Link Monsters do not have Levels or Ranks.

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.
