Lost admin “manage_link” capability WordPress. No “Links” menu item in admin menu

After a lot of badgering about, I discovered this:

If you had no links in your WordPress site prior to upgrading to 3.5.1, you actually need to install a separate plugin to manage your links – Links Manager:

Job done!
