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 (My feet got wet. feet->wet).
It would be difficult but possible to use 'started' as a linking verb, for example:
The engine started itself. (engine = itself). or:
She started the engine herself. This is not a linking verb because the object of the verb 'started' is 'the engine', not 'herself', the indirect object.
Normally, 'started' is not a linking verb.
