Overview
Link (链接, Liànjiē) is a verified social feature in Honor of Kings: World that lets players seamlessly join an ally's quest progress. Confirmed by Baidu Baike primary text, the Link system reduces friction when friends want to play together by allowing one player to directly slot into another's active quest rather than having to re-synchronize progress or restart content. This matters in an open-world game where players may be at different story chapters or questline stages.
How Link Works
When one player has an active quest in progress, a friend can use the Link feature to join them without starting the quest from the beginning. The joining player slots into the host's current quest state, helps complete the objective together, and both players receive appropriate rewards. This is different from simply matchmaking into a fresh quest run, because Link preserves the host's progress rather than resetting it.
Why It Matters
Reduces friction for friends playing on different schedules to coordinate content together
Lets a higher-level friend assist a lower-level friend on a quest without forcing either to restart content
Supports the game's emphasis on social play without requiring identical progression between party members
Complements the 4-player cooperative content by making it easier to form parties on demand
Source Note
The Link system is confirmed in Baidu Baike primary text as one of Honor of Kings: World's social features. Specific mechanics, including how rewards are distributed between the host and the joining player, have not been fully documented in English-language coverage as of the April 10, 2026 launch. This article will be expanded as more information becomes available.
