Looking at the weapons, it seems Link has an advantage at short range, due to his better weapons, and Robin has and advantage at long range due to his better magic. As for the x-factors:

Robin has the clear edge on tactics, being, you know, the hero in a game that is all about tactics. Edge: Robin.

Training. Edge: Robin.

Experience: Link fought strong enemies too (Ganon in his beast form), and he did it without help. Edge: Link.

Strength: Link can lift rocks. Robin's argument is invalid. Edge: Link

Agility: Having extra athleticism in the form of backflips can make a key difference in a fight. Edge: Link.

Overall, it seems as though this battle will be fought between someone who has had formal training (Robin), vs. someone who has carved out his destiny mostly alone (Link). Link has an edge in the x-factors, but training and long-range magic can keep Link at bay. If Robin has the assistance of his friends in battle, or starts off far away from Link, I'll give the battle to him. Otherwise, Link wins.
