A '''Link Rating''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|LINK|リンク}}の{{Ruby|数|すう}}{{Ruby|値|ち}} ''Rinku no sūchi'', "Link Number"),<ref>Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Rule Book</ref> often referred to as simply '''Link''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|LINK|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.

A '''Link Number''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|LINK|リンク}}の{{Ruby|数|すう}}{{Ruby|字|じ}}{{Ruby|分|ぶん}} ''Rinku no Sūjibun''), often referred to as simply '''Link''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|LINK|リンク}} ''Rinku''), is a property exclusive to [[Link Monster]]s, in place of a [[Level]] or a [[Rank]]. A Link Monster's Link Number is equal to the number of [[Link Marker]]s it has.
 +
 
 +
The original Link Number 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. In the ''TCG'', the original Link Number can also be found in the [[card text]] box, on the same line as the Link Monster's [[Link Material]]s.
 +
 
 +
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 Link Number has the same role of gauging the maximum original ATK a Link Monster 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
