If you want to know that why oxidation and reduction reactions are linked, it is vital to know that during chemical transformation, positive and negative ions are formed. For instance metal gets oxidized as it loses the electron readily.
Similarly non metals tend to gain electrons to maintain stable octet,. Therefore they get reduced in the output. In short it can be said that the any reaction is oxidation and reduction at the same time.
