Should is a linking verb depending on what context you use it in. For example, if you were to say: "I should not be here," that would be a linking verb. There is no action in that sentence. But, if you were to say instead, "I should go swim at the park," that is not necessarily being used as a linking verb. There is real action in that sentence, rather than just a simple "this is that" statement. "Should" by itself, or rather "should be" is used as a linking verb. But when added to an action verb, it is no longer a linking verb.
It can be a helping verb and an action verb.
Example: "After it lands on Mars, the probe will send info. back to earth."
Will here is a helping verb. It helps "send" become future tense.
In these examples will is an action verb not a helping verb as above. Both are past tenses .
He willed the gold ring to his favorite daughter.
The magician said he willed the egg off the table into his pocket.
The verb 'will be' is a linking verb. A linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object is a different form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (My feet got wet. feet->wet). Examples:
Mary will be the one in the witch costume. (Mary=one)
John called and said he will be late. (he->late)
