A Link Rating (Japanese: ＬＩＮＫ (リンク) の数 (すう) 値 (ち) , Rinku no Sūchi "LINK Number") is a property exclusive to Link Monsters, 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 Arrows it has, and also the number of Link Materials 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.

"Link-" (Japanese: リンク Rinku, Link), for when the Link Rating value of the involved monster(s) are specified. This expression is followed by a number to indicate the specified Link Rating of the involved monster(s).
