==Link Ratings and lack of DEF==
{{main|Link Rating}}
Link Monsters have a [[Link Rating]] in place of a [[Level]] or [[Rank]]. A Link Monster's Link Rating determines the total number of [[Link Material]]s required to [[Link Summon]] it. A Link Monster's Link Number Rating is also equal to the number of [[Link Arrow]]s it has. A Link Monster's Link Number Rating can be found next to its [[ATK]], in place of the traditional [[DEF]] value.
Link Monsters do not possess Levels or Ranks, therefore they cannot be used as material for a [[Ritual Summon|Ritual]], [[Synchro Summon|Synchro]], or [[Xyz Summon]]. 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]]".
