Bollobás and Thomason showed that every 22 k ‐connected graph is k ‐linked. Their result used a dense graph minor. In this paper, we investigate the ties between small graph minors and linkages. In particular, we show that a 6‐connected graph with a K   9 −minor is 3‐linked. Further, we show that a 7‐connected graph with a K   9 −minor is (2,5)‐linked. Finally, we show that a graph of order n and size at least 7 n −29 contains a K   9 −−minor. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 49: 75–91, 2005
