Link Summon is a special summoning method in the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game that allows players to summon powerful monsters called Link Monsters. To perform a Link Summon, players must use a specific number of their monsters as materials, which are sent to the Graveyard. The number of materials required is indicated on the Link Monster's card. Link Monsters have a unique feature: they do not have a level or rank but instead have a Link Rating, which determines how many monsters are needed for their summoning. Additionally, they have arrows that point to zones on the field, influencing where other monsters can be summoned and enhancing strategic gameplay.
