By numerically solving the three-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation we analyze the cascade process associated with the evolution and decay of a pair of linked vortex rings. The system decays through a series of reconnections to produce finally three unlinked, unfolded, almost planar vortex loops. Total helicity, initially zero, remains unchanged throughout the process. The gradual transfer from writhe (due to initial linking) to twist helicity, followed by a continuous relaxation of twist across scales during the evolution is shown to be a generic mechanism that consistently takes place on each individual component.
