Speed really doesn't mean jacksh*t as much as generic belief would imply, especially when the oppostition has just short of every other advantage, which includes as I said, ivulnerability, as with infinite magic, and attacks that are one-hit kills at best (i.e. WW"s Light arrows). Link might not have a gun, but when he's protected from at least a good number of forms of physical harm by the spell of one of Hyrule's three Goddesses, he doesn't exactly need it. Nayru's Love isn't the only form of invulnerability Link has either. While he may not have an innate transformation that unleashes the full power of a demonic heritage, he does have at least two or three potentially useful transformations in something like a vs. debate, one of which makes him a giant probably that much more powerful proportionate to his size, and another which turns him into a deity on a potentially higher plane than the antagonist of the game in which the transformation appeared.
I'm not necessarily saying Link could take Dante 10/10 (at least not any individual Link, cuz then, yeah, I wouldn't count on him lasting agaist Dante), just that while he isn't as heavily exagerrated feats-wise in terms of how they're presented, Link with everything he's had throughout the series makes for a tougher opponent than probably entire casts of a few VG series, even ones with high tech; to say he's "toast" against Dante is an oversatement, even with a composite Dante. Ganon on the other hand has not only come back from both imprisonment and/or death almost regularly, but has pulled the strings from such states to regain full power and/or physical form, aside from the things he can do without even his physical presence.
