The Warrior's EDGES

Close Range Aragorn: Aragorn uses his Dagger for both close range and as a throwing weapon giving him more options to use it then Altair.

Mid Range EVEN: While Anduril is a legendary sword it's not about the sword. It's about the user behind the sword. Anduril may be a legendary sword but imagine it in the hands of a drunk person. Just because it's legendary doesn't mean that a drunk guy is invivcible with it as I said it's based on the person wielding the sword and both Aragorn and Altair are Master Swordsmen and have incredible Swordsmanship skills meaning they could battle each other for a long long time with their swords and just becasue Anduril is a legendary sword doesn't make it a automatic victory over Altair who is equally skilled with a sword.

Long Range Even: While the Bow is more accurate it's not like Altair doesn't deal with archers all the time and his Assassin training has probably helped him to dodge hundreds of Archers. Even so Aragorn has been known to defelct throwing knives before problem is, if he can see them coming and what if Altair sneeks behind Aragorn he won't be able to block them then. Just saying that both of these Warriors have had experiences dodging and deflecting arrows/throwing knives before and it's their skill that will come down.

Special Altair: While the Dagger has the range over the Hidden Blade it's only one Dagger and it's not like Altair will just dodge it anyway. In the end the primary weapon of the Assassins who are even trained to use it in full frontal combat if they have to will dominate casue once Aragorn tosses that Dagger it's gone and he just lost himself his close range weapon too.

Soldiers Altair: While the Gondor Soldiers have armor on it's not like the Assassins haven't faced foes with armor like the Templars. The Assassins are more well trained as they were trained since they were kids and are trained for the openings in Armored soldiers.

Battleground Minas Tirith

The Deadliest Warrior-Altair: This will be a Very, Very close match-up but in the end while Aragorn has the more combat experience and the loyal soldiers. Altair has the training as he was trained since he was a kid, he has the mind of a tactician since he has to plan how to assassinate his target, he has the more well trained soldiers who were also trained since they were kids, and he has the element of surprise on his side as Aragorn won't be expecting the Hidden Blade. Also let's not forget about the Battleground Factors that are mentioned and Altair will be able to climb buidlings to get to safety and hide among the people or in haystacks (if there are any) and wait for the moment to strike. Let's also not forget about his Eagle Vision ability a while Aragorn is looking for Altair who will be hiding among the crowd Altair will be able to see Aragorn with his Eagle Vision and walk through the crowd towards him and assassinate him and just walk away.
