The Nintendo Game Link Cable is an accessory for the Game Boy line of handheld video game systems, allowing players to connect Game Boys of all types for multiplayer gaming. Depending on the games, a Game Link Cable can be used to link two games of the same title, like Tetris, or two compatible games like Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. Games can be linked for head-to-head competition, cooperative play, trading items, unlocking hidden features, etc.
The Game Link Cable socket and connector design influenced the design of IEEE 1394/FireWire.

“Truth is the cry of all, but the game of few.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“Before I had my first child, I never really looked forward in anticipation to the future. As I watched my son grow and learn, I began to imagine the world this generation of children would live in. I thought of the children they would have, and of their children. I felt connected to life both before my time and beyond it. Children are our link to future generations that we will never see.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
“To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.”
—Douglass Cross (b. 1920)
