A Link Monster's Link Number is equal to the number of [[Link Arrow]]s it has, and is also the number of [[Link Material]]s that must be sent from the field to the Graveyard to [[Link Summon]] it. If a Link Monster is used as a Link Material, it can either be optionally treated as either a single Link Material or a number of Link Materials equal to its Link Number. Link Monsters with a Link Number of 3 or higher all require a variable number of Link Materials, with a minimum of 2.

As Link Monsters do not have Levels or Ranks, they cannot be used for [[Ritual Summon|Ritual]], [[Synchro Summon|Synchro]], or [[Xyz Summon]]s; and any effects that would refer to the Level or Rank of a monster, such as those of "[[Gravity Bind]]", "[[Level Limit - Area B]]" and "[[Planckton]]", do not affect Link Monsters. Since Link Monsters do not have Levels, cards such as "[[Star Changer]]", "[[Scanner]]" and "[[Yellow-Bellied Oni]]" do not affect them at all. Cards that modify Levels or Ranks such as "[[Harmonic Waves]]", "[[Feedback Warrior]]", and "[[Xiangsheng Magician]]" also do not affect Link Monsters.

It appears that a Link Monster's LINK Rating has the same role of gauging the maximum original ATK it can have as with Levels and Ranks. So far, the limits are:
 
−
* 1000 ATK for Link 1 monsters
 
−
* 2000 ATK for Link 2 monsters
 
−
* 2600 ATK for Link 3 monsters
 
−
* 3000 ATK for Link 4 monsters

A Link Rating (Japanese: LINK（リンク）の数（すう）値（ち） Rinku no sūchi, "Link Number"),[1] often referred to as simply Link (Japanese: LINK（リンク） Rinku), and in OCG card texts, simply number of Link Markers (Japanese: リンクマーカーの数（かず） Rinku Mākā no kazu), is a property exclusive to Link Monsters, 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 Arrows it has, and also the number of Link Materials 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.
