Theoretically it is possible with a minimum of 3 monsters, but Konami has been very careful not to print any cards with double forward diagonal arrows with which this can happen.

<p>I am a beginner at the Yugioh card game. I use sky strikers. Based on the link monster, I can summon the monster from the extra deck to the place where the monster point. Here is a figure:<br />

For balance reasons, Konami introduced a special rule for the second extra monster zone.
It is possible to occupy both, but only under certain circumstances. Just having a link monster point there is insufficient.

To occupy the second extra zone you need what is called an extra link. This means having monsters co-linked from one extra monster zone all the way to the other.
