Is there anything that could help me memorise the argument order of the ln command?

I'll take anything from little helper phrases over shell extensions to replacements written in Rust. I only use the command occasionally, but I need a fool-proof solution. Do you have any tricks to get it right?

I think of it in terms of the cp command: Source first, followed by destination. The last argument is always the new file/link you are creating.
