During hierarchical clustering, the distance between two sub-clusters needs to be computed. The different types of linkages describe the different approaches to measure the distance between two sub-clusters of data points. The different types of linkages are:
Single Linkage
Complete Linkage
Average Linkage etc.
In my this video , I have tried to give intuition of these different methods.
