This was never an argument because the idea of link beating spirit is so absurd that the entire topic is a big joke.
If link vanishes using the cape sephiroth would fly in the air and cast any spell he wants, or just waits suspended in air where link is unable to do anything. If he shoot arrows he revels his location and gets hit with a spell,
Link has never shown the ability to move as fast as sephiroth, so his shild would render pointless because sephiroth would just move behind him.
Sephiroth dodges bullets which travel around 2500 FPS were arrows max out at 400 so there is no way an arrow would ever connect.
Grappling hook, throwing rocks, boomerang, bombs, or any of his magic spell would lack the speed to connect as well.
Link could do nothing to sephiroth the match is too outmatched as I said before.
If you have a way that Link would beat sephiroth be my guest and reveal it to me, beside the stupid go back in time and kill him as a baby.
