How Does a Stealth Address Prevent ‘Address Linkage’?

A Stealth Address prevents Address Linkage by generating a unique, one-time destination address for every single transaction. Since the same address is never used twice on the public ledger, a third party cannot track the recipient's transaction history or determine their true public wallet address.

This breaks the link between the recipient's identity and their transaction history.
