I'd assume that anything that classifies as a living thing would be able to link, and water itself does not count.

Atrus destroys his Myst linking book in Haven by swimming out to the middle of the lake and linking. ... or you could just assume that animals can't link and that the book is impossible to find down there.

It's like taking a step forward... to a parallel universe. ;) Apparently, everything that goes with you when you take a step forward is what happens when you link.

I'm constantly telling myself it's all just a pipe dream. If I walk into a theatre to see a <em>Myst</em>-based film some day, it's going to be a world-changing experience. On the topic of linking through water: don't you think the water would ruin the book before anything could really link out, anyway? It's not like they had special D'ni waterproof ink.

I've never heard of anyone other than a human-esque being linking through them. (Everything else was brought along by said humans) That brings up the question of what exactly can “use” a linking book?

Say someone drops their linking book into an ocean filled with microscopic and not so microscopic organisms and sinks to the bottom, linking panel up. What would the link in spot for the world it goes to look like?! It'd probably be wet for one thing. Maybe it would look like just some spot of slimy algae? Would it attract barnacles? fish? a whale?! Linking books left out in the open could be dangerous too. What if one was left out here on earth, say in some subtropic or tropic clime? We'd have a health crisis on the other end if mosquitoes landed on the panel! We have a hard enough time fighting off those diseases in places where there is a natural immunity!
