In Persona 4 Golden, the social link of the Sun Arcana is associated with Ayane. Therefore, to rank up the social link, you must unlock and level your bond with Ayane. For the P4 Golden Sun social link, you’ll have to choose between Ayane and Yumi.
Both characters have a different storyline, and your choice here will decide how you can rank up the Sun arcana social link. Ayane is a pretty girl facing some trouble in her life; therefore, why not help her first?
This Persona 4 Golden guide contains all the information you need about Ayane, her social link, and the rewards and persona you can fuse as you rank up this social link.
Who is Ayane
Like many other characters in the game, Ayane is also a high school student in her first year at Yasugami High School. Ayane plays the trombone and is a member of a music band in her school referred to as the Symphonic band.
Despite her skills, Ayane is not confident about herself. She feels doubtful about her abilities and fears social pressure and many other things. Players need to become friends with her and help her gain self-confidence so she can ignore the happenings around her and achieve her goals.
How to unlock the Persona 4 Ayane Social link
Players in Persona 4, during their time in Inabe, need to participate in different extracurricular activities. The sports club you will join will lead you to the Strength social link, and the art club you will join will lead you to the Sun Social link.
However, in the art clubs, players can choose between a music band and a drama club. You can still rank up your social link no matter which club you choose. To increase your social link bond with Ayane and spend time with her, you need to choose the music band as she’s a part of it. You can only choose one club so if you want to improve social link with Yumi you need another playthrough of Persona 4 Golden.
Once you choose to be a music band member on 4th April, the social link with Ayane will begin. After this, you can meet her on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday in the practice building in the school. However, having a social stat of level 4 will make the entire process of ranking up the bond with Ayane much easier.
