Digimon Links
Hina is the navigator for Links, and is a tutorial program designed to help players navigate the Digital World. When Links first contacts her, Hina introduces them to the Digital World. A large monster then lets out a roar and fragments the Digital World, which Hina responds to by backing up the Farm data onto Links's device. Afterward, Hina begins to work with Links to restore the Digital World by collecting the fragmented data known as Clusters.

During the "Dragon Shadow of the Fire Blast" event, is found deep in a volcanic region that scrambles her ability to contact Links. Hina works with Links to gather more data and drive off Volcanicdramon. A second look at the volcanic region reveals a fiery DigiCore that turns into Vorvomon once retrieved and analyzed. Volcanicdramon then comes and attacks the DigiFarm, showing the ability to turn everything around it into a volcanic region, undoing all of Links's work in restoring the Digital World. Links is able to fend it off once more and stabilize the region. She helps Links analyze Vorvomon, revealing its ability to digivolve into Volcanicdramon.
