A '''Link Rating''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|ＬＩＮＫLINK|リンク}}の{{Ruby|数|すう}}{{Ruby|字値|じ}}{{Ruby|分|ぶんち}} ''Rinku no Sūjibunsūchi'', "Link Number"), <ref>Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Rule Book</ref> often referred to as simply '''Link''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|ＬＩＮＫLINK|リンク}} ''Rinku''), and in OCG card texts, simply '''number of [[Link Arrow|Link Markers]]''' (Japanese: リンクマーカーの{{Ruby|数|かず}} ''Rinku Mākā no kazu''), is a property exclusive to [[Link Monster]]s, in place of a [[Level]] or a [[Rank]]. The original Link Rating of a Link Monster Card is located next to its [[ATK]], in the space normally taken up by the [[DEF]] on other [[Monster Card]] types.
A Link Monster's Link Rating is equal to the number of [[Link Arrow]]s it has, and also the number of [[Link Material]]s that must be used for its [[Link Summon]]. If a Link Monster is used as Link Material, it can either be treated as either a single Link Material or multiple Link Materials equal to its Link Rating.
