A screenshot of apoplexy displaying the room links of level 4 of 4D Prince of Persia.

A broken room link is a room link that changes the level into a structure that could not exist in real life. Exiting a room on one side will bring the prince into a room that does not have the previous room attached to it, at least not at the side it would be in real life. For example, if the right room link of room 22 is 5, and the left room link of room 5 is 5, exiting room 22 to the right will bring the prince into room 5, but subsequently exiting room 5 to the left will not bring the prince back to room 22. Instead, the prince will reenter room 5 on the right.
