symbolic (or soft) link = similar to Windows shortcut. You can think of the symbolic link as being a signpost to the original file.
hard link = extra entry in the filesystem index that points to the same location on the disk as the original file's name. Think of the original name and the hard link as two doors into the same room.
mklink /d /h /j link target
