Linked-twist maps are area-preserving, piecewise diffeomorphisms, defined on a subset of the torus. They are non-uniformly hyperbolic generalizations of the well-known Arnold cat map. We show that a class of canonical examples have polynomial decay of correlations for $\alpha $-Hölder observables, of order $1/ n$.
