About this game
Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution centers on collecting cards, assembling a customized deck and using it in card battles. Its animated-series encounters span the original Yu-Gi-Oh! through VRAINS, connecting deck construction with familiar characters and duels. A beginner tutorial introduces the trading card game's rules. Link Monsters make the location of cards part of your decisions, adding a spatial consideration to how you play a deck. Reverse Duels change your role by putting you on the villains' side of represented encounters. The updated Nintendo Switch game includes the Master Rules revision from April 2020; that is the specific rules reference for this edition, rather than an assertion that it follows every later tabletop change.
Collected in series
Yu-Gi-Oh! turns a collection of monsters, spells and traps into a deck with a plan. Digital games offer different ways to duel, from revisiting the characters’ famous encounters to testing combinations against other players. The satisfying moment is seeing several small effects work together just as you hoped.
