Question is spurred by Lifelink keyword.

[Lifelink X] (When this card leaves the field, you take damage equal to the Lifelink amount)

One thing we know for sure is:

discarding the card directly from HAND is NOT counted as "leaving the field". (Neither does moving a card from GAUGE ZONE to DROP ZONE, right?)

But, If cards with Lifelink effect goes to DROP ZONE from SOUL, does Lifelink X activate (i.e. player loses X life) ?

Perhaps, a better way to answer this question is to DEFINE what is THE FIELD.

What does THE FIELD encompasses?

Monster space? (Y/N) ; Does it include SOUL? (Y/N)

Gauge zone? (Y/N)

Figther Space? (Y/N)

Drop Zone? (looks like a No)

Deck Zone? (obviously No)
