:link

The :link pseudo-class allows you to select links within elements. It will select any link that has not yet been visited, even those that are already styled, using selectors with other link-related pseudo-classes like :hover, :active or :visited. To style links properly, you need to insert :link rules before others, as defined by the LVHA order: :link - :visited - :hover - :active. The :focus pseudo-class is usually placed right before or right after :hover, depending on the desired effect.
