Hi I am trying to link the x and y axis of these subplots together for when the user uses the mouse wheel to scroll i would like both to be zoomed in.

Link the xlim and ylim properties.
Or use or linkaxes()
Here's a demo. It uses tiledlayout instead of subplot but you can easily apply this to subplot as well by replacing "nexttile" with "subplot(___)" and removing "tiledlayout".
x = rand(1,100)-.5 *10;
y = rand(1,100)-.5 * 5;
figure()
tiledlayout(1,2)
h(1) = nexttile;
plot(h(1), x,y,'o')
h(2) = nexttile;
plot(h(2), x,y,'o')
linkprop(h, {'xlim','ylim'})
% OR
% linkaxes(h)

What would I use instead of the H?

H are the axis handles.
Example
h(1) = subplot(1,2,1);
h(2) = subplot(1,2,2):
linkaxes(h)
or
sp1 = subplot(1,2,1);
sp2 = subplot(1,2,2);
linkaxes([sp1,sp2])
