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.

[[File:D-Link Gauge KHBBS.png|right|thumb|The D-Link Gauge.]]
[[File:D-Link Gauge KHBBS.png|thumb|The D-Link Gauge.]]
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.

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.


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.

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.

==Mirage Arena D-Links==
In the original PSP releases of ''Birth by Sleep'', players could D-Link with other players via local play within the [[Mirage Arena]] to obtain their Command Deck and Finish Commands as unique D-Links that can be used through the game. Due to a lack of a multiplayer function, this feature was removed in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX]]'' version.

==Trivia==
* When using the Ventus D-Link, the [[Wayward Wind]] Keyblade sprite above the Command Gauge uses its original design from ''{{c|Birth by Sleep|video}}'', with the teeth and guard on opposite sides of the blade.
