Linked vs Dynamic Array

In consideration of modern architectures and memory layout, are linked data structures ever worth it?
It feels like an dynamic array is a lot better in every sense.

I don't normally need any empty slots, since i design the program such that i append new values at end of last non-empty element(the real_size of array not allocated_size) which is less then MAX_SIZE(allocated_size),and when array is too fragmented i compactify the empty slots and array first empty element become a lower index with.
