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.

“This is what we fear—no sight, no sound,
No touch or taste or smell, nothing to think with,
Nothing to love or link with,
The anaesthetic from which none come round.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.”
—Douglass Cross (b. 1920)
