A '''Reincarnation Link Summon''' is a method of [[Link Summon]]ing a [[Link Monster]] from the [[Extra Deck]] using a monster with the same name as the only [[Link Material]]. This type of Summon was first performed by [[Takeru HomuraTheodore Hamilton|Soulburner]] to Reincarnation Link Summon "[[Salamangreat Heatleo]]" in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'' anime.<ref name="vr049">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|049|ref}}</ref>

Described When using effect of "[[Salamangreat Sanctuary]]", it is described by Takeru Theodore as "the new potential of Link Summoning", this type of Summon as it bypasses the usual [[material]] requirements of the Link Monster that is to be Reincarnation Link Summoned, such as when Takeru used one monster allowing him to Link Summon a "[[Salamangreat Heatleo]]" while its usual Summoning conditions required at least two monstersLink Monster by using only a monster with the same name as material. However, this the term is also used whenever a Link Monster is used to Link Summon a Link Monster with the result of same name as itself, not just with the effect of "[[Salamangreat Sanctuary]]".<ref name="vr115">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

When performing a Reincarnation Link Summon, the Circuit created by a regular Link Summon is replaced with a magic circle. The monster to be used as Link Material transform transforms into a stream of flames , which then enter the portal. The monster then reemerges re-emerges with a slightly different appearance, such as added flames on "Heatleo", flame blades and a volcanic background for "[[Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf]]", and the red flames of "[[Salamangreat Pyro Phoenix]]" being replaced with blue flames. In later episodes, when performing a Reincarnation Link Summon with "Heatleo", it will fly out from a red digital network. When a Reincarnation Link Summon is performed by using "[[Salamangreat Transcendence (anime)|Salamangreat Transcendence]]" in the anime, it is called a Super Reincarnation Link Summon.
