No, 'followed', the past tense of the verb to follow is not a linking verb.
The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign:
- the object of the verb is a different form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister) or
- the subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).
