Lifelink
Lifelink is a static ability.
Damage dealt by a source with lifelink causes that source’s controller, or its owner if it has no controller, to gain that much life (in addition to any other results that damage causes). See rule 120.3.
If an object changes zones before an effect causes it to deal damage, its last known information is used to determine whether it had lifelink.
The lifelink rules function no matter what zone an object with lifelink deals damage from.
Rulings
Notably, the ability granted by the second mode isn’t lifelink. It’s a triggered ability that triggers whenever the creature with that ability deals damage. If that creature also has lifelink, you’ll gain life as a result of that damage and also when the triggered ability resolves. Multiple instances of this ability trigger separately.
Only creatures you control when Stir the Pride resolves will get the bonuses.
