A monster is considered to be '''Linked''' (リンク{{Ruby|状|じょう}}{{Ruby|態|たい}} ''Rinku Jōtai'', "Link State") when a [[Link Monster]]'s [[Link Arrow]] [[points to]] it, '''OR''' when it itself is a Link Monster that points to any other monsters. While cards like "[[Cynet Storm]]" refer to any Monster in this state, cards like "[[Tindangle Hound]]" care about the monsters a card is "linked to", which refers to each other monster pointing to or pointed at by an individual linked monster.
+
A monster is '''linked''' (リンク{{Ruby|状|じょう}}{{Ruby|態|たい}}, ''Rinku Jōtai'') if its [[Link Marker]] is pointing to a monster, or if it has at least one [[Link Monster]]'s Link Marker pointing to it.

'''Co-linked''' ({{Ruby|相|そう}}{{Ruby|互|ご}}リンク, ''Sōgo Rinku'') is a kind of linked that occurs when two Link Monsters' [[Link Marker]]s are pointing to each other. For example, if one player controls a Link Monster with a Down Link Marker in an [[Extra Monster Zone]], and a Link Monster with an Up Link Marker in their [[Main Monster Zone]] in the same [[column]], then those two Link Monsters are co-linked.
Multiple Link Monsters are '''co-linked''' if they point to each other.

{{main|Extra Link}}
+
An '''Extra Link''' is a chain of co-links that connects both [[Extra Monster Zone]]s. This allows a player to control monsters in both Extra Monster Zones simultaneously. Since they are both occupied, the opponent cannot use either of the Extra Monster Zones unless they perform a Summon by removing a monster from one of the Zones (e.g. using a monster in one of the Extra Monster Zones as Material).
A special Co-linked state that connects the two Extra Monster Zones. Any monster involved in an Extra Link is '''Extra Linked'''. Additionally, any monster co-linked with an Extra Linked monster is also Extra Linked.
 
  
==Examples==
+
A player can perform an Extra Link, so long as the following conditions are met:
===Example A: Linked Monsters===
+
# The player controls a [[Link Monster]] in an Extra Monster Zone while the other Extra Monster Zone is unoccupied.
<gallery position="center" captionalign="center">
+
# The three middle [[Main Monster Zone]]s on one side of the field must be occupied by Link Monsters.

+
# Each of the Link Monsters involved in the Extra Link must be co-linked with the orthogonally adjacent Link Monsters that are also involved in the Extra Link.

+
# The Link Monster involved in the Extra Link occupying the Main Monster Zone in the same [[column]] as the unoccupied Extra Monster Zone must have a Link Marker pointing to that Zone.
</gallery>
 
  
In this scenario, both "[[Ib the World Chalice Priestess]]" and "[[Crowned by the World Chalice]]" are '''linked''' monsters that are linked to each other. They are NOT co-linked.
+
In that case, a Link Monster can be Summoned to the unoccupied Extra Monster Zone, as long as it maintains the Extra Link by meeting the following conditions:
 
+
#The Summoned Link Monster must be co-linked with the Link Monster involved in the Extra Link that is in the same column.
===Example B: Co-linked Monsters===
+
#Performing the Summon of that Link Monster must not disturb the Extra Link (e.g. by using the monsters involved in the Extra Link as [[Link Material]]s).

In this scenario, not only are "[[Honeybot]]" and "[[Firewall Dragon]]" linked Monsters that are linked to each other, they are also '''co-linked''' with one another because of their arrows.
 
 
 
===Example C: Extra Linked Monsters===
 
<gallery position="center" captionalign="center">
 
File:Extra_Link.png
 
File:Extra_Link_2.png
 
</gallery>
 
In this scenario, all of the Monsters are '''Extra Linked'''. Furthermore, if a Monster present in the leftmost or rightmost [[Main Monster Zone]] was co-linked with "Firewall Dragon" (An additional "Honeybot", for example) it would be considered Extra Linked as well.
 
  
 +
The final result is a U-shaped chain of five Link Monsters, in which each Link Monster is co-linked with the monsters orthogonally adjacent to it.
