Extra Link
An Extra Link (Japanese:
A player can perform an Extra Link so long as the following conditions are met:
- A Link Monster is in the Extra Monster Zone while the other Extra Monster Zone is unoccupied.
- Three Link Monsters occuply all three central Main Monster Zones 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.
- Each of the above Link Monsters must be co-linked with each other orthogonally.
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 to the Link Monster from the Extra Link in that column. However, performing the Link Summon must not disturb the Extra Link by using the involved Link Monsters 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.
