Extra Monster Zones are the 2 Zones in the center of the field where monsters Summoned from the Extra Deck are placed on the field.
If a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, Pendulum or Link Monster is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, it must be placed in either the Extra Monster Zone or a Linked Zone. (If any of these monsters would be Special Summoned from another location, it is placed in a Main Monster Zone.)
While both Extra Monster Zones are unoccupied, neither is treated as being part of the field of any player. When a player Special Summons a monster to an Extra Monster Zone, that zone is then treated as part of their field while it is occupied, while the other zone is still not part of any's field. A player can only occupy 1 Extra Monster Zone at a time, unless they create an Extra Link by connecting a line of Link Monsters from their Extra Monster Zone leading to the other Extra Monster Zone, with all Link Monsters in the line being in Mutual Links with each other. In that situation, the player is permitted to Special Summon a monster to the other Extra Monster Zone.
If control of a monster in an Extra Monster Zone is changed, it is placed in a Main Monster Zone, even when returning control to its owner
