			'''Level Links''' are gameplay objects introduced in ''[[LittleBigPlanet 2]]'' that send players to a different level when entered or activated. They often take the form of the same Level Badges that populate [[Craftworld]] on the main menu, but were redesigned to resembled arched doors in ''[[LittleBigPlanet 3]]''.

	A '''~~Level Link~~'~~'' is a gameplay object introduced in~~ ''[[LittleBigPlanet 2]]'' ~~that sends players to a different level when entered or activated~~.		==Overview==
			Level Links are placed in the same manner as [[Checkpoint]]s, occupying the same sub-layer as them. They cannot be resized in ''LittleBigPlanet 2'' or ''[[LittleBigPlanet PS Vita]]'', but can in ''LittleBigPlanet 3''.

	==~~Usage and Behaviour~~==		===Linking to Another Level===
	Level Links ~~take the form of the same Level Badges that populate the Craft Earth, and occupy the same sub-layer as Checkpoints~~. When the player stands in front of a Level Link and presses {{button\|triangle}}, their Sackperson will hop inside and be sent to the ~~level shown on the badge~~.		Level Links are used to send players to another level. When the player stands in front of a Level Link and presses {{button\|triangle}}, their Sackperson will hop inside and be sent to the destination specified in its tweak menu. They can also be activated by sending a digital ON signal through its input.

	~~In ''[[LittleBigPlanet 3]]~~'', ~~Level Links were redesigned to more closely resemble Checkpoints~~, and ~~were given new functionality to accomodate~~ the ~~addition of~~ [[Adventure]]~~s. Level Links can link to other levels inside an Adventure, allowing them to be used in an offline setting~~.		Creators can tweak the Level Link's destination to any other level they've published, any public community level (using either their personal list of played/queued/hearted levels, or filters like Cool Pages, Team Picks, Highest Rated, and Most Hearted) or any other level inside the current [[Adventure]].

	Both types of Level Link have an input to load the destination level when triggered. The ~~newer~~ '~~Door~~' ~~variant~~ also has an output port, which sends a digital ON signal when a player spawns from it.

			===Respawning===
			In ''LittleBigPlanet 3'', Level Links can act as temporary respawn points if a player starts the level from one — whether by arriving from another level, or due to the level lacking a proper [[Entrance]] — and have infinite lives for this purpose. Once a proper Checkpoint has been reached, the Level Link cannot be reactivated as a Checkpoint.

	Some concept art for the original LittleBigPlanet depicts a "Link", which would have functioned exactly like a level link in LittleBigPlanet 2. Given that early footage shows what appears to be Links in certain levels, and even recovered levels from the Deploy build contain similar objects, it's likely that these were implemented before being scrapped and revisited for LittleBigPlanet 2.

	Interesting to note in the concept art is the fact that the lock on the badge is looped through the zipper pull tabs, as opposed to just being in front of the badge in the final iteration.
