Link Summons are a gameplay feature in Kingdom Hearts III, allowing Sora to fight alongside various allies. They serve as a replacement to the Summon and D-Link abilities from previous games.
Development[edit]
Mechanics[edit]
Link Summons consume all of Sora's MP to use, and his MP must be at maximum to use. When used, they give Sora access to a Command Menu that allows him to perform various attacks, and gives him the option to cancel the Link or use the Finish command to perform a final attack. Upon use, Links also restore all of Sora's HP, except on Critical Mode, where they restore half of his maximum HP. Sora remains vulnerable to damage during a Link, but will always keep 1 HP until it ends.
When activating a Link, a special cutscene will play known as a Link Cinematic in the Config menu. When turned on, they can be skipped with

; when turned off, they will never play.
