extra Link orthogonally adjacent to it. Performing the Link Summon must not disturb the Extra Link by using the Link Monsters involved as [[Link Material]]s.
 
 
 
The final result is a U-shaped chain of five Link Monsters, each co-linked to the others that are orthogonally adjacent to it.

A monster is linked (リンクじょうたい Rinku Jōtai, "Link State") if it points to another monster, OR if another monster points to it; in both cases, they are linked to each other.

Co-linked

Two monsters are co-linked (そうリンク Sōgo Rinku, "Mutual Link") if both of them point to each other.
