Okay, so, Link summoning... Here's the best explanation I've found.

D/D/D's are FREAKING dead, but the mechanic puts a massive slowdown on Zoodiacs, so I guess that's a fair trade-off. Also, the first new Yugioh mechanic that actually inherently causes player interaction, so that's a plus.

Nerfed Pendulum too, taking away their extra zones and thus cramping their S/T zones. Nothing to complain about there, as it's pretty much what they should of done in the first place.

Oh, and holy crap, the specific zones actually matter. The last time they had anything to do with that mechanic was back in the trash fire that is Cyberdark Impact, which was over a freaking decade ago.
