Why does it say that my code doesn't remove the text decoration underline from a:link?

What is wrong with my code?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <div class="primary-content t-border">
      <p class='intro'>
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

Hi,

In your css; 

a:link{
   text-decoration-line: none;
}

text-decorqation-link does not exist. - And, a:link is not recognised css.

You should write:

a {
   text-decoration: none;
}

weird... normally I can just do a{} and then it automatically styles the unvisited links. Anyway, I see that I was a bit too fast in my first response with the a:link, I had just never seen it used before; neither here nor on other courses I have been participating in. But reading up on it, I can see that it is completely valid css, for that I am sorry! :).
