For the sake of consistency, I'll assume that every Link has all of the abilities from their game, but otherwise they're equal in terms of number of hearts, stamina, healing items, etc. Many of the Links have some sort of quick travel ability to get around Hyrule. Since the location isn't specified, and might not be Hyrule, I'll ignore this in general. Also, as a disclaimer, I haven't personally played most of these games so there may well be some details I've missed. Now, considering their combat capabilities in chronological order, and not counting remakes or games in the Zelda universe that do not feature Link:

  • The Legend of Zelda: Unsurprisingly, one of the least well equipped of the Links. Has no advantage over any of the others and will definitely lose.
  • Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: Actually pretty powerful. Has abilities that can shoot fireballs, reflect magic attacks back at their users, and summon lightning that kills enemies instantly. A strong contender.
  • The Legend of Zelda (Board Game): No chance. Has no offensive powers besides a number of abstracted sword icons.
  • Zelda (Game & Watch): Very limited abilities. Nothing that's going to swing things in his favour.
  • The Legend of Zelda (Nelsonic game watch): Doesn't appear to have anything but his sword and boomerang. Not going to win.
  • The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: Another strong contender. Any of the three medallions can kill almost everything onscreen, plus he can escape into the Dark World with the magic mirror, and become temporarily invulnerable with the cane of Byrna, or invulnerable and invisible with the magic cape.
  • Zelda no Densetsu: Kamigami no Triforce (Barcode Battler II): I couldn't find many details about this one, but I'm not hopeful about his prospects.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Doesn't really seem to have access to any item/ability that others don't. Not likely to win.
  • Link: The Faces of Evil: The book of Koridai is shown to instantly trap Ganon in its pages. Assuming this can be used against his fellow Links, he could consistently defeat one of them, but after that he doesn't have any game-winning moves up his sleeve.
  • Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon: Link is captured for the entire game so his combat abilities aren't really shown. I'm going to go ahead and assume he'll lose.
  • Zelda's Adventure: As above.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: The titular ocarina can summon rain, change the time of day, summon a few NPCs, none of which seem amazingly helpful. Otherwise has no particular abilities that most other Links don't get.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: In addition to the above abilities, the ocarina can now transport Link backwards and forwards in time. Link can also transform with the aid of masks. The most combat-notable options are the blast mask (explode at will), stone mask (be overlooked by enemies), Goron mask (rolling attacks and access to powder kegs, more powerful explosives), Zora mask (swimming, boomerang attacks, and an electric shield), and the giant and fierce deity masks (augment combat abilities). Perhaps the most versatile of the Links.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons: Can summon an animal companion with his flute, and the magic ring has a few abilities that could come in useful. Fairly average overall, not likely to come out on top.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages: Can travel through time with the harp of ages. Doesn't seem to have any other abilities that would confer much of an edge.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords: Contains four separate Links. This would be a huge advantage if they can work together, but given the battle royale format, I'm assuming they are fighting one another as well as the other Links. They can only equip one item at a time and have no inventory, giving them a huge disadvantage over the others. Definitely not going to win.

  • The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: A conductor's baton that can affect the wind, and a sentient boat. Might have an edge if the battle were to take place at sea, but otherwise not going to win.
  • The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: Being able to shrink might help with stealth? Otherwise doesn't seem to have much going for him.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Can turn into a wolf, but that's about it. Not going to win.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass: No particularly notable combat abilities.
  • Link's Crossbow Training: No hope. You're going to need more than just a crossbow to win this one.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks: In theory the train could be useful offensively, but he has no way to force enemy Links onto the tracks, so in practice he's probably limited to using the cannon. Not very likely to win.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Has a tame loftwing (giant bird) he can ride. The bird mount would be a huge advantage, were it not for the fact that every single other Link has ready access to bows and arrows. Otherwise doesn't have any particular edge.
  • The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds: His only notable ability is to merge into walls. This isn't bad, as it does make him invulnerable to 3D enemies, but it is strictly worse than being able to, for instance, travel through time or to another world, as the enemy can always see where he is.
  • Hyrule Warriors: A lot of combat abilities, but these are mostly for mowing down large numbers of weak enemies. Might struggle against individually high powered enemy Links.
  • Monopoly: The Legend of Zelda: It's honestly unclear whether Link is actually in this game, other than being printed on the board? At any rate, his property management skills are not going to help him here.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes: What few abilities he does have rely on the three Links working in tandem to be used to their full effect, which, as it is a battle royale, they will not. Absolutely no chance.
  • My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Link only appears as a static image (in wolf form). Even if we're generous and suppose this depiction of Link can fight, he'd presumably just have the same abilities as in the actual Twilight Princess game.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Several unusual abilities, such as stasis, cryonis, magnesis, but none that are hugely combat relevant except the bomb, which is strictly worse than other Links' bombs with its low damage and recharge time.
  • Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer featuring The Legend of Zelda: Doesn't appear to have any exceptional abilities. The restraint of only moving on the beat of the music is unlikely to work in his favour either.
  • Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity: Similar to Hyrule Warriors. Has additional abilities mostly identical to those in Breath of the Wild.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: The ability to construct vehicles etc. is potentially very powerful, but requires an amount of setup that he simply may not have. His other abilities don't seem especially likely to swing the battle overwhelmingly in his favour.

First things first, any Link that can travel back in time (Majora's Mask, Oracle of Ages), into an alternate universe (A Link to the Past) or become an invulnerable 2D object (A Link Between Worlds) will do so, and will wait there for the other Links to fight among themselves. I am assuming here that abilities that change the time of day (e.g. Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker) are just accelerating/deccelerating the local flow of time, not transporting Link himself relative to his surroundings.

The remaining Links who cannot escape will be decimated by Link (The Adventure of Link)'s AoE lightning attack which kills everything onscreen. Link (Breath of the Wild) might be able to use magnesis to discharge the lightning into something metallic nearby, but is unlikely to be able to follow up with anything devastating, given Link (The Adventure of Link)'s ability to reflect most attacks.

Link (Oracle of Ages) has no particularly useful abilities, and Link (A Link Between Worlds) will be easy to pick off as he emerges from the wall, so neither of them have any chance. On returning to the present, Link (Majora's Mask) can use his stone mask to be overlooked by Link (The Adventure of Link) to get the drop on him. Alternatively, Link (A Link to the Past) can use his temporary invulnerability/invisibility to avoid the lightning attack and hit him. Either way they will be the last two standing.

Link (Majora's Mask) could try the stone mask gambit again, or simply take a high powered mask and hope to overwhelm his opponent by force, but unfortunately he has no counter to Link (A Link to the Past)'s ability to simply jump out of the Dark World, use his quake medallion to kill everything on screen, then jump back to the Dark World to refill on magic, until he wins. Link (A Link to the Past) will be the ultimate victor here.
