Two conflicting answers:
From MDN page on link tag:
A
<link>element can occur either in the<head>or<body>element, depending on whether it has a link type that is body-ok. For example, the stylesheet link type is body-ok, and therefore a<link rel="stylesheet">is permitted in the body. This isn't however best practice; it makes more sense to separate your<link>elements from your body content, putting them in your head.
From CSS The Definitive Guide (4th Edition/2017) page 10
To successfully load an external stylesheet, link must be placed inside the head element but may not be placed in any other element.
