A '''Game Link cable''' (Japanese: '''{{j|通信ケーブル}}''' ''link cable'') is a cable used to transfer data between two [[Nintendo]] consoles, such as the [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Color]], and [[Game Boy Advance]]. They can also connect Game Boy consoles with other devices, including the [[Game Boy Camera]] and [[Game Boy Printer]].  

The [[Game Boy micro]] uses another sized cable, so there is some incompatibility among the different models over the years. Ideally, each player should have the same Game Boy model to prevent this issue. The Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP use the same Game Link cable. A Game Boy Color Game Link cable may be used with a Game Boy Advance, but it can only link Game Boy Color games, as Game Boy Advance games require more bandwidth.

===Pokémon special editions===

A special [[Game Boy Color]] Game Link cable was released with a box decorated with Pokémon; however, the cable itself was exactly the same as a regular cable.
