Short Range- The Master Sword and Hylian Shield of Link are a deadly combination, but Ezio has no trouble getting around shields and the dual weapons should be able to overpower Link and the Master Sword. EDGE: Ezio

Mid-Range- The Condottiero War Hammer is a large, slow weapon; but as most large, slow weapons, it is very powerful and deadly. The Slingshot and Hookshot are great tactical weapons and can easily give Link an advantage, but as with the Hylian Shield Ezio can avoid them. EDGE: Ezio

Long Range- Link’s Hero Bow is fast and accurate; those attributes are what create the most deadly weapons in all of history. Ezio’s Crossbow however is slower to reload, but has pinpoint accuracy and has a greater range, and more power behind the shot. EDGE: Ezio

Special Weapons- The Dual Hidden Blades give not only a quick close range attack, but give Ezio a chance at an ambush. The Bombs Link uses are obviously deadly, possibly the most deadly weapon in the fight, but Ezio has the ability to avoid this attack fairly easily. EDGE: Ezio

It is a close battle in every category. But in every category I believe that Ezio has the slight advantage. Ezio's speed, elusiveness, and near-perfect accuracy put him over the top. But what gives Ezio his true advantage is his Eagle Vision. With this he can see Link where ever he is and even sense his intentions, which will be extremely useful against any and all of Link’s attacks. As I said, this is a close competition, but Ezio has the edge. WINNER: Ezio Auditore da Firenze
