Trivia
- This item might be a reference to the Game Link Cable, which is used to trade Pokémon (and consequently activate trade evolutions) in the first three generations of core series games (outside of trading using the Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter).
- The sprite of the Linking Cord in Pokémon Legends: Arceus takes influence from a form of Japanese knot tying called Mizuhiki. The knot in particular is an Awaji knot, which is used to represent togetherness — a possible nod to the Link Cable's original use.
- There is an evolution item in the first three games of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series called Link Cable, which works similarly to the Linking Cord but predates its introduction.
