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

Mechanics

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.[1]
