Only gameplay, presuming 2D characters can do the same things in 3D, no glitches, completely open field for miles around a planet.
Round one:
Samus vs. Link
presuming all of samus' gear and all the links merged into one. that includes 100+ energy tanks for samus and 100+ hearts for link, and all damage reduction equipment on both stacks.
My view: an unbreakable mirror shield and infinite "magic meter" for three days at a time per bottle, plus "magic armor" means samus would be unable to damage link for days.
However, her own armor takes no damage from super missiles (as seen by massive defensie boost and SA-X super missile immunity in gameplay, not even her most powerful suit that is outright impeccable in a later game to all but one enemy), so bombs arrows do nothing, and link would not only need excellent aim, but the mobility to hit a speed booster target. Even with pegasus boots, link can't chase her down. she would just get far enough away to wait out link's invulnerability for a month, then one shot him, unless link's mirror shield reflects her hyper beam successfully.
