A Link Monster's Link Rating 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 Rating. Link Monsters with a Link Rating of 3 or higher all require a variable number of Link Materials, with a minimum of 2.

Link Monsters do not possess Levels or Ranks, therefore they cannot be used as material for [[Ritual Summon|Ritual]], [[Synchro Summon|Synchro]], or [[Xyz Summon]]s. Also, Level or Rank-modifying cards such as "[[Harmonic Waves]]", "[[Feedback Warrior]]", or "[[Xiangsheng Magician]]" do not affect Link Monsters. The same thing can be said for Spells/Traps that affect Levels/Ranks such as "[[Gravity Bind]]", "[[Level Limit - Area B]]" or "[[Planckton]]".

A Link Rating (Japanese: LINKリンクすう 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.
