So...

Close Range: Master Sword wins. Because that tomahawk has a f--king terrible design, and would probably break. Edge: Link.

Mid Range: Rope Dart wins. The gale boomerang is not exactly a lethal weapon, while the Rope Dart can be used in your best Scorpion impression to strike exposed areas, such as the neck, eyes, and femur. Since this seems to be TP Link, he has a couple extra layers of padding on his torso - a layer of chainmail and a leather pad (these are visible in his in-game model). If this is TP Link, it will make a difference, though the Gale Boomerang is still not going to kill. Edge: Connor.

Long Range: Tie. They're both similar shortbows (Longbows are longer than the user's body), and Link's instant weapon mastery counters the larger experience Connor has had with his bow. The Gale Boomerang could actually f--k up Connor's shot, but we're comparing the bows here. Edge: Even.

Blackpowder Weaponry: Bombs win. That slight extra armor I mentioned earlier will make the difference between a kill shot and a nasty wound. Even without that, the reload time on those pistols is a b---h and a half. Link has far more bombs at his disposal, with far less lag in loading. Edge: Link.

Special Weapon: Hylian Shield wins. The Hidden Blades are not a combat tool. And if someone is disarmed and he's charging at you, you hold your sword out and block with your shield, 'cause he's going to impale himself, and the shield will take care of any surprise he had coming. Edge: Link.

Special Factors: Triforce of Courage actually gets this. There's ample evidence that it grants the bearer instantaneous mastery of any weapon, meaning if Link gets disarmed, he can easily pick up any random weapon and use it like a pro. Eagle vision is nice - but the Triforce is more useful, since it's passive.

Not going to evaluate X-Factors. Do your own work.

Overall: Link wins. Connor is simply screwed by his underwhelming and stealth-focused arsenal. Link overpowers him with killing power on all fronts, save for the Gale Boomerang - which can still mess up his arrows, as mentioned.
