While both of those are true about Eagle Vision, Ezio's Eagle Vision also gives him the ability to sense his opponents next move before he makes it. As for the shield and Hero Bow, Ezio spends his entire life avoiding these, and is able to do so with relative ease. Even the best archer can not hit a target that can move as fast as Ezio and sense when he will take the shot. The same defense strategy works for Link's mid-range weapons, as well. I don't mean to offend you in any way, or offend Link (if that's possible), but if you look from an un-biased view and look at this almost scientifically, than the edge should probably be given to Ezio.
