Torus links are topological links that can be arranged so that they lie on the surface of a standardly embedded solid torus. Legendrian torus links are topological torus links that satisfy an extra geometrical condition imposed by a contact structure. Etnyre and Honda classified Legendrian torus knots. I will discuss work by Jennifer Dalton and myself on the classification of Legendrian torus links.
