it depends on what your trying to change on hover.

for changing every links color to black on hover it would be

a:hover {
   color: #000;
}

if you wanted specific links inside a class changed to black on hover it would be

.className a:hover{
   color: #000;
}

Other possibility:

E.g. I want the hover on the link (a) by putting the mouse on the title element (h1)

h1:hover a{
...
}
