I wrote about why linking is useful recently https://www.daniellittle.dev/practical-hypermedia-controls. I've been using Hypermedia in my APIs for a few years now and it's been so useful for making great APIs. One of the things I really love about it is that you can test/use the API directly much more easily, because the knowledge about how to use it is in the API itself, instead of half hardcoded into the client.
