There exist many replacement options for official WonderSwan link cables.

WS LinkC

Created by zwenergy; notably, it uses an USB-C cable to transfer link cable signals, ensuring easy replacement.

Note: NEVER use this adapter to connect an USB-C device to a WonderSwan. It won't work and risks the chance of damaging the WonderSwan, the USB-C device, or both!

Products

The RetroOnyx Serial Link Cable is a ready-made link cable replacement. Notably, it uses a proper replica of the extension port connector, as opposed to repurposing an HDMI port.

WS Communication Adapter Kit (RETRO PROTECT)

A modified commercial version of WS LinkC, sold by RETRO PROTECT in Japan.
