Abstract
Joyce observed that the Alexander invariant and the medial quandle of a classical knot are equivalent to each other, as invariants. In this paper, we discuss the rather complicated extension of Joyce's observation to several different medial quandles and reduced (one-variable) Alexander modules associated with classical links. The theme is that for links, medial quandles provide stronger invariants than reduced Alexander modules.
