In the sentence, there is no linking verb.
The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object is a different form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (My feet got wet. feet->wet).
In the sentence, 'Where are the children?' (the children are where), the place where the children are is not another form of the subject children.
The linking verb in "where are the children" is "are." It links the subject "children" to its location.

"Was" is a linking verb. It is used to connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement that describes or renames the subject.
"Was" is a helping verb that is used with other verbs to indicate tense. For example, in the sentence "She was running," "was" is helping the main verb "running."
