Link is the hero of time with many abilities.Link is an exceptional swordsman. His skill with various weapons and items allows him to easily adapt and master each new tool he acquires and employ them in battles. Link shows himself to be an excellent marksman. Including but not restricted to with a Bow and Arrow, Boomerang, Slingshot, HookShot, ClawShot etc. etc.
Link is also very agile, proven as he is able to perform back-flips and somersaults with ease to dodge his enemies' attacks at the very start of his adventures.
Additionally, Link has proven to be very strong physically, as he is usually able to move heavy objects and overpower larger enemies rather easily. Along the fact his power to ride a giant Boar, and his horseback riding skills are impeccable.
In the "Oracle of Seasons", Link is shown to have at least some skills in hand-to-hand combat with the boxing mini-game and in Twilight Princess, he is taught the art of sumo wrestling by the mayor of Ordon Village; proving Link isn't completely defenseless without a weapon.
Link even uses magic in the form of spells. On several occasions he has even been able to shape shift into another form including a fairy, bunny, wolf, Deku, Goron, Zora, a Giant, and a Deity.
Finally, he is endowed with the powers of the Triforce of Courage.

(side note: being able to side step and dodge Fox's laser is proof he could dodge a bullet. Lets also state that by official translation of Nintendo that Farore's wind can be used as a quick teleportation)

Illusion Stab Combo, also in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
for the sake of length I have not gone to deeply into each specific Link by assuming all the basics are kept through out each one.
tl;dr: "Link" combined by all titles is extremely over powered.
including his feats which include
easily hurling a 1000+ ton item
surviving a full blow radius explosion that disintegrated the moon, then landing back to earth and waking up minutes after wards.
being able to on reaction dodge a Laser blast from Star Fox's blaster and side step Whip attacks from Majora that break the Speed of Sound.
and with a various amount of items at his Dante can stab someone a million times and is powerful enough to kill demons in 1 shot--nuff said. disposal, Link wins by far of over anything Nero has done. Besides the fact that Link is like Batman and has almost any item ready for any situation.
now stop ignoring my damn posts because you guys have no answer for them or come back to reply because I win, strictly by fact. You need to admit defeat when it's right in front of your eyes and it is okay to be wrong.
Drop your Fan Boyism down, I even speak ill of Link in a big way and still am only pointing out the hard core facts.
So there it is. Link wins, Link could easily defeat Nero or Dante, since they're like ****ing Clones, how original. And until any of you can comprise a solid list against mine to show there is a shadow of a doubt then I'll be more then happy to see it.
Point and case. [/B]
Dante is the most powerful being in his universe and can kill demons[example: the most powerful god]in 1 shot. And can stab someone 1,000,000 times. Batman? LMAO, Dante is like Superman. Fought someone who could wipe a planet clean of life.
Dante has arrows as well. He could throw Lucifer in his face killing him by an explosion. Or just use Pandora's Form. I don't feel like bringing up Dante's abilities. But he has Dreadnought which could asorb at Link throws at him[or MajinForm/RoyalGuard which gives him invincbility and can dodge all of his attacks]. He could also use Ultimate taking energy from Link and using it as health. And Dante is Sparda's Form which could own Link. And Dante's reaction of better than Links. Hell, even could shake /most/ of Link's attacks off with his Demonic Aura.
