Figured it out! Realized that ACF Repeater uses arrays so I ended up using array_slice.
<?php
$repeater = get_field('repeater_name');
$rows = array_slice($repeater, -8, 8, true);
?>
<?php foreach( $rows as $row ): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $row['link']; ?>" title="<?php echo $row['field_name']; ?>"><?php echo $row['field_name']; ?></a>
<?php endforeach; ?>
