The Unearthed Arcana title has been used for an approximately monthly column at the official D&D website that began in February 2015 and presents new, work-in-progress content such as class archetypes, playable races, and rule variants, similar to the playtest that preceded the release of 5th edition.
How do you get to Unearthed Arcana?
To use Unearthed Arcana content with your characters, you must have the Playtest Content toggle turned on in your character preferences in the Home section during character creation (the same way you toggle Homebrew content on and off).
How long does it take for Unearthed Arcana to become official?
It varies. At least a few months, at most a year or 2. I think the races of ravnica had the shortest playtest period of barely over 3 months.
Is Unearthed Arcana on Dndbeyond?
We at D&D Beyond regret to inform you that we will no longer be supporting Unearthed Arcana content on our platform.

Is Xanathar’s Guide to Everything official?
Scott Thorne, for ICv2, highlighted two interconnected reasons for the high sale numbers: first, “WotC has a huge untapped market out there for D&D player-targeted books and Xanathar’s Guide is the first ‘official’ […] player-oriented book released by WotC in almost two years.
Is Link a fighter or a Ranger?
Link is a Fighter. He’s proficient in a wide variety of tools and weapons, but specializes in the sword and shield. However, it’s rarely, if ever, he casts spells, so it seems more like he’d be a Champion. Zelda, as stated, can be many things depending on the game, so there’s a lot of multiclassing options.
What class would Link be 5e?
The city version of Link is best represented as a high elf and the wilderness version would be best represented as a wood elf. In the older editions of the game, Link would have been a ranger, but in the current version of the game, he’s best represented by a fighter who takes on the Champion archetype at level 3.
