This article is about Link Summons in Kingdom Hearts III.
You may be looking for the Link System from Dream Drop Distance.
Sora uses Meow Wow Balloon's finisher.

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.
