- The Great Link was endangered by the morphogenic virus created by Section 31 to kill the Founders. The Female Changeling decided to end the Dominion War in exchange for Odo curing the Great Link. (DS9 episodes: "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River", "What You Leave Behind") Following the Dominion War the Link was unpeaceful as it considered reports each Changeling had bought back of their massive defeat and consequences it continued to have in Dominion territory. The Link was also unsettled by ideas the Changeling Odo had brought back with him of not ruling with an iron fist and greater respect for solids. Despite Odo's arguments the Link persisted in quelling rebellion with the Jem'Hadar. Laas was used by the Link as a singular mouthpiece to communicate their intent to Odo. Despite Odo's initiative, to send a Jem'Hadar envoy to the Alpha Quadrant to further good relations, the Link feared an attack by the Alpha Quadrant powers in retaliation for the war.

(DS9: "The Die is Cast") In 2372, the Founders forced Odo to return to the Great Link (on the new Founders' homeworld) for judgment after he killed a fellow Changeling. As punishment for his crime, Odo's shapeshifting abilities were taken away, and he was given Human form. (DS9: "Broken Link") Unknown to the Founders at the time, Odo's temporary joining with the Link had infected all of the Changelings with a morphogenic virus that began to inhibit their natural shapeshifting abilities, slowly killing them. A cure was brought back by Odo in 2375, who single-handedly cured the entire Great Link. After curing his people, Odo decided to stay with the Link. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")
