Linked Lists are an interesting and useful concept.
They are not too difficult to understand.
Think of them as a database.
The database is not just one record occurring immediately after the
previous record. The last part of a record is a pointer (an address) to
where the next record is to be found. You can also make a pointer back to
the previous record.
So, when you modify a linked list, you only modify the last part of the
record, the part that points to the next record, or the previos record.

Here is an example

Item 1 is initially linked to item 2.
Later I want to link item ! to item 24.
All I need to do is change Item 1's link.
I change it from 2 to 24.

You could implement this as an array.
With some of the array elements being the address of the links.
