| The {{nihongo|'''Dimension Link'''|ディメンションリンク|Dimenshon Rinku}}, abbreviated to '''D-Link''', is a feature similar to [[summon]]ing that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. It allows the user to summon another character's power from across the worlds. | | {{expand|create=Symbol information for recently revealed D-Links.}} |

| | The '''Dimension Link''', also known as '''D-Link''', is a feature of [[Summon|summoning]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. Its name connects to its purpose as a link to summon a character's power from another world. |
|
| |
|
| ==Story==
| | The player is also able to D-Link their friends while using their wireless functions. They appear as Terra, Aqua and Ven in their armor. It is unknown if a character can summon their own armored form. |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
| |
| [[Aqua]] makes three [[Wayfinder]]s, and she gives two of them to [[Terra]] and [[Ventus]] the night before she and Terra take the [[Mark of Mastery exam]]. After telling the legend behind the Wayfinder, she explains that she added some magic to the ones she made, representing an "unbreakable connection".
| |
|
| |
|
| As the three of them journey from world to world, the bonds they make with those they meet along the way create D-Links, through the power of their Wayfinders.
| | ==Usage== |
| | To use the D-Link system, you must add the it as a D-Link Command into your separate D-Link menu and can only use it when your D-Link (or Dimension Link) gauge is full. The D-Link gauge is blue and next to the [[Hit Points|HP]] meter. You fill up your D-Link gauge by obtaining dropped blue prizes from enemies like obtaining [[Drive Orb]]s to fill your [[Drive Gauge]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. |
| | |
| | Once you have linked with a character, it changes the Command Menu gauge that is also used for Mode Changes to show how long your companion stays on the field and the face of the companion you’ve linked to will show up on the bottom right of the screen. By linking to them you will get more powerful, and be able to use unique Finish moves which have two different power up levels which they perform after gaining certain symbols next to their character image on the right of the screen. |
| | |
| | ==Characters, Symbols, and Attacks== |
| | ===[[Terra]]=== |
| | *1 Symbol: Gold Seal (From Terra's belt) |
| | *2 Symbols: Shield |
| | |
| | ===[[Ventus|Ven]]=== |

| | ===[[Cinderella]]=== |
| | *1 Symbol: Tiara |
| | *2 Symbols: Glass Slippers |
| | |
| | When you have 0-1 Symbols, you can activate “Dream Sparkle” which raises enemies up into the sky by a magic light. At 2 Symbols, you can activate “Dream Waltz”, where you will spin making a magic vortex. With either one, when you’re suppose to start the Finish move, the Carriage will appear. The Carriage will move towards the castle when you press the button at the right time. <ref>'''''[http://forums.khinsider.com/future-kingdom-hearts/135592-famitsu-psp-ps3-special-interview.html KHInsider],''''' "Once the D-LINK gauge is full, you can activate the “Dimension Link”, where you can borrow the power of Disney characters that are your friends. When activated all of your Deck Commands will change to special moves, and you can perform special Finish moves based on how many Symbols you’ve collected. The characters you can borrow powers from will increase as you play the game. This time we’ll be introducing #626 (Stitch) and Cinderella."</ref> |
| | |
| | ===[[Snow White]]=== |
| | *1 Symbol: Blue Bird |
| | *2 Symbols: Rabbit |
| | When you have 2 Symbols, You can execute "Colorful Diamonds", creating seven colored jewels surrounding you and sending them to attack nearby enemies. The commands available are mostly Magic based like, Sleep, Blackout, Mini, [[Curaga]], and [[Aeroga]]. |

| | *1 Symbol: Laser Gun |
| | *2 Symbols: Spaceship |
| | |
| | When you have 0 -1 Symbols, you can activate “Reflect Beam”. If you press the button that appears on the screen at the right time, a beam that can reflect objects will appear. When you have 2 Symbols you can activate “Ohana Beam”. Buttons will go from right to left, and if you’ve hit them all a sound wave will come from the a ukulele and attack your enemies. It seems you can use both at the same time. The Commands you can use are mostly Thunder-types. “Thunder Blitz”, “Stun Blade”, and “Esuna” are the first ones you get. Also, there are effects when you are in D-LINK, with 1 Symbol giving you an “Attack Up”, and 2 Symbols giving you “CP x 2”. |

