How can one do this (link the controller & view) without Visual Studio?

It is all by convention.
You place your views in the Views/ControllerName folder for every controller and that’s the default location for framework to look for. But it is not a must in any way.
When in your controller you write
Framework assumes you want the view with the same name as action name and looks for it in Views/Controller/ folder. Then Views/Shared.
But in your actions you can write
Framework will look for a View named “ViewName” then in same folders.
So default name for a view would be the name of action being executed. And that’s a convention.
