         Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies/Gentlemen:

     We are acting as corporate  counsel to OneLink  Communications,  Inc.  (the
"Company") in connection  with the original  registration by the Company on Form
S-8 (the "Registration  Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the  "Act") of options and  1,500,000  shares (the  "Shares")  of Common  Stock
issuable pursuant to the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").

     In acting as such counsel and for the purpose of rendering this opinion, we
have reviewed copies of the following, as presented to us by the Company:

         1.       The Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended.

         2.       The Company's Bylaws, as amended.

         3.       Certain  corporate   resolutions   adopted  by  the  Board  of
                  Directors and  shareholders  of the Company  pertaining to the
                  adoption  and  approval  of the Plan and the  increase  in the
                  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  reserved  for  issuance
                  thereunder.

         4.       The Plan, as amended.

         5.       The Registration Statement.

     Based on,  and  subject  to, the  foregoing  and upon  representations  and
information  provided by the Company or its  officers  or  directors,  it is our
opinion as of this date that:



<PAGE>





         1.       The Shares are validly authorized by the Company's Articles
                  of Incorporation, as amended.

         2.       Upon  issuance and delivery of the Shares  against  receipt by
                  the Company of the  consideration  for the Shares  pursuant to
                  the terms of the Plan,  the  Shares  will be  validly  issued,
                  fully paid and nonassessable.

     We hereby  consent  to the  filing of this  opinion  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration Statement.

                                             Very truly yours,

                                             FREDRIKSON & BYRON, P.A.