| | *2 Symbols: [[Dagger]] |
| | |
| | ===[[Maleficent]]=== |
| | *1 Symbol: Staff |
| | *2 Symbols: [[Diablo]] |
|
| |
|
| ==Usage== | | ===[[Donald Duck]]=== |
| [[File:D-Link Gauge KHBBS.png|thumb|The D-Link Gauge.]] | | *1 Symbol: Mage's Hat |
| A Dimension Link can only be activated when the blue D-Link Gauge is full. The gauge is located directly above the HP gauge, and it is filled by picking up blue D-Link prizes, or by using a [[Balloon Letter]]. The protagonists can activate D-Links by pressing {{button|right}} on the D-pad and selecting an enabled link from the list. D-Links cannot be activated if there are temporary allies in the party, and during the battle against {{ns|Game|Terra-Xehanort}} in Terra's scenario.
| | *2 Symbols: [[Mage's Staff]] |
| | When you have 2 Symbols, you can execute "Force Flare". As seen in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', it is one of Donald's [[Limit]]s with Sora. |
| | |
| | ===[[Goofy]]=== |
| | *1 Symbol: Knight's Helmet |
| | *2 Symbols: [[Knight's Shield]] |
| | |
| | ===[[Vanitas]]=== |
| | This D-Link is only available in the last battle of Ventus´ story, when Vanitas destroys the pillar of Awakening. It allows you to fly (but not for many time because Vanitas will be most of the time attacking you) and also gives you the necessary attacks to defeat Vanitas once and for all. |
| | |
| | ==Wireless D-Links== |
| | Players also have the ability to connect with other players wirelessly and make them available for the D-Link system. You can link up with friends and set up a D-Link with their character and can use their character's abilities. |
|
| |
|
| Activating a D-Link immediately restores all lost HP. While the link is active, the equipped Command Deck is replaced with the deck associated with the link. Additionally, the Command Gauge changes its appearance to reflect the linked character, and a sprite of the character appears above that of the player character. Upon filling the Command Gauge, the player can use a unique Finish command. While the link is active, the D-Link Gauge decreases continuously, and the link is broken when the gauge is completely empty. Alternatively, the player can deactivate the D-Link early by selecting "Revert" from the D-Link menu, by leaving the area, or by bringing up the main menu.
| | ===[[Terra]]=== |

| | *1 Symbol: |
| [[File:D-Link Emblem KHBBS.png|100px|thumb|left|The D-Link emblem resembles a [[Wayfinder]].]]
| | *2 Symbols: |
| While the player character is using a D-Link, defeated enemies have a chance of dropping a special {{nihongo|'''emblem'''|シンボルマーク|Shinboru Māku|lit. "Symbol Mark"}} that can be collected to raise the D-Link's level, expanding its Command Deck and unlocking a unique ability, as represented by the symbols to the left of the linked companion's sprite. Bringing the link up to Level 2 expands the deck again, adds a second ability, and grants access to a more powerful Finish command. Once a D-Link has reached Level 2, any additional emblems collected simply restore the D-Link Gauge.
| |
|
| |
|
| D-Links can be disabled from being used in-battle from the main menu, under "D-Links". This can be used to shorten the D-Link menu, making it easier to select the desired link quickly.

| In the PSP releases of the game, the player can create custom D-Links based on their friends' characters at the [[Mirage Arena]], using the PSP's wireless connection. This feature is not present in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX]]'' release due to the removal of multiplayer. These D-Links can also be removed or replaced at player discretion. The custom D-Link will operate as a variant of the Terra, Ventus, or Aqua D-Links, depending on which character their friend is using, but its Command Deck and Finish Command will match whatever commands the friend had equipped when the D-Link was created. Regardless of level, these D-Links' sprites are an armored version of the character the friend is playing as. Like the standard Terra, Ventus, and Aqua D-Links, it can be leveled up by collecting emblems, unlocking the appropriate abilities as well as any Advanced or Ultimate commands that were part of the Command Deck. However, the player cannot use any commands that their character wouldn't be able to use in normal gameplay (e.g., Terra cannot use a [[Faith]] command within the custom deck).
