So perhaps fetters are fitting to the first link ignorance.
My impression is fetters are things giving rise to self-view. Therefore, it seems most fetters would be upadana, bhava +. For example:
And what is clinging? These four are clingings: sensuality clinging, view clinging, precept & practice clinging and doctrine of self clinging. This is called clinging.
Bhikkhus, there are these five lower fetters. What five? Identity view, doubt, the distorted grasp of rules and vows, sensual desire, ill will. These are the five lower fetters. This Noble Eightfold Path is to be developed for direct knowledge of these five lower fetters, for the full understanding of them, for their utter destruction, for their abandoning.”
And what is becoming? These three are becomings: sensual becoming, form becoming & formless becoming. This is called becoming.
Bhikkhus, there are these five higher fetters. What five? Lust for form, lust for the formless, conceit, restlessness, ignorance. These are the five higher fetters.
Maybe the last two fetters fit into the ignorance link.
