No, "over the bushes" is a prepositional phrase. Linking verbs link the subject to the predicate nominative or a predicate adjective.
Likes is a linking verb. It's a linking verb because if you use the sentence "She likes to play ball,", it would be a linking verb because you can like.
A linking verb has a complement which describes the subject; an action verb has a complement which is acted on by the verb. For instance: in "he feels the ball" the ball is acted upon by the verb and does not describe "he", but in "he feels cold", the word cold describes "he". The questions are "WHAT did he feel?" for actions and "HOW did he feel?" for linking verbs. (Note: if the complement is included you might get "how" for action verbs, as in "how did he feel the ball?)

Was is a linking verb.
Yes, that's correct. There's no action in a linking verb so there can't be a direct object. A linking verb (usually the verb 'be') is followed by either a Complement clause element, (John is a doctor) or an Adverbial clause element, (John is in the garden). In John kicked the ball, the transitive verb is 'kicked' and the direct object is 'the ball'. Hope that helps.
