When I link the object data, the objects move, why?

In the video, the two cubes get the object data linked and they stay in their location. Mine go into the same location and now I have to rotate the one back to where I had it.

Figured it out, Make sure you rotate the top of the chest in object mode so it registers that it was rotated. Also set your origin to center of geo on both objects

  I have the same problem with "wandering mesh", please can somebody tell me, what's wrong? The upper solutions don't work in my case. I also applied all possible transformations.
