Dimension Link

The Dimension Link, also known as D-Link, is a feature of 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.

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.

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 HP meter. You fill up your D-Link gauge by obtaining dropped blue prizes from enemies like obtaining Drive Orbs 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.
